THE BBC SUMMER FESTIVAL FLIES THE FLAG
FOR A GREENER LIFESTYLE FOR ALL
11-15 June, The NEC, Birmingham

The BBC Summer Festival takes place at The NEC between 11 and 15 June and is aiming to educate and persuade its visitors to adopt a greener lifestyle.  With a brand new central feature called A Sustainable Future, the message will be hard-hitting but the call to action will be easy steps that everyone can adopt in their everyday lives to make a real difference to the future.

Visitors are being asked to start their eco-campaign at home before they visit the show by looking out their old mobile phones and bringing them along to take part in the UK’s largest ever mobile phone recycling event.  In association with Coolaworld, the BBC Summer Festival is hoping to help make a dent in the growing mobile phone mountain.  Over 18 million mobile phones are purchased each year yet only 3 million are recycled with the rest ending up in landfill sites or gathering dust in drawers or cupboards.  Coolaworld will use profits from the recycling campaign to support eco-charities and BBC Haymarket are offering discounts on show merchandise and on tickets to the BBC Good Food Show in November to those taking part as an extra incentive.

Once at the show and having recycled their old phones, visitors will be invited to take a journey around the Sustainable Future feature and learn practical ways of reducing their carbon footprint.  Almost half of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions, the main greenhouse gas which causes climate change, actually come from the things we do every day. Leaving lights on unnecessarily or overfilling the kettle all waste energy and result in needless carbon dioxide emissions. Energy Doctors from the Energy Saving Trust will be identifying simple steps that everyone can take to make a difference as well as giving visitors the chance to get an energy saving ‘prescription’ for their home.  There will even be a free energy saving light bulb courtesy of Philips Lighting (while stocks last)!

Other resources will be under the spotlight too with Waterwise offering information about ways to save water and the Love Food Hate Waste campaign presenting ideas and advice for using up leftovers in delicious recipes.  One of the main ways of reducing our carbon footprint from food consumption, is to grow our own and the sustainable gardening expert Hannah Genders will be on the Sustainable Future allotment every day to show how easy it is to grow delicious fruit, vegetables and herbs at home.

In the heart of the Sustainable Future feature will be the Green Clinic with free sessions by celebrities and industry experts.  Hosted by environmental broadcaster, author and consultant Joanna Yarrow, these sessions will be inspiring and informative.  John Craven, Ben Fogle, Oliver Heath, Tina Jesson and Hannah Genders will be amongst the speakers with topics including How to cool you carbon footprint, The Eco Home, Go Green in your garden, Top Ten Tips to green up your home and Our Countryside.

A selection of exciting eco-products will also be available at the show.  Visit the Green England Pavilion for a chance to catch up on all the latest solar powered technology for the home, genuinely environmentally friendly PCs, the Standby Buster which helps you turn off your appliances rather than wasting electricity by leaving them on standby, recycling aids and the immensely versatile Onya bags which are strong yet fold up small to clip onto a handbag or keyring so you never need ask for a plastic bag again!

Elsewhere at the BBC Summer Festival, the eco theme is very apparent.  In BBC Gardeners’ World Live, the world class show gardens reflect the interest with “The Good Life Garden” sponsored by Bradstone growing vegetables and salads and collecting and recycling water, the Slugger Off organic and eco-friendly garden and Toby Buckland’s Ethical Garden which is being constructed from recycled materials.  A recreation of the allotment Joe Swift is growing in London for Gardeners’ World and Monty Don’s Orchard combined with the Grow Your Own Stage continue the message of the eco and taste benefits of home-grown produce.

At the BBC Good Food Show Summer, Slow Food Taste Workshops aim to convince visitors that locally grown food tastes great and that reducing your carbon footprint on food does not mean compromising on quality.  There will also be an opportunity to stock up on environmentally friendly picnic ware from The Wholeleaf Co. which has produced a fantastic range of plates, bowls and platters made entirely from palm leaves.  Water, microwave, oven and freezer proof, these plates are rigid and made entirely from the naturally shed Areca palm leaves.  When you have finished with them, they are also compostable! 

With so many practical ideas and steps that everyone can follow, it is hoped that visitors to this year’s BBC Summer Festival will take up the challenge and start incorporating more environmentally-friendly measures in their everyday lives.  After all, every little helps!

Accents from nature feature throughout the new ranges from Silkwood Traders, a

 “ Fairly Traded” company at the 2008 NEC BBC Good Food Show.

 The rich, autumnal tones of their stunning lacquerware and the exquisitely embroidered orchids on their stylish bottle bags take their inspiration from the natural world.

Silkwood Traders specialise in “lacquerware”- lacquered wood, a completely natural product, made from bamboo or wood, covered with layer upon layer of lacquer made from the resin of the son tree. John Rennie, owner of Silkwood Traders, says “By far our best selling product is the“wine and olive oil holder”a half moon shape that balances wine or olive oil. Most people by it as a mischievous gift because without instructions it could have other uses. It is a great conversation piece and at £10 for a handcrafted item that takes 3 months to make, it is a great gift”

Also showing are Silkwood Trader’s textile bottle bags that are designed to carry a standard 500ml drinks bottle and come in a wide variety of colours and materials. The embroidered flower and nature range features orchids, fuchsias, ivy and greenstone swirls. Cute dogs and cats also get a look in as do lions, giraffes and more from the animal range.

 “ We have designed these as a fashionable and practical way to carry water. No more leaky handbags, losing your bottle plus you can put your money and keys securely under the bottle when exercising. We also design and supply embroidered bottle bags for corporate gift and fundraising charities” says John.

The products are made from hand-loomed ethnic materials and wood from sustainable jackfruit trees and also from bamboo. Showcasing time- honoured craft traditions and skills handed down over the centuries, Silkwood Traders wooden lacquerware and textile bottle bags make a stunning addition to any core gift range.

TASTE THE FOOD OF THE FUTURE

AT THE FINALS OF THE NESTLE TOQUE D’OR COMPETITION

BEING HELD AT THE BBC GOOD FOOD SHOW SUMMER

11-15 June, The NEC, Birmingham

The finals of one of the leading competitions for catering students are to take place at the BBC Good Food Show Summer from 11-15 June.  In celebration of its 20^th anniversary, The Nestle Toque D’Or competition will see five colleges battle it out for the prestigious title.  Visitors to the show will have the unique opportunity to book a seat in a specially created restaurant to taste the food of the future cooked by tomorrow’s celebrity chefs.

Some of the UK’s best know chefs including James Martin, Jamie Oliver and Anton Mossiman entered the Toque D’Or competition in their college days and it is highly regarded.  Today’s competition is not just a cooking contest, but a challenge to present a restaurant concept which requires imagination, creativity and business skills to create a theme for a restaurant which is then reflected in the menu.  The menus must be healthy and nutritious and incorporate certain ingredients from Nestle Professional.  Each college team consists of six members, four chefs and two front of house staff and together they must produce and serve a three course lunch for 100 paying members of the public – the sternest judges of all!

The five finalist colleges are North Warwickshire & Hinckley College; South Kent College Folkestone; North Devon College; Glasgow Metropolitan College and Carlisle College.  Their concepts range from recreating the history and traditions of the Border City of Carlisle, reducing carbon footprint by sourcing as many ingredients as possible from Kent, the Garden of England; celebrating Britain’s green and pleasant land; recreating a Scottish highland experience and a fun and dynamic approach to getting people to eat five a day.

With such wide ranging concepts, it is not surprising the menus are so varied and interesting. Diners will be treated to main courses including such delicacies as marinated fellbred mutton hotpot with roast spring lamb cutlet and apricot herb glaze; loin of Exmoor venison with a Juniper Hotpot; Scottish salmon served with warm beetroot infused sushi; seared loin of local lamb with parsnip puree and beetroot ravioli filled with caramelized shallots and a Summer Fish Surprise!  With so much at stake, the quality of the food will be out of this world.

To book a place for lunch in the restaurant and enjoy culinary creations by the celebrity chefs of tomorrow, please e-mail bbcsummerfestival@haymarket.com or telephone Louise Grant on 020 8267 8300

In the heart of BBC Gardeners’ World Live will be a magical show garden created just for the children and inspired by the new Disney Film “The Chronicles of Narnia – Prince Caspian”.  The Prince Caspian Garden will give visitors an exclusive preview of the Narnia of the new film, no longer the frozen place we saw in the first film, but a beautiful summer woodland.  Throughout the weekend C S Lewis’ words will come to life in the Prince Caspian Garden with special readings from the book to entertain the children and whet their appetite for the new film due out on 26 June. 

At the BBC Good Food Show Summer, Dad will be able to sharpen up his skills at the barbecue with sizzling demonstrations of summer menus by leading celebrity chefs including Gordon Ramsay, James Martin and the Hairy Bikers. With the chance to try out all the latest kitchen gadgets and taste some of the best produce, washed down by his favourite tipple at Drinks, The Fine Wine and Spirits show or Beers of the World Live, it will really be a Fathers’ Day to remember. 

But if gardening is more your Dad’s scene then BBC Gardeners’ World Live will be the show for him.  With top advice from celebrity gardeners including Alan Titchmarsh, Monty Don and Joe Swift and spectacular show gardens and feature areas including an allotment and orchard, inspiration for the next gardening project will never be far away.  With an array of striking and unusual plants, where better to buy your Dad a gift that will give years of joy in the garden?

Eco-warriors across the generations will take heart from the Summer Festival central feature A Sustainable Future which aims to show people what everyone can do to help protect our environment for future generations.  With a Green Clinic featuring celebrities and leading experts talking about a wide range of issues from saving water and The Eco Home to the Sustainable Garden and how to cool your carbon footprint, every member of the family will be encouraged to do their bit.  Why not take the first step at the show by taking along your old mobile phones and chargers and Coolaworld will recycle them for you.

Château de Claribès is a small family run vineyard producing red, white and rosé wines under the controlling appellations of Bordeaux and Sainte Foy Bordeaux. The château sits high above a limestone valley south of the Dordogne River. This area is renowned for producing naturally excellent grapes – as the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux states, “The wines of this small relatively unknown Appellation … distinguish themselves by their complexity and opulence, with Merlot as their base. A discovery worth making.”

The varieties of grape harmonise with the soil and climate conditions of Bordeaux, each bringing a unique character to the wines. Experts agree this is a fantastic vineyard that will continue to improve as it matures.

At Château de Claribès, they take a sustainable approach to working their vineyards, combined with the skills of their external vine consultant, they ensure balanced decisions are made for the treatment of the vines. Each parcel of vines is monitored and assessed continually so that intervention is only made as and where needed instead of by routine. For example, at the start of the 2007 growing season all the vines were treated to organic fertiliser followed by a seaweed spray to help strengthen their stems, whilst on the other hand a very small section of one parcel needed some additional nutrients and minerals to help replenish the soil. Indigenous plants are encouraged to grow between the rows of vines – this proves to be a great way to control the excess water to the vines when there is too much rain. The shallow roots of the indigenous plants take up the excess rainwater, ensuring the quality of the fruit on the vines is not diluted.

This hand crafted process means Château de Claribès only make limited quantities. The process is labour intensive, requiring careful attention to detail and results in a high quality wine that is a true reflection of the vines and the vineyards.

The Marpeau 2005 is a premier wine, made from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 20% Merlot, to add balance. It has a good tannic structure, so it ages well and will increasingly improve over the first five to ten years. It’s full of complex dark fruit flavours with hints of chocolate and liquorice. It complements spicy food perfectly and is fantastic with chocolate! Oz Clarke tasted the Marpeau in October 2007 and said, “Good rounded tannins, dry and fruity, mmm ... now you’ve got me interested, what else have you got?” 

Maison 2005 is a smooth easy drinking wine, of around 50/50 Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a dark fruity taste like blackcurrant, blackberry and black cherry and has aromas of vanilla and oak. It’s long in the mouth and sweet without being overly sweet, like jam. At the right temperature you can drink this wine anytime. Arthur Mauriac tasted the Maison in May 2007 and commented, “Good balance between fruit and structure. Full bodied wine in the beginning and sweetness in mid pallet. Good finish, well balanced, with soft tannins.”

The Rosé 2006 is Château de Claribès’ first rosé, and includes a high Merlot content, as well some Cabernet Franc from one of their 50-year-old vineyards. Harvested at night to keep them cold, the grapes are placed in a cooled vat for six hours to extract the cherry pink colour, gently pressed and then cool fermented. This gives clean and fresh wine, which lingers on the mouth for a lot longer than most rosés. Oz Clarke tasted the Rosé in October 2007 and said, “Mmm ... I like this, good fruit, dry. Great with food as well as on its own because it really is a dry rose.” 

The Sauvignon Blanc Sec 2006 is made using grapes that are handpicked whilst cold and make it to the tank ten minutes after being picked. The vines are 25 to 30 years old and carefully nurtured to create a superb wine. A pneumatic press is used in conjunction with a cool fermentation process, to capture all the fruit flavours and exotic aroma. The wine is fresh, clean on the mouth and has a very balanced level of acidity. The exotic fruit aromas are so good you can’t help but keep inhaling from the glass. Robert Joseph tasted the wine in October 2007 and commented, “Exactly what I would expect from a Sauvignon Blanc – dry, crisp, fruity, good balance between fruit and acidity.”

The location of Château de Claribès naturally produces very good grapes. With careful management and attention to detail it produces wine of great character.

You can purchase the fine wines of Château de Claribès by telephone on 0203 239 9463, by email on info@claribes.com, or via their website, www.claribes.com.  Château de Claribès will be exhibiting at the BBC Good Food Show Summer, at The NEC, Birmingham from 11^th to 15^th June – you can visit them at stand DC2 between 9am and 6pm each day.

For most adults, it's fine to enjoy a drink. However, alcohol should be consumed in moderation. Go to www.drinkaware.co.uk for more information and advice on safe and responsible drinking.

Visitors to the BBC Summer Festival will be in for an al fresco dining treat when they visit the Picnic Must-Haves section, this year sponsored by savoury pastry experts Pork Farms.

As proud sponsors, Pork Farms will be exhibiting a wide range of products from their tantalising range of savoury pastries including new additions, Munchbox and the Big Hit ^TM Kingsize Sausage Roll. They will also be showcasing their new packaging which hit the supermarket shelves this month.

The Munchbox is a handy fridge pack containing five individually wrapped sausage rolls. Each roll contains a sweet, hammy pork filling encased in a light, golden-baked puff pastry. Succulent and sweet, it’s a sure hit with every member of the family whilst their individual wrapping makes them the ideal quick, pick-me-up snack, fitting perfectly into lunchboxes, picnic baskets and even into handbags.

The Big Hit ^TM Kingsize Sausage Roll is a full of flavour roll with a chunky, meaty filling, packed with herbs, such as sage, and rounded off with a peppery seasoning. The ’Big Hit’ is perfect for those who love a punchy flavoursome hit.

Other favourites from the Pork Farms range to undergo the summer packaging makeover include the 2 Snack Pork Pies and the Pork Farms Medium Pork Pie. Both products offer the perfect treat for those who love their savouries; the dark-baked pastry case provides a rich, flavoursome crust that gives way to a well seasoned filling, packed full of tender pork. The Snack Pies offer a perfect alternative for a light-bite or handy savoury snack whilst the Medium Pie makes a tasty meal-time treat.

Commenting on the sponsorship, General Manager (brands), Nigel White, said: “This year’s Summer Festival and its Picnic Must-Haves section seemed the perfect match for Pork Farms. We pride ourselves on our 75 years of award winning experience producing natural, wholesome, freshly-baked pastries. We also know, from talking to our customers, that our products are viewed as highly sociable foods, associated with good times and togetherness. Put two and two together and you get the perfect food for a summer picnic knees-up.

“The new product additions are designed to give people a greater choice and to help educate that little bit more about the different flavours and tastes available within our range of savoury pastries. The new packaging on the other hand aims to bring savoury pastries into the 21^st century. It’s fresh and inspiring and we hope it helps to communicate how important it is to us to cram as much natural, wholesome goodness into each and every one of our products as we can.

“At the end of the day, we’re looking for people to get together and enjoy our products in great company and the Summer Festival Picnic Must-Haves section provides the perfect platform for this.”
