CANNON AND TONY TOBIN HELP YOU WIN THE DINNER PARTY WAR
Cannon has teamed up with top chef, Tony Tobin, to give hints and tips to make you the ultimate showman in the kitchen.

“I’m here to help you win the Dinner Party War, my tips and recipe ideas are a great way to show off your cookery skills, to make you top of the gastronomic crop” Tony Tobin

Tony Tobin’s Tips for winning the Dinner Party War:

Preparation

§ Try new things by creating your own light and crispy batter with just plain flour and soda water. Simply take whatever you fancy, from pepper strips to prawns to green beans, and then sprinkle in flour. Mix in with a batter made from soda water and flour and shallow fry for a few seconds. Crispy and very tasty!

§ Having trouble with a flat soufflé? A simple cheat is to put the mix inside a cooked pancake, fold over and place in the oven. Serve as whole pudding with an orange and brandy syrup – delicious and really simple!

§ I always tell people to experiment with the food they serve at dinner parties; it’s boring to cook the same meals time and time again. Don’t be scared to try new things – for example learn to shuck (open) oysters. It’s really easy and they are perfect for serving in a fantastic seafood starter.

§ A handy tip when preparing fish is to remember to keep your fingers salted, which allows you to keep a good grip on the fish. Also, a little secret is to use a pair of tweezers to help you remove small bones from the fish – it works every time.
I love pancetta with a perfect poached egg for an interesting starter. To make your egg, ensure the water is hot and swirling at a fast pace before cracking it in. Don’t add salt as it will split the egg, instead a little vinegar or lemon will help keep the egg solid. Leave for three minutes then pop in cold water. If you have a lot of guests you can take the pressure off by preparing beforehand. Simply take the egg out of the boiling water a little earlier then pop back in during the evening for 30 seconds to re-heat ready for guests
It’s easy to make your chicken dish look like it has been prepared by a professional; simply take a chicken breast and slice a pocket on one side. Fill with mozarella and basil, then cover the slit with a small chicken fillet that has been pounded flat. Place the chicken on strips of parma ham and roll until completely covered. Lightly fry, grill or griddle to seal the meat, then place in the oven. When cooked, cut off the ends and cut the rest of the breast into four round, slices.

Perfect Presentation

§ Get creative with a peeler to produce vegetable shavings that can be fried to give crunchy, colourful toppings to your dishes. Use carrots for bright oranges and cabbage for luscious greens complementing an array of dishes.

§ Food looks most effective when it is built up on the plate – think 3D when it comes to presentation! Part boil new potatoes then gently fry. Place in the middle of a plate and use as a stand to put the chicken on. Then add your crunchy toppings for extra height.
A really interesting way of giving an extra visual dimension to the plate is creating an ‘essence’; blend brightly coloured fruit or vegetables and boil down into a syrup – then drizzle it around the plate for stunning and professional finish.

§ For finishing touches decorate the top of your table using banana leaves or pin chillies to the hem of your tablecloth. Another tip is to heat up spices in warm water to give your room a wonderful aroma.

Tony has prepared some easy to use video tutorials to give you step-by-step instructions for all of his dinner party ideas. Available at www.cannoncooking.co.uk, these tips will help you look like a true professional when throwing your own dinner party. What’s more, Tony’s exclusive recipe cards, available on the website, are in-depth enough for you to share with your friends, or pass off as your own!

Cannon – The art of cooking

NATIONAL PRIZE VEGETABLES STAR AT THE DORSET COUNTY SHOW
The National Vegetable Society will be holding its annual Championships at The Dorset County Show this year (5-6 September ).
Prize winning vegetable entries represent years of vegetable growing experience and months of work to reach show standard. Not surprisingly, competition is friendly but fierce for the top vegetable awards, including the Banksian Medal, the Silver Medal and the highly coveted NVS Silver Salver which is awarded to the best exhibit in show.

The Championships are the highlight of this year’s Dorset County Show. The National Vegetable Society is the undisputed expert and promoter of vegetable growing and eating – from the oldest vegetable varieties such as the cucumber which dates back to 200BC, to the newest such as Morning Star and Evening Star celery. The Society’s aim is raise the standard for vegetables at all levels, from shows in the local village hall to internationally renowned exhibitions such as the Chelsea Flower Show.

Visitors to the Dorset County Show will be able to see the stunning display of prize winning vegetables in the Society’s marquee and to learn more about growing their own. Vegetable experts from the Society will be on hand to answer questions about growing vegetables, including selecting the best varieties and troubleshooting pests.

Did you know? Top tips from John Trim, National Vegetable Society:
If you’re getting ready for a dinner party, you can prep your veg in the morning, put them in iced water and they’ll stay fresh all day.
Potatoes have more vitamin C than oranges but it’s under the skin so don’t peel your spuds or the goodness is lost. Scrub with a brush and cook them in their skins.
Hate the smell of cauliflower cooking? Two bay leaves in the steamer act as an instant air freshener
Steam, don’t boil your vegetables as most of the nutrients will be thrown away with the water.
Cooked carrots are more nutritious than raw as more trace vitamins are released by cooking.
Sprouts on the stalk will stay fresher than those purchased loose.
Sprouts get a bad name but early varieties like ‘Cascade’ or ‘or ‘Oliver’ have a delicious flavour, unlike anything you can buy at the supermarket.
Perpetual Spinach can be cropped all year round and has a much milder taste than other spinaches. It’s actually a member of the beet family.
The Dorset County Show takes place at the Dorchester Showground on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September. Ticket prices for adults are £10 in advance and all kids from 5-16 go free. Further information available at www.dorsetcountyshow.co.uk or call the ticket line on 01749 814088

KELLY HOPPEN TEAMS WITH HOTPOINT TO LAUNCH HOT STYLE
Simple styling tips for your home
Interior designer Kelly Hoppen, MBE, has teamed with the UK’s number one appliance brand Hotpoint, to launch a campaign to give you confidence when it comes to interior design in your home, starting with the kitchen.
Hotpoint’s research has found that as a nation we aren’t very confident in our own interior design skills – but we wish that our homes could be more stylish.
Kelly says ‘My kitchen is the heart of my home – my dining room is virtually redundant now as I entertain all of my friends and family in my kitchen. I want to show that creating a lovely, stylish kitchen needn’t be daunting, or expensive. That’s why I’ve teamed up with Hotpoint, to help create some Hot Style in kitchens throughout the UK!’

Hotpoint’s research has found that:
37% of people questioned lack confidence when it comes to interior design
36.7% of people like their home but don’t feel it’s stylish enough
The dining room has become the most redundant room in the house, with only 5% people saying they spend time in theirs
The kitchen is becoming the new heart of the home with over 25% saying they spend most time in theirs
12.6% of people are so embarrassed by the condition of their home that they don’t invite people in
26.5% of people say that the economic climate has prevented them from making the improvements their home needs with over 15% not moving because of the downturn
Interior design needn’t cost a fortune; Kelly has teamed up with Hotpoint to give you some simple and inexpensive interior ideas. Here are Kelly’s top tips to help make the kitchen the stylish hub of your home:

Kelly’s Tips For Hot Style in your kitchen

Wonderful walls
Use your walls to create surprises - build excitement with over-scaled images or unexpected accent colours. Something lots of people forget is to hang art at the right height – people often hang their pictures too high. You should be able to look at a painting without titling your head upwards.
Remember that whatever colour or texture is chosen for the walls, the ceiling must blend with it. If you use paint on walls, use the same colour on the woodwork and ceiling – it’s like wearing black tights and black shoes with a black dress.

De-clutter
Nowadays, the kitchen is often the main family living space, so you need to make the space accessible and ensure all the elements in it are practical. Be disciplined about not cluttering the kitchen with items you are unlikely to use; remember that you need a space that not only looks great but that is easy to maintain.

Don’t forget internal storage solutions as these will allow you to maximise your kitchen and reduce clutter and the amount of ‘dead space’. Magnet has some clever units that not only enable you to fit more in, but help to create a sense of space which can often make your kitchen look considerably larger.

Quick and easy upgrades
You don’t have to change your whole kitchen to update it. A money saving tip is save on kitchen units by only changing the doors and upgrade the whole look with a freestanding Fridge Freezer. Hotpoint’s Quadrio is great for making a statement in your kitchen and I love the unique double doors.

Secret space saver
If space is limited but you’d love all the benefits of a double oven, the Hotpoint Openspace is the one for you. I believe that kitchen products should really work for you and this oven is great - it has 20% more space than a traditional single oven, but still fits in the same space. Plus, it has four different cooking modes, one even uses an insulating divider to create two separate cooking spaces so it’s really flexible and it also looks really stylish too.

Creating a modern look
If you want to go for a really modern look without having to change your whole kitchen, then Hotpoint’s Black Gloss range of appliances is the perfect choice. This collection of sexy, stylish, products, includes fridge freezers, washing machines, dishwashers and many more to instantly update any kitchen.

Personal inspiration
My key tip in interior design is to not be afraid about thinking “outside the box”. Look around you for inspiration; for example, I often visit our local fruit and vegetable market for great table centre pieces and arrangements. Everything from polished red applies, oranges, aubergines and artichokes make great props – and you can eat them when you’re finished with them. Or try white rope in oversized brandy glasses to create impact and fill empty kitchen shelves.

Fill your kitchen with furniture that is special and unique to you and don’t be afraid of reflecting your family’s personality throughout your kitchen. This will help to build a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in your kitchen and show it off as the heart of your home.

Sleek and stylish products
Sleek and stylish products in the kitchen always impress and Hotpoint has a gorgeous range of built-in products that I love. The Hotpoint coffee maker, for example, is gorgeous and adds a great finishing touch to your kitchen – a must for coffee lovers!

Be different
Something I’m always telling my clients is to not be afraid to be “different”. Hotpoint has some really cool fridge drawers which are a great alternative to a ‘normal’ freestanding fridge freezer and give your kitchen a contemporary, stylish feel.

Lighting
As a general rule, plan for far more lighting than you think you will need. The more lighting you have, the more choices you have about creating mood within a room, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two, or an informal dinner party with friends. This can be done simply and inexpensively using freestanding lights, table lamps and, of course, candles.

FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATION LAUNCHES AT WEMBLEY STADIUM
Marcel Desailly, Rio Ferdinand,
Thierry Henry, David James, Kanu, Mikael Silvestre,
Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan
and FIFA Join New Initiative
Last Thursday, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, FIFA, Gary Lineker and footballers from across the globe launched 1GOAL: Education for All, a FIFA World Cup 2010 initiative focused on ensuring that all children receive an education.

1GOAL has one purpose: to ensure that the 75 million children out of school in Africa and the world’s poorest countries get access to classrooms, teachers and the future that education provides. 1GOAL calls on football fans to sign their names at http://www.join1goal.org and tell world leaders that education beats poverty.

“I’m proud to support 1GOAL; it isn’t asking for money, it’s asking for your name, your commitment to fair play for future generations,” said Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan. “It’s about reminding world leaders to play by the rules and keep their promises to children of the developing world. I think that’s worth signing up for.”

Players from all over the world are joining the effort including Rio Ferdinand, Thierry Henry, Robinho, Michael Essien, Aaron Mokoena (captain of the South Africa team), Kanu (captain of the Nigerian team), Nicolas Anelka, Michel Silvestre, David James, Kolo Toure, Javier Zanetti, Ivan Cordoba, Michael Owen and Mia Hamm (captain of the 1999 American women’s World Cup champion team). Retired champions also joining 1GOAL include Marcel Desailly, George Weah and Roger Milla. Today’s event was hosted by England football legend Gary Lineker.

“Global football stars, the football world and its governing body, FIFA, are behind 1GOAL,” said Federico Addiechi of FIFA. “At this World Cup, we’re asking fans to sign up to give 75 million children a chance in life. FIFA is pleased to do our part in helping every child to get into a classroom and grow up to be a doctor, teacher, parent or maybe even a football player.

“The World Cup 2010 can be more than a great tournament,” Addiechi continued. “This World Cup can leave a lasting legacy for African schoolchildren. FIFA is asking football fans around the globe to sign up to 1GOAL and give all kids the education they deserve.”

Leading players also strongly support education for the world’s poorest children. “I believe every child has the right to an education and that’s why I’m supporting 1 Goal and asking football fans around the world to join today,” said Rio Ferdinand.

“I am firmly backing 1GOAL in their effort to make sure every child receives an education,” said David James. “I have travelled to Malawi and I have seen the power of kids in schools. When people get an education, they can start to provide for themselves and their families.”

England football legend Gary Lineker said, “We know that education beats poverty. 1GOAL is bringing together fans around the world to demand education for all. This World Cup is a moment for us to shine.”

In addition to FIFA’s support, Bob Geldof, Bono, Kevin Spacey, Kelly Rowland and organizations Global Campaign for Education, Comic Relief and the One Campaign have promised their commitment.

AMERICA’S EMERALD CITY NAMED GREENEST

Seattle, America’s emerald city, has been named the greenest and most sustainable city in the whole of the US.

It beat 655 other cities to top the survey carried out by leading environmental group, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Seattle was praised for its commitment to environmental issues with the NRDC citing that 90 per cent of the city’s power is generated from hydroelectric plants, which helps to keep air quality high.

It also highlighted that in 2005, Mayor Greg Nickels launched the US Conference of Mayors Climate Agreement to encourage US cities to meet the goals of the Kyoto Protocol, since its inception over 900 American cities have signed on.

During the survey destinations were judged on numerous factors including air quality, green buildings and space, energy production and conservation, recycling, transportation and water quality.

Seattle is at the forefront of minimising its carbon footprint and has created two global warming initiatives, Seattle Climate Action Now and Seattle Climate Partnership which have included schemes to reduce car use and improve energy efficiency in the home.

After Seattle the 14 top ranking cities in the NRDC study were San Francisco, Portland, Oakland, San Jose, Austin, Sacramento, Boston, Denver, Chicago, San Diego, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Columbus.

Seattle and Washington State is no stranger to awards, earlier this year the State was named the best cycle friendly state in the whole of the US by the League of American Bicyclists and Seattle was crowned ‘City of the Year’ by leading US publication, Fast Company.

Located in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is just a nine hour flight from the UK. The iconic Space Needle, Pike Place Market and Experience Music Project are just a few reasons to visit this relaxed city that is surrounded by water and snow-capped mountains.

Washington State is the second largest wine producing state and has the only temperate rainforest in the US as well as an active volcano and numerous national parks.

UK COMPLEMENTARY HEALTHCARE REGULATOR OPENS REGISTER TO REFLEXOLOGISTS
The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) opens its register to reflexology practitioners which means that members of the public will be able to choose their registered reflexologist in the knowledge that they meet national standards of conduct and competence.

Launched with government backing through the Department of Health who recently said, ”if patients choose to use complementary or alternative therapy, the Government’s advice is to choose a practitioner registered with a reputable voluntary registration body such as the CNHC”, the register opened in January 2009. Members of the public who use complementary healthcare will for the first time be able to verify that their reflexologist is registered with the first UK wide regulator.

The voluntary register will open over the course of this year to a wide range of complementary and natural healthcare practitioners. Reflexology is the fourth discipline for which the register has opened this year, joining massage therapy, nutritional therapy and aromatherapy.

By registering with the CNHC, reflexology practitioners will be seen as meeting the ‘gold standard’ within their field and will be entitled to display the quality mark which is given to practitioners upon registration.

Maggie Dunn, CEO of the CNHC explained: “We are delighted that CNHC is today opening its register to reflexology practitioners. Members of the public who use or are interested in using reflexology will be able to check whether the practitioner they’re seeing is registered with the CNHC.”

Continues Maggie, “Public safety is paramount and it is vital that practitioners meet the CNHC minimum standards of qualification and/or experience and in addition, they are signed up to a rigorous code of conduct. Not only will people looking for a reflexologist have peace of mind but practitioners too will benefit through increased public confidence”

Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hands using a variety of hand techniques. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands. Reflexology practitioners believe that such work may bring about a physical change to the body, or improve general health.

Throughout the rest of 2009, the Register will be opened to further disciplines, as they become ready and wish to register, and include: Yoga therapy, Shiatsu, Alexander technique, Bowen technique, Cranial therapy, Naturopathy and Reiki.

BANK HOLIDAY MADNESS AT VAX - 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITIONS AT 50% RRP!
Bank Holiday weekend madness has taken hold at the UK’s leading floorcare brand Vax, as they will be offering every model in the new Anniversary Edition product range at 50% below RRP!

This limited edition collection features some of Vax’s best-loved products in a striking special edition colour scheme of modern graphite teamed with original Vax orange. Selected with models to suit every home, the collection includes upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners, carpet cleaners and a 3-in-1 multi-function cleaner. At 50% below RRP these products offer outstanding value for money, so you can celebrate too!

The very first Vax multi-function cleaner was sold in 1979, starting a revolution in home carpet cleaning. This machine was the first domestic vacuum cleaner in the world that also washed carpets and that people could easily use in their own home. 30 years later and Vax’s range has grown into a family of advanced floorcare products that includes upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners with powerful multi-cyclonic suction technology.

Leading the collection is the Mach 7 Anniversary Edition - our most innovative upright vacuum cleaner, which has a market leading 6-year guarantee. It uses multi-cyclonic suction and WindTunnelTM technology for outstanding dust pick-up. WindTunnelTM traps dust more effectively and multiple cyclones separate out the dust before it reaches the filters, so they don’t get clogged and the machine doesn’t lose suction. All Anniversary Edition vacuum cleaners have HEPA filtration, which is recommended for homes with allergy sufferers, and they have no bags to replace.

Once you’ve vacuumed your carpets, make them look and smell like new again with a Rapide Anniversary Edition carpet washer. These give fantastic deep carpet cleaning performance, unbeatable value for money and are as easy to use as a regular dry vacuum cleaner. The Rapide PowerJet Pet uses PowerJet technology to pump jets of water deep into carpet pile, while the brushes lift stains and remove embedded dirt. For our most lightweight, easy to manoeuvre carpet washer yet, try the Rapide Spring Clean. Its compact design means it’s ideal for smaller homes and apartments.

Vax customers are supported by a UK based helpline with trained Customer Service Advisors available to help 7 days a week. For further information or for stockist details visit the website at vax.co.uk or call the Vax helpline on 0844 412 8455.
