we were so busy last autumn that we completely forgot to crow about the fact we once
again won a bucket load of Great Taste Awards (the Oscars of
the fine food industry). As luck would have it, all our winning
recipes are perfect for warming your cockles (wherever they
may be) on a cold winter’s night.
warmers
Coq au VinSucculent whole legs of chicken, marinated
overnight in red wine, then slow-cooked in red wine and port with dry-cured back bacon and mushrooms.
Serve with creamy mashed potato, crushed butter beans mixed with a little olive oil and white wine
vinegar, and a silky, smooth French red wine.

Prison Scheme update...Back in the spring we wrote about The Big Society and Small-Minded Insurance Companies, after our insurer forced us to close a scheme we were running at the Kitchen to help rehabilitate offenders near the end of their prison sentences. We can now report a victory for common sense, as at the 11th hour our insurance company had a re-think and has allowed us to reinstate the scheme.
What’s COOKing?
Our DifferenceAt COOK we make remarkable food for yourfreezer, prepared by hand at our Kitchen in
Kent using the same ingredients andtechniques you would at home.
It means our food looks and tastes homemade (maybe even a bit better).
And on every COOK dish you’ll find thename of the chef who prepared your food.
Fingers crossed for a great British Year
2012, another big year in prospect. March will see us celebrate our 15th birthday. It’s nice to think of ourselves as awkward teenagers despite our expanding girths, receding hairlines and failing eyesight (see pic). We will, of course, try and include everyone in the teenage festivities.
We will also be celebrating all things British throughout the year. Our glasses are always half full so, despite the prevailing mood of gloom, we believe there is much for us Brits to be cheerful about: the Diamond Jubilee, the Olympics and the fact we buy stuff with pounds not euros…
We’re going to be celebrating some of our favourite Great British recipes and doing lots of other fun, foodie and frivolous stuff that we can somehow shoehorn into a Great British theme.
First up is the reinvention of our Great British Pie recipes, arriving in store in mid-January – just as cold, dark days are starting to get you down.
Happy New Year.
