Vintage Beauty Salon from

Sprotbrough attended ‘Doncaster

Showcase’ in October at

Doncaster Racecourse. This annual

Business Showcase now in its third year was

organised as a partnership between Success

Doncaster and Doncaster Chamber. The two day

event brought people together from across the

Borough and surrounding areas to promote their

business, gain inspiration from keynote speakers

and learn the latest business skills from a range of

workshops and networking opportunities on offer.

Vintage was there to demonstrate their new

permanent nail varnish treatment and other

specialised beauty treatments. Vintage beauty salon

owner Diane Powell said ―it was a great

networking event, Doncaster has so many fantastic

people running their own businesses, and it was a

privilege to be a part of this event‖.

In total 280 businesses exhibited; this figure

included 200 Success Doncaster beneficiaries. The

event played host to more than 2,500 visitors over

the two days, proving that this exhibition was the

biggest business event in Doncaster by far!

Fine Dining With Laurent Berges

Venison and Duck terrine Terrines tend to be underrated in the UK. Terrines are very flavoursome and are easy to make. They can

be prepared a couple of days before, thus giving you more time with your guests, and still provide a great

looking and tasting first or second course! Most high profile restaurants will have terrines on the menu

several times during the year. Many Michelin Starred chefs have perfected terrines to an absolute art. The

recipe below will be a perfect Christmas dish. It is a great start to making terrines. The idea of the terrine,

is that when sliced and beautifully presented on a plate, it offers great visual effects and very specific,

concentrated flavours.

Ingredients (Serves 8-10): For the forcemeat mixture:

600g best sausage meat

1 organic free range egg

1 bunch of parsley, chopped

1 handful of finely chopped lemongrass sprigs

12 juniper berries, crushed

2 garlic cloves, chopped

25ml of cherry brandy, a large spoon of goose fat

25 ml of red wine, a large spoon of organic double cream

Salt and pepper

For the game meat mixture:

500g best venison

500g best duck breast (the large fat kind)

Sunflower oil, for frying

400g best streaky bacon

Instructions: Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas Mark 3. Top of Form

Remove the rind from the bacon slices. Stretch each slice out using the back of knife. Line a ceramic

terrine dish with the bacon, carefully overlapping the slices, and leave long ends hanging over the sides to

fold over later.

In a large recipient, mix together all the ingredients for the forcemeat. Cut the venison and duck into long

strips, heat some oil over a medium heat in a frying pan and fry the two meats separately for 8-10 minutes

each until browned. Reserve aside.

Layer the forcemeat with the fried game meat (starting and ending with forcemeat), seasoning as you go.

You can either mix the duck and venison or make each layer a separate meat. The trick is to pack the

layers tightly and fill in all the gaps with forcemeat, aiming for a dense texture. When you reach the final

layer, neatly fold the bacon strips carefully over the top to seal.

Cover with the terrine lid or kitchen foil. Place the dish in a roasting pan half full of water and cook in the

oven for about 2 hours. You may need to add more boiling water several times during cooking. The

terrine is done when a skewer comes out of it piping hot.

It is essential to press down the terrine as it cools – preferably overnight. Use a dish that just fits within

the edges of the terrine and weigh it down with something heavy.

Carefully remove the terrine from the cooking dish, without breaking it. Use a very sharp knife to slice the

terrine into 1.5 cm slices. Present each slice on a large white plate. Garnish with micro salad leaves,

splashes of olive oil and balsamic vinegar vinaigrette, sweet chutney, buttered dark rye bread and warm

toasted French bread.

Notes: if you are confident with making terrines, you could add layers to the recipe above. For example, you

could add flavours and colours by creating layers with asparagus, leeks, red peppers, or even nuts. The visual result

will be outstanding!

Mineral Make-Up

Christmas time is one of those times of

the year when we require make-up more

than ever - especially those of us who

don't normally wear it. We have

Christmas parties, family get-togethers,

and generally more social occasions

within 3-4 weeks than most of us

experience for the rest of the year. So if you’re seeking a change, or you think

that your make-up range isn't complementing your skin and facial features as it

should, then why not try mineral make-up? The coverage is fantastic and it has

excellent benefits for the skin – in fact it is widely recognised by dermatologists

and cancer specialists that you are better to wear it than not, and it has a sun

protection rating of 15. As well as being luminous, flawless and healing, it is also

free from oils, waxes and preservatives, so not only would you look good and

feel good, but you would also be confident that you were benefiting your skin at

the same time. Who could ask for more??

Beyond the Standard Driving Test

Seasons greeting to you all,

A good gear change is so smooth that your passengers won’t even notice it has taken place. To achieve

this smoothness, you must select a gear that matches the engine speed and road speed, and you must use

the accelerator and clutch skilfully. Your goal is to drive as smoothly as possible all times.

Drivers often get a false perception of how smooth their driving is, because they have the steering wheel

for support. Ask your passengers for an assessment of your driving smoothness, or watch them in your

peripheral vision. If they are rocking around as you negotiate a roundabout or corner, your technique isn’t

smooth enough and needs more work.

When changing up a gear, release the accelerator and depress the clutch simultaneously, and only press

the accelerator again as your foot is releasing the clutch.

Expert timing will produce silky-smooth changes every time. When changing down a gear, you’ll increase

smoothness by matching the engine speed to the road speed with a brief blip of the accelerator.

Good gear changes re also good for your car (and wallet). They keep your clutch and gearbox in

excellent, condition for longer and save petrol. Poor gear changes and ―riding the clutch‖ causes expensive

premature wear.

Block changing-changing gear from say, third to fifth or fifth to second in one movement is an important

part of Advanced Driving.

Advanced Drivers make excellent progress by applying firm acceleration whenever it is safe and applicable.

This could often mean reaching a 60mph speed limit in, say, third gear after an overtake manoeuvre. What

is the point in changing from third to fourth and fourth to fifth just to maintain the same speed? This is an

opportunity to minimise your driving inputs (and your fuel consumption) by changing straight from third

into top gear missing out fourth gear.

Like wise on approaching a roundabout or junction, slow your speed, by using your acceleration sense or

brakes, and then select the gear for your exit. This may well mean changing straight from fifth to second.

You should always aim to make gear changes after braking and before you turn the steering wheel.

This produces a smooth, safe, progressive and economical drive, which your passengers will really

appreciate.

If you are interested in further information regarding the courses that we offer, you’ll be able to find this

information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk

or Tel: 020 8996 9600

Have a Merry Xmas and a very happy new year.

The Family Table

The month of December is upon us once again, what thoughts does it conjure up

for you?

I’m thinking that my table will soon be used as a desk for writing Christmas cards.

These wonderful cards we send to show our love for Our Saviour. I still love to

send cards with a verse from Scripture and a picture of the stable with baby Jesus,

Mary and Joseph. This lightens my heart.

Unfortunately not everyone wants to receive a Christmas card, some think it’s

just a holiday and doesn’t mean anything anymore. They don’t see the Son of

God, the Holy Child we revere. Some may not even believe in God. It may be

just a good excuse to have a party and buy presents and get together with their

families. Alas, they are missing so much. It’s good to sit around our tables,

overflowing with food and all the trimmings, enjoying ourselves, but let us help

others to see the wonder we see in Our Lord. I am grateful that I have known

Jesus all my life, as a child I felt Him around me. I have known the true wonder of

Christmas, the real spirit of Christmas. It lifts me so high to celebrate this one

Birthday, the greatest one of all, the birth of Jesus.

Let’s remember that first Christmas, the lowly birth in a stall, the crib, a manger.

The Shepherds coming to pay homage,

they were considered the lowest of the

low. Then the three Kings, the highest

echelon, following the star and bringing

their gifts to the baby born to be our

Saviour. May we all be thankful for what

we have received from our Humble

King. Through Him, anything is possible.

So let’s spread His light this Christmas

time, let’s sing the carols with gusto, love

and praise. Let’s worship around His

cradle, His Cross, His Table of

remembrance.

God Bless you all and have a Merry

Christmas

See you in the New Year

Love from Jean
