OCTOBER sees the ghosts and ghouls come out to play for Halloween at the end
of the month. We seem to be embracing the modern version a la our American cousins, with the
festivities becoming more elaborate each year. There is no denying that kids love it and a stash of trick or treat bounty should help to take my mind off the clocks going back.
Tony’s food and drink column focuses on demystifying the art of cooking a good roast, with impeccable timing, as some hearty home cooking is in order now that it is feeling decidedly autumnal. See page 6.
I hope you enjoy this edition of TW Mag, and look forward to seeing you again next month.

Sometimes roasting meat can seem a daunting prospect, especially when the cut has cost a fair amount and a hungry family are gathered to enjoy the fruits of your labour. So here are some methods to help ensure success. Roasting is a great cooking method for a large, prime cut of meat and is basically cooking on a dry source of heat. Cheaper cuts will benefit more
from a wet cooking method such as braising. Always try to buy free range meat as these animals will have led more contented lives and this will show in the increased flavour and better texture of the meat.
BEEFThe best cuts of beef for roasting are rib, sirloin or fillet. My preference would be to use rib as the bone really imparts lots of flavour during the cooking process and it can later be used for stock.
When choosing your beef look for a dark red colour which indicates that it has been hung well and is mature. A thick covering of fat adds flavour and prevents drying out during cooking. Marbling is small slivers of fat running through the meat. This again adds flavour and succulence.It’s best to buy as large a joint as possible as, although this might hurt your pocket, it will give you a lovely roast dinner, plus lots of sandwiches,
cold cuts and some great stock.For 6 servings you will need to buy at least 2.5kg bone in or 1.5kg boned.Stand the meat in a shallow roasting tin and, if taken from the fridge, allow to reach room temperature before cooking. Rub with salt and pepper mixed with a little oil. You can also add some dried herbs and crushed garlic if you like.I usually start the meat off in a very hot oven for the first half hour 425F/220C/Gas7 then lower the temperature to 375F/190C/Gas5 for the remaining cooking time.
If you like your beef rare then cook for 11mins per 450g; medium 14 mins per 450g or well done 16mins per 450g. However ovens can vary dramatically so it can be more accurate to use
a meat thermometer which should be pushed into the thickest part of the joint. Rare would be 60C/140F; medium 70C/160F and well done 80C/175F.
Once you have removed the meat from the oven wrap it loosely in foil and leave for around 20 minutes to rest. The fibres in the meat tighten up during cooking and resting allows them to relax. This releases some of the meat juices to use for gravy and also results in a tender, easy to carve piece of meat.
PORKChoose a breed of pig which has been bred for flavour, for example ‘rare-breeds’ such as Tamworth, Saddleback and Gloucester Old Spot. These pigs will have been allowed to exercise naturally and have had a varied diet, this extra care in the husbandry will show in the flavour.
Pork is classed as a ‘white meat’. Pigs don’t move around as much as cattle do, so their muscles don’t have to work as hard and therefore don’t use as much oxygen. Less oxygen means less myoglobin, the red coloured molecule, and results
in a lighter coloured meat.
Pork also has less fat content than beef and so care has to be taken when cooking to make sure that it is cooked through, yet stays tender and juicy.
The best cuts of pork for roasting are leg, loin, shoulder and tenderloin. Shoulder is fattier and so produces a moister roast. Ask the butcher to score the rind, we don’t want you hurting yourself with the Stanley! Season the joint all over with salt and pepper mixed with a little oil then rub some coarse

To roast the rib, first rub with salt, pepper, olive oil and fresh or dried rosemary and thyme. Place on a shallow roasting tin and put in an oven preheated to 360F/180C/Gas4. For medium cook for 25 minutes per 500g plus 25minutes. If you like your meat rare cook for 20mins per 500g plus 20mins; for well done cook for 30mins per 500g plus 30mins.
With all these roasted joints use the juices at the bottom of the roasting tin to make lashings of delicious gravy.
As always if you would like any hints or advice about cooking then just pop in, I’ll try to help. It’s a good idea tophone first though.
and pepper mixed with a little oil then rub some coarse salt into the scores in the rind. It is the salt in the rind which gives the crackling its crackle. Crushed fennel seeds also give a delicious and interesting flavour to the meat.
Place the joint on a lightly oiled roasting tin in a very hot oven for the first half hour 425F/220C/Gas7 then lower the temperature to 320F/160C/Gas3 for 50 minutes per kilo. Remove the joint from the oven and check that the juices run clear. Wrap loosely in foil and rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. If the crackling hasn’t crackled to your expectations remove it before wrapping the joint in foil. Place the crackling under a hot grill
until it is bubbling and crisp.
VEALThe only type of veal we serve at Arthurs is rose veal which we source from Gatcombe Farm. This is high welfare veal and is known as rose veal because of its pink rather than white colour.The calves are reared in small groups in social pens with deep bedding. They have plenty of fresh air and natural light and ventilation. When they are young they live in their groups in big huts with an outdoor run, when they are older they live in open fronted straw bedded barns. The calves have plenty of room to freely move about and are fed a diet as natural as possible. The calves are given as much milk as they want, but they also get as much as they want of other feeds like straw for fibre to make sure their digestive system develops as it should.
The two cuts of veal most suitable for roasting are rib and topside. Rib is a tender tasty joint cut from above the brisket, it is also known as forerib. Topside is taken from the rear quarter of the animal and is available boned and rolled. I would tend to pot roast the topside and dry roast the rib.

NEW SEASON, new look, if you’re considering a change of style this Autumn, Strawberry Hill
Salon owner Bradley Smith, has some suggestions to help you achieve a great new look and keep your locks looking gorgeous this autumn.
MAINTAINING THE CONDITION OF YOUR HAIR THROUGH THE TEMPERATURE CHANGESIt’s really important to take great care of your hair as it acclimatises to a change in temperature and conditions. As the often temperamental British weather can mean your hair is subjected to changeable conditions thanks to sunshine (if we can squeeze a little more in with an Indian summer), wind and rain. Central heating also exacts its influence on the condition of your hair.
Here are some tips to help your get the best from your tresses this autumn:
1. Keep hair washes to a minimum; I always tell clients to avoid washing hair too much. It strips essential oils and can often leave hair dry and brittle. Ideally, if you can bare it, wash hair no more than two or three times a week.2. Treat hair once a week. To improve condition; be it brittleness, dryness or to help strengthen your hair, their are a host of treatments available what ever help is needed. Of course a luxurious treatment in salon is a lovely way to pamper yourself as well as your hair. 3. Just like you mum told you - never leave the house without drying your hair first! Catching a cold aside, wet hair + cold air = brittle and damaged tresses.
TOP LOOKS THIS AUTUMN AND HOW TO ACHIEVE THEM
1. WAVY CURLS:If you are lucky enough to be blessed with gorgeous natural curls then all you need is the right styling products to tame your tresses.
Depending on the finish you’re aiming for, many high street hair care brands offer a wide range. If
it’s a firm hold, a product such as EIMI by Wella’s super set hairspray works wonders. Alternatively, use a styling mousse specifically created for curly hair. Work in, scrunching lightly as you go.
If you’re hair is naturally straight, then worry not, because there are plenty of ways to create tousled waves. Use a curling wand or even your trusty GHDs and wind sections of hair round the wand, holding in place for a few seconds before releasing and fixing in place with a hair spray. Alternatively, on dry hair, use a sea salt spray such as EIMI by Wella’s ‘Ocean Spritz’ to spray and scrunch hair, which helps to achieve that tousled beach look we all know and love from our holidays.
2. LOW PONYTAILS:This is such a fantastic and low maintenance way to showcase a look which has been widespread on the catwalks for Autumn 2015. Designers such as Herve Ledger and Dior have crafted the perfect low ponytails in their catwalk shows, and this is the easiest look to achieve at home. It’s perfect for mums or those working to a tight schedule who simply don’t have time to spend hours on their crown!
It’s extremely easy to achieve. Those with naturally tight curls may find it difficult to pull hair back in to a low ponytail, so in that case straighten hair out first using a softening product such as ‘Whipped Cream’ by Milkshake which uses milk proteins to condition and soften hair. If it’s a messy low ponytail that you’re after, it’s important not to pay too much attention to making sure hair is perfectly smooth or styled beforehand, as the beauty of the low ponytail is often the ‘messy hair’

cut her hair, she’s about to change her life!’ The beauty is that whilst once upon a time bobs were all about the sleek and straight look, this season’s catwalks have paved the way for the new trend of sea breezy bobs which are far more fun. You may have seen television presenter Caroline Flack recently sporting this stylish look. t’s another low maintenance yet gorgeous ways to add a little something different to your bob.
Use a salt spray to achieve texture and tousles, this can be scrunched into dry hair. You can of course also use your curling wand to wind sectioned hair around and create some extra curls. Looser curls work best for bobs!
look. Simply ruffle fingers through your hair using a zig zag motion to create a little ‘mess’ and pull hair back in to the low ponytail before fixing with a hair tie. If you feel that you want a slightly more fixed messy look, then simply set hair with hair spray & wrap the band round tighter.
If you like the idea of the low ponytail but want to achieve a sleeker, smoother look, then use a product such as EIMI ‘Sculpt Force Gel’ to smooth into hair before using a trusty hairbrush to pull hair back, securing with a hair tie.
3. ‘SEA BREEZY’ BOBS:Making the decision to cut your hair short is always a big one. It’s not for everyone, but if you fancy a change then do a little research before biting the bullet and asking for the chop! Visit your salon and ask your stylist to help you look through various hair magazines to pick the bob you want to achieve. As Coco Chanel once said ‘If a woman is about to

Councillor’s Update
Cllr Clare Head [email protected]
A NEW PRIMARY school in the South Twickenham ward will open after being granted a one
year temporary dispensation. Twickenham Primary Academy based in Colne Road, applied last October for full planning permission at the Heathgate House site near Twickenham Green before subsequently withdrawing the bid. Dispensation was granted to Gems Learning Trust from Lord Nash, parliamentary Under Secretary of State for schools to open the free school temporarily.
The school opens its doors to 46 reception pupils with seven staff already working at the school, including principal Pippa Hogg Andrews. Receiving permitted development rights from the Department for Education (DfE) allows the learning trust to use the former office block as a school for a year.
Turing School which will have opened on the Teddington site in early September is in the news as the site is not large enough to accommodate an entire secondary school. Another site has been found in Whitton on the open space behind Hospital Bridge Road and is subject to planning permission and full consultation. Richmond Council will continue to press for a fairer admissions policy for Whitton and Heathfield residents. The school has committed to consulting on their proposed admission arrangements for 2017 in December this year.
Teddington and Hampton Wick residents were surprised that the Imperial College site in Udney Park Road had been sold to a developer. Originally the sports ground was thought to be considered as a school site but this is not to be allowed. Imperial College is understood to have rejected bids from groups including Harlequins FC and Teddington Athletics FC in favour of Quantum Group. The land developer of Quantum Group said the plans would provide elderly care but also a commitment to maintaining the heritage of the grounds sporting facilities. He added Quantum
will be engaging with the community regarding the scheme’s design in the coming months.
On a positive note the Borough’s A level results were very encouraging. Hampton Academy had its first ever A level results day and had plenty to celebrate with a 100% pass rate of A* to E. All the students have a place in education, employment or training for next year.
Richmond College which had 1483 entries across 37 subjects achieved a 95% pass rate with 62% of students attaining grades of C and above.
Greycourt had plenty to celebrate as 78% of all pupils received five A* to C passes including English and Maths and more than half received 10 or more passes.
Our Borough is very proud of its educational success but the double edged sword is that our school population is set to rise by 25% in nine years and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find space to build schools that will accommodate all our children.
Your South Twickenham councillors are always here to help you. Cllr Clare Head is the lead councillor on Planning, Cllr David Marlow is Cabinet Member for Adult Services and Health and Cllr Porter is on the Audit Committee, Health Scrutiny Committee and the Quality Accounts Sub-Committee. We look forward to hearing from you.
