Blickling Hall
An exhibition of paintings by the artist Lizzie Riches has just opened at Blickling Hall in Norfolk. It features works inspired by some of the Hall’s residents over the centuries, including Lady Caroline Suffield, who inherited the stately home in the 1790’s. And there’s an added twist, because the art works form the basis for a treasure hunt. The prize is a gilded apple which has been inspired by the ‘Golden Caroline’– a variety of apple developed at Blickling in the 1820’s and named after Lady Caroline. Blickling now belongs to the National Trust and visitors are being encouraged to join in the treasure hunt. Louise Adamson went to find out more about the puzzle from the artist, Lizzie Riches, and the House Manager, Jan Brookes-Bullen.
The treasure hunt In Search of the Golden Caroline continues until 12 August 2012, and the pictures will be on show until the end of August.
I Will Give My Love An Apple is performed by Leoni Jansen and comes from her album Second Wind. -
Cook the Perfect… Pork Pie… with Paul Hollywood
Jenni Murray and Jane Garvey are regularly joined by top chefs, cooks and food writers to hear how to perfect well-loved dishes.
Cook The Perfect
Paul Hollywood is one of the country’s top master bakers, and the self-proclaimed ‘northern rough’ in the rather genteel surroundings of The Great British Bake Off, which he judges alongside cake queen Mary Berry. Described as the antidote to reality TV show hosts, he’s admired for his straightforward no-nonsense approach and his focus on the food rather than on the contestants. He’s a strong advocate of local bakeries, and wants us as a nation to become more like the French and buy fresh bread every day. He’s been credited with baking the most expensive bread in Britain – a Roquefort sourdough recipe which sold for £15 per loaf in Harrods. Paul will be showing Jenni how to cook the perfect pork pie, and explaining what he enjoys about judging The Great British Bake Off.
Paul’s pork pie recipe features in his new book How to Bake.
How to Bake by Paul Hollywood is published by Bloomsbury
