Deliciouslyorkshire Awards

Well its been some time since I last landed on here. I didnt realise it had been so long really.!!
Well Happy New Year to all who read this.

This now is old news really, I should have done this long ago.
Last summer I entered the Deliciouslyorkshire Food Awards competition in the category Best Yorkshire Breakfast.
We were delighted to be shortlisted to the final 4 and then one one morning, with a full house of guests to feed and only a days notice, the judge arrived! Talk about heart pounding. I was so relieved when everyone was fed and watered and I could breathe again. Funny thing is I do this every day. The breakfast that is, not the heart pounding!! But this one was different.
Anyway off Chris and I went to the Awards Dinner at the Pavillions in Harrogate with our friends Richard and Denise.
There was a fabulous reception of Canapes and drinks and then a meal which started with Smoked Salmon Parcels with a sea trout mousse (divine) followed by Pan fried Chicken in a cider and cream sauce with Yorkshire veg and a wonderful dessert of Chocolate and Amaretto Torte with Ice cream (wicked)
Then the Awards began covering categories for everything from Bakery, Meats, Drinks, Cheese, icecream and so it goes on.
Eventually it got to our category (much more heart pounding) as the shortlist was announced along with the judges comments. then the moment ..the winner is....Scaife Hall Farm. Totally blown away by that.

So now you will have to come along and try it for yourself!!
