Blackrock Ceramic Knives.....a sharp buy

So there I was Twittering away when Black Rock Knives tweeted about the benefits of ceramic knives over your trusty stainless steel blade.  Now being a Jack Russell I was sceptical as ever and being the proud possessor of a set of Michael Chiarello's NapaStyle Santoku knives that I could shave my coat off with I challenged their assertion.


Well low and behold two days later the postman brought a Black Rock Knife to my kennel.....what's the chances!  Now it's Jack Russell by breed inquisitive by nature so I went and grabbed the nearest yellow pepper and started slicing.....and low and behold they're probably the sharpest knife in the box!  If you're looking to julienne paper thin then one of these bad boy's is for you.


BlackRock® ceramic knives are a market leader in high quality ceramic knives, with their origins in the Far East it's amazing that these knives have been kept a secret in Europe for so long. Once the reserve of professional chefs and now available to all.
The blade is produced using the finest quality pure zirconium oxide ( also known as Zirconia), a material that is extremely hard, wear resistant and chemically inert. It is important to highlight that our pure compound comes from Japan which is considered the best available and is produced by one of the oldest manufacturers of this product in the world. 

Zirconium oxide has a hardness second only to diamond.This produces a product with an ultra-sharp blade.BlackRock blades are hand sharpened at the factory, unlike many mass produced models which are done by machine.This gives our knives a superior blade edge.

All BlackRock® ceramic knives come with a protective sheath to ensure the blade maintains it's optimum performance. The ceramic blade is stain & microbe resistant and cannot rust. It leaves no metallic taste or smell on foods and you'll also notice that fruit and vegetables stay fresher for longer when cut and do not turn brown as quickly. The BlackRock® range of ceramic knives goes from a small 3" blade through to a 7" blade at 1" intervals and we also offer a ceramic peeler.

You can't put them in the dishwasher but as they're so easy to clean that's not a problem, and for me the only disadvantage is you can't use them on their side for crushing garlic as you might crack the blade. However that's a minor moan as they're so sharp they will cleanly slice very thinly and wont need sharpened for years.  It does also reduce browning when cutting lettuce and I did notice a marked reduction in tears when I used it to slice an onion!

Pricewise they're very competitive with knives of a lesser standard of cutting ability which makes them an absolute bargain and whilst I'm not sure they'd be robust enough for a commercial kitchen, they are ideal for domestic use.  Best value for money is the three piece 5", 6" and 7" set at £59.99.  Don't just take my word for it.....

Julie Brice-

" I have been most impressed by my ceramic knife; it glides through vegetables much better than my old steel knife. (I used to use a steak knife for tomatoes!) And best of all it doesnt need sharpening. Now Ive just got to convince my husband to buy me the set!"

Tracey Howell 

"Absolutley loving my blackrock knives!! when i mentioned them to a friend she asked if it passed the tomato test? she explained how she hates knives that squish rather than cut,so i tried myself.And they certainly pass with flying colours!!Youve gotta try them!!Brilliant!"

Margaret Mary Devaney

"Amazingingly sharp!!! LUCKY TO HAVE TEN FINGER TIPS INTACT! Cooking made easy! x"

Stuart Thompson

"I bought the 4" knife to try out these knives and to see if they lived up to the claims , I have since purchased the 3 set and so have 2 of my friends as they loved mine so much". keep your fingers out the way though as they take no prisoners "

Fergus Martin - Executive Chef  was given a 7" Knife to trial for us and these are his thoughts:

"Very Sharp and good for all general veg prep apart from Aubergines as they tended to stick to the blade. Very good for lettuce as the ceramic blade reduced oxidization"

"Good for cutting small peice of meat but not as good on large pieces, very good for fish once it had been filleted"

"Cheese and dairy was very very good"

"Texture and comfort of handle was very good for long tasks"

" These knives could certainly be used in large professional enviroments although they could get abused and damaged. 
They are perfect for the domestic market and my wife loved it and now uses it all the time "

Karen Bright 

"These knives are amazing I use mine almost every day "

Easy Sticky Toffee Pudding

   

Ok if steamed puddings are good enough for The Great British Bake Off they're good enough for me, but as usual because I'm a Jack Russell I'm bringing you a quick and easy Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe that wont stress you and cause you to drop it taking it out the oven!

Indian Potato Pie

So I was watching The Great British Bake Off and thinking to myself.....that's a lot of work and hassle to make a pie, so as is Ralph's way here's a vegetarian pie recipe that's easy, relatively quick to make and is delicious hot, warm or cold so it can be made well in advance too.....


Ingredients:

• 
  
• 700g potatoes , sliced
• 400g sweet potatoes , sliced
• 1 onion , chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 garlic cloves , crushed
• 
  
• 
• 1 red chilli , finely chopped
• 1 thumb-size piece ginger , grated
• 1 tsp each ground cumin, coriander and garam masala
• pinch dried chilli flakes
• 200g frozen peas
• juice 1 lemon , plus extra wedges to serve
• 
• small bunch coriander , chopped
• 25g butter , melted
• 275g pack filo pastry
• ½ tsp poppy seeds

Method:

Put the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water, then bring to the boil. Turn down and simmer for 5 mins, add the sweet potatoes and continue to cook for 8 mins until just tender. Drain really well.



Fry the onion in the oil until soft, add the cumin seeds for 1 min, then stir in the garlic, chilli and ginger with the remaining spices. Cook for a further 2-3 mins, then turn off the heat and stir into the potatoes with the peas, lemon juice and coriander.




Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Halve the filo sheets, and use two-thirds of them, overlapping, to line a 22cm loose-bottomed cake tin with a little overhang. As you lay in each sheet, brush with melted butter and keep the rest covered with a clean tea towel. Spoon in filling and press down lightly. Cover with remaining filo, then fold up overhanging sides and scrunch up pastry near the edges.



Poke several slits in the top of the pastry and brush with more butter. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden brown. Serve either hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

The Saltaire Festival

So me Old Man is planning a weeks holiday and the old git has been phoning round the kennels to see who's crazy enough to take me in......(and me that butter wouldn't melt in me little mouth).....he's off to The Saltaire Festival in September where....his words...there's an eclectic mix of art, entertainment and music with some great food on offer.

OK so I thought I'd better take a look see. 'cause you know me I like to make me own mind up.....so here's a taster of what's on offer.

With a varied list of events 2012 is the 10th Saltaire Festival, set to be the best yet!

They love celebrating the beautiful village of Saltaire and its UNESCO World Heritage status. Over the 10 days, the village buzzes with life, energy and vibrancy and they want you to be part of it!

They are already planning lots of exciting events and happenings but there’s plenty of room for more.  they’d like to thank all their sponsors and supporters plus their existing band of volunteers without whom none of it would be possible.  They will be launching the full 2012 programme in July but in the meantime catch their updates on Facebook and Twitter.

Now music wise which is my vibe there's The Broken Hearts Club Band who I will tell you now will play a stormer of a set.

Word from 'The Leeds Music Scene' is.....  

The Broken Hearts Club Band are an amazing mixture of magic, a smidge of skiffle, cheek and some funky driving tunes that will have you tapping your feet, dancing like a loon, and you are guaranteed to have a good time

Me 'n' Mr Snuggles

If you're feeling hungry on your travels why not drop in to the Vicars Cafe Bistro right in the heart of Saltaire where they provide high quality food prepared from locally sourced and fair trade ingredients.  

Alongside their busy café we run an evening Bistro on Fridays and Saturdays. A selection of seasoned dishes (including meat, fish, and vegetarian options) are available, with a menu which changes on a monthly basis. From a table for one to a group of 24, we can cater to your needs- if you’re planning a celebratory meal out, why not choose Vicars?

Now they're having an event that's very close to the heart of my old mate Mr Snuggles ....it's The Teddy Bears Picnic.....

If you go down to the Glen today.....

Join them for a family Teddy Bears' Picnic on Shipley Glen! Bracken Hall Countryside Centre will be providing 'teddy bear' activities and there will be prizes for the best dressed teddies.

Your special tram ticket for the Shipley Glen Tram Ride with your teddy will entitle you to a free ice lolly from the Old Glen House Tea Rooms! 

Can you count the teddies in the trees on the tram ride? Prizes for those who count them all! So come along, hope for the sun and dress up those teddies! Free if walking up to the Glen......bargain!

And if you're looking for a picnic for your little Teddy Bears why not get in touch with 
Piggy's Picnics.  At Piggy’s Picnics they love their food, and picnicking with some tasty treats and a few good pals is their favourite thing to do. Not everyone is as dedicated to the art of picnic making as they are, time inspiration and inclination are often limited. They want to bring back this good old British tradition by doing it for you.

If real ale's your tipple then Ralph has just the place for you and he hopes to be visiting them in order to get his photo on the coveted Dogs in Pubs website!  It's The Shipley Pride on Friars Street in Shipley.

Real ale,good music,great people oh and did i mention real ale? That's what The Shipley Pride is all about! 

Now I can't put everything on here that's going on but check this out.....the legend that is Country music’s “King of Pain” Hank Wangford brings his trademark cocktail of misery, melody and raw emotion to the Saltaire Festival for the first time! 

Hank Wangford has been performing his special kind of 
Country music for nearly thirty years, inspiring the likes of Billy Bragg, and has helped make the genre more popular with his two groundbreaking television series, "Big Big Country" and "The A to Z of C&W".

Hank is appearing with his band The Lost Cowboys, which includes the mighty Martin Belmont (ex-Graham Parker), pedal steel guitar guru BJ Cole (played with everyone from Brian Eno to Richard Ashcroft) and drummer Roy Dodds (ex-Fairground Attraction).

"If you want originality, something that still has the bite and twang that drained out of so much Country, the sharp cutting wit and the rawness of hard Country, then there is only one man to see. His name is Hank Wangford."    New York Times

Key Sponsor of the event is Aagrah Restaurants and Event Catering who's Managing Director made the following statement.....
