Based on the book, My Week with Marilyn, this hugely entertaining film tells of how a young but confident assistant director, Colin Clark, met Marilyn Monroe while working on Laurence Olivier’s “The Prince and the Showgirl.” When
Marilyn experienced emotional difficulties during shooting, the 23-year-old came to her aid and romance developed. But one week of honesty and fun was not enough to save the doomed star from self-destruction. Many years later he wrote Starring Michelle Williams, Emma Watson, Kenneth Branagh, Dame Judi Dench, Dominic Cooper and Derek Jacobi.

Parwich pond life spawns fine dining delight.
Posted in 2012, Catering 4 Parwich, Eating Out, Posts of Note on Sunday April 1, 2012| 3 Comments »
As chance would have it, our recent photograph of frolicking frogs at the Jubilee Pond has created a minor sensation in certain circles.
To most of us, this simply looked like a picture of ordinary frogs, going about their usual spring time activities. However, the photo has also managed to catch the eye of international maverick chef Heston Blumenthal, who became famous for serving dishes such as snail porridge and bacon & egg ice cream at his Fat Duck restaurant in Berkshire.
Heston Blumenthal is fascinated by the history of food. On his TV series Heston’s Feasts, banquets with Victorian, Medieval, Tudor and Roman themes were served to celebrity guests, who dined on delights such as bone marrow rice pudding, venison with dormouse, and calves’ brain custard. Thanks to his great knowledge of food and his continual search for the unusual, Heston eventually found the photograph on this blog.
As Heston soon realised, these were no ordinary frogs. Instead, these were rare examples of Rana esculenta ssp. gustusspawnum, making them direct descendants of the edible frogs which were prized in Tudor times for their tasty frogspawn.
Heston quickly arranged a trip to Parwich, in order to collect a sample of this very special spawn. This gave him the long-awaited opportunity to develop a recipe that he had planning for several years. Naturally, the dish would be given the unique Blumenthal touch.
Back at his development kitchen in Bray, Heston started by separating the spawn into separate batches. These were then “stewed” for eight hours – at precisely 76oC – in extracts of vanilla, lychee, lime, peach and raspberry, so that each individual batch absorbed the colour and flavour of its own particular marinade.
Finally, just before serving, the spawn was “poached” at minus 196oC in liquid nitrogen, before being gently stirred into a separately prepared soft passion fruit jelly.
The resulting dish, which you can see pictured here, bears all the hallmarks of a classic Blumenthal creation, in which unusual, out of context ingredients are combined and prepared, using high tech methods, to spectacular effect.
By way of a “thank you” to the village, Heston recently invited Catering 4 Parwich’s Val Kirkham to the Fat Duck, where she was shown how to prepare the dish. This will be served at the next Parwich Lunch in the Memorial Hall. Val and Alison are expecting quite a queue, so do be sure to get there early!
UPDATE: There is, of course, no truth whatsoever in this story – but it was published on April 1st, and we have a tradition to maintain!

Parwich Lunch – Thank you
Posted in 2012, Catering 4 Parwich, Memorial hall, Posts of Note on Wednesday March 14, 2012| 2 Comments »
Parwich Lunch has now been running for 5 months and it is really becoming a significant date in the monthly village calendar. There is a good core of regulars and this week we welcomed some first timers, from the village, Ashbourne as well as London. More than 30 people sat down to a deliciously tasty and tender Lamb Hot Pot followed by a creamy Rice Pudding with plenty of skin for those that wanted it. There is always plenty of conversation, teasing and just a great atmosphere in the Hall over this lunchtime.
Why not come and join us next month on Monday April 16th; you really will be made to feel welcome, whether your 5, 50 or 100. All dietary requirements are catered for and the menu can be adjusted if you don’t like something: as long as Val knows in advance.
Finally what I’d really like to say is thank you, thank you to Val and Alison (Catering 4 Parwich) for the organisation, cooking and the creation of a really super occasion.

Tomorrow – Friday 13th January – 7.45pm
Taken from the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, this is the final adventure in the Harry Potter film series. In the much-anticipated epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.
“Sensational, satisfying, surreal … an explosive final chapter puts the magic back into the Harry Potter franchise” The Guardian. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Helen Bonham-Carter, etc, etc! This film broke all box-office records.

Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis’ beloved world The Chronicles of Narnia — via the fantastic Narnian ship, the Dawn Treader. Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, their royal friend King Caspian and a warrior mouse named Reepicheep, find themselves swallowed into a painting and onto the Dawn Treader. Their mission — on which rests the fate of Narnia itself — takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands and a river that turns to gold, to fateful confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies and to a reunion with their friend and protector, the “Great Lion” Aslan.
