2010-07-01T12:49:07Z

The Frontline is a busy place - and though some might slow down during the summer months it's as exciting as ever at Norfolk Place and we've got some great events and plans for the coming months. Here's what's going on:

The finest food and wine

We pride ourselves on serving the best food made from the finest homegrown ingredients from the Frontline's own Norfolk farm - check out the latest menu here to see what's cooking. As always, food can be ordered in our members' club room.

And for a special treat, why not join us for a food and wine tasting evening with wine expert Malcom Gluck on thursday 15 July - all the details and the mouthwatering five-course menu can be seen here.

Weekend openings

Great debates

Our unique series of talks and panel discussions continues throughout summer: coming up are fascinating talks on Iran, US politics and the Israel/Palestine conflict, with many more to be announced soon. Keep checking Frontlineclub.com/events and subscribe to our weekly email newsletter (sign up here) to stay up to date.

And our series of fantastic film screenings continues apace too, including Sergio, which tells the story of a Brazilian United Nations diplomat killed by an explosion in Iraq.

You can catch up on any events you miss at our Forum blog and our podcast on iTunes.

Coming soon: the Liberation season

In the coming weeks the club will kick off a season of talks and film screenings centred around the themes of human rights, civil liberties and protest. Watch this space...

Food for thought

Frontline restaurant has been created to showcase our fresh produce and meats from our own Ellingham farm. Our aim is to achieve Self-Sufficiency, we strive to prove our point that we can still create a competitive business in a tough market and still retain our integrity in our beliefs on ethical and intelligent eating. We never claim to be perfect but we try and do our best to do our part on reducing our environmental impact on our own microcosm by keeping it simple and seasonal. Profits from our restaurant also help sustain our cause in fighting the good fight for justice, free speech and protecting the men & women who on a daily basis put their lives on the line to vehemently defend our civil liberties and freedom.

Chicken Roundabout

2009-03-02T21:39:10Z

A friend of mine lives near here and so do I, but we only realised how close we are when we started talking about the chicken roundabout.

Chicken roundabout is a unique, and special place where a colony of chickens have managed to inhabit a busy roundabout on the A143 busy main route through East Anglia to Great Yarmouth. Loved by locals and travellers alike the chickens go about their daily life seemingly oblivious to the speeding traffic all around them. There were chickens on the site for many years before the bypass and roundabout were ever planned - see the history page for more information about this.

In more recent times they have received national media attention when the council tried to have them removed resulting in local protests - see the news page about this."

Cheesecake

2009-02-20T11:59:21Z

Thought I'd start on the recipes, and will be adding them regularly so keep checking for new additions. First, one of my favourites - nice and easy, great when you're short of time and have guests coming over.

Lime cheesecake

INGREDIENTS:

200g cream cheese

200g crème fraîche

90g sugar

4 limes for juice and zest

400g cream (to be whipped)

2 gelatine leaves

10 g honey

75g butter

250g biscuits (digestives)

MAKING:

1. Beat together cream cheese, crème fraîche and sugar

2. Melt gelatine in warm lime juice

3. Whip cream

4. Add lime juice and zest into cheese mix

5. Finally, fold in whipped cream

Easy. Right? Now, the base is even simpler.

1. Melt butter

2. Crumble biscuits up

3. Mix butter, biscuits and honey together

(You can use a food processor to make this EVEN faster)

All is left to do now is put the two together and cheesecake's ready. No fuss and hassle with baking. Just leave in the fridge until it sets. Decorate with whatever your imagination gives you. I like to serve mine with orange and mint salad, as you may know from the restaurant, but possibilities are endless.

Snowdrops

2009-02-10T20:13:54Z

More and more snowdrops are appearing everywhere in the farm. Spring is not far away. I can't wait.
