Welcome to the Raven Hall Newsletter
"In Touch"
The e-newsletter for Raven Hall Country House Hotel
FEBRUARY 2010
Hello,
Once again we're looking out at the fabulous scenery of snow covered landscape, combined with blue skies and sunshine. It's been a dramatic backdrop for the four Weddings held here during the last month. It was also lovely to welcome more families over the half-term break, along with "romantic" Valentine's couples who were greeted with champagne , strawberries and chocolates, followed by a fabulous Dinner accompanied by our guest Classical Guitarist Connor Rodgers.
We're delighted with the newly refurbished Reception and Entrance, and particularly the Bay View Lounge, which is already proving very popular; ideal for a relaxing drink, coffee, snack or to chill and enjoy the stunning views. There are still a few finishing touches to add, but it's been very satisfying to see the results.
There are still lots of offers through March and April, which appear later in this enews and I hope many of you will return soon.
Best wishes 
GENERAL MANAGER

Chef's Recipe of The Month 
Chicken Liver Tart
500g Chicken Livers - fresh only
250g Butter
100ml Port
50ml Brandy
1 Onion - finely diced
1 Bay Leaf
Fresh Thyme - small sprig
100g Redcurrant Jelly
Salt and Pepper to season
You will need a small food processor for this recipe.
1. It is important to use fresh Chicken Livers in this recipe as the mix will "split" if using frozen.
2. Remove any fat and cut out any veins from the Livers and refrigerate.
3. Melt the butter and allow to cool slightly.
4. Place all other ingredients in a pan and reduce by ¾.
5. Place Chicken Livers in food processor and quickly blend, add the reduction and again
blend until smooth.
6. Slowly add the melted butter.
7. Pass the mix through a sieve. Be patient as this can take a while but 7/8 of the mix should
be retained.
8. Place the mixture into a pre-baked short crust pastry base (OK from super market,
but always better homemade).
9. Bake in a medium oven for around 20 minutes or a bit longer if you prefer well-done.
10. Refrigerate Tart for for 2 hours minimum before slicing and served with chutney and salad.
