FALMOUTH OYSTER FESTIVAL 2011
Chef/Patron Arty Wiliams took part in the annual Chef’s Challenge as part of the Falmouth Oyster Festival. Arty said ‘It’s a great event, draws in lots of people, well supported locally and a great night had by all!’
CELTIC COOK OFF
On Wednesday, 14 September, the inaugural Celtic Cook Off took place as part of Taste of West Cork Festival, in Skibbereen, Co. Cork. Arty was honoured to be selected to represent Cornwall’s culinary rich region; with its plethora of produce from both land and sea. Five outstanding chefs from the five Celtic territories (Scotland, Isle of Man, Ireland, Cornwall, Wales and Brittany) were selected to participate in a ‘cook off’ in front of a local audience, whilst also aiming to impress a panel of judges.
The event was a celebration of the wonderful produce that emanates from the West Cork region (each chef had to work with a pre-selected ‘bag’ of local ingredients) plus a ‘wild card’ ingredient from their own region. In addition this was a great experience for West Cork’s young aspiring chefs who assisted as commis for the day.
cornishfoodmarket.co.uk
We have had a great summer working in partnership with cornishfoodmarket.co.uk at both the Cornwall Food & Drink Festival & the Royal Cornwall Show. To mark the autumn debut of the cornishfoodmarket.co.uk newsletter Arty created a seasonal Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe. The recipe can be viewed at www.cornishfoodmarket.co.uk
WEDDINGS THROUGHOUT 2011
THE COVE would like to congratulate all the Mr & Mrs’s that celebrated their special day with us this year! We would like to wish you all much happiness for your futures together…
FISHERMANS MISSION – FISH FRIDAY
THE COVE was proud to support the Fishermans Mission charity, that provides emergency help & welfare for injured & sick fisherman and their families, with this years “Fish Friday” campaign. Head chef Arty Williams said: “We are honoured to work alongside the Fishermen’s Mission, and by supporting Fish Friday we hope that awareness around their extraordinary service is increased and that this in turn will benefit the local fishing community. In Cornwall we are fortunate enough to be surrounded by exceptional produce which allows the Cove’s menu to be based on the amazing fish that arrives on our doorstep every morning. I believe in commitment to quality, using the best locally-caught produce for our dishes.”
ANNUAL START OF SUMMER PARTY!
We kicked off the summer in our traditional Balearic style with the Start of Summer Party! The night proved to be a fantastic success; with everyone enjoying the great food, stunning location, music from DJ Mark Bishop… and numerous jugs of sangria!
…PAELLA NIGHTS…
Regardless of whether it rained or shined people thoroughly enjoyed our series of Friday Paella Nights throughout August – with an additional bonus night in September due to the glorious weather and popular demand!

MASTERCLASSES 2011
With the phenomenal success of the spring 2011 Masterclasses they are back and THE COVE has kicked off the autumn season with a series of ‘Dinner Party’ themed Masterclasses. The first one has proven to be a exceptional success; with the demonstration of such dishes as Pan Seared Scallops, Roasted Monkfish and White Chocolate Parfait!

‘COME TOGETHER EAT TOGETHER’
Arty Williams was honoured to be approached to contribute one of his favourite family recipes to the Come Together Eat Together cookbook. THE COVE is thrilled to be supporting this cause. The cookbook was created by Cornish Mutual. It aimed to promote the work of farmers and local food producers across the region and highlight the role they play in the health and wellbeing of families. The proceeds of the cookbook are also raising money for the air ambulances of the South West. The main aim was to encourage families to eat together more often and preserve traditional family recipes.
