Appetisers: Food and drink news in Yorkshire

Countryside Live, a festival of farming displays, food and drink, takes place on October 25 and 26 at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate. Among the livestock displays and craft stalls are a number of fun foodie events, including a best sausage competition and a cookery theatre. The theme of the theatre is chefs on a shoestring, and cooks attempting to rustle up treats on a budget include Andrew Pern of The Star Inn at Harome.

Leeds fine-dining institution Anthony's has received yet more national acclaim. The Restaurant Magazine's first ever Top 100 Restaurant list, which was announced last week, named Anthony's the 38th best restaurant in the UK. The Leeds restaurant chain has also announced the opening date for its Corn Exchange-housed food emporium The Piazza, which will be ready for the public on November 18.

We can hold off no longer - Christmas menus are here. One of the most enticing we've seen is from lovely Leeds restaurant Brassiere Blanc (pictured), which is quite reasonable at £25 for three courses. We like the look of the terrine of whole chicken livers with balsamic shallots, roast belly of Lincolnshire pork, buttered cabbage and green apple sauce and Christmas pudding and brandy butter.
