A COUNTY Durham hotelier has cooked up a boost for her business.
Liz Curry's Weardale business was put under pressure by the foot-and-mouth outbreak, the closure of main employer LaFarge's cement works and the loss of jobs at Weardale Steel in Wolsingham.
To counteract the problem, she served up a clever culinary idea.
Ms Curry, owner of country house hotel Horsley Hall, near Stanhope, has started running cookery courses at the hotel. They have started well and she may extend them to include craft and pampering sessions.
For details, or to join future courses, call (01388) 517239.
