Traditional Welsh recipes are characterized by what was the standard diet of the local working population – coal miners, fishermen, farmers and labourers – and the ingredients available to them. For many years, Welsh cooking was a well-kept secret, with recipes passed from generation to generation only by word of mouth. This oral tradition means that recipes often have regional variations, and have also been altered over the years to adjust to times of hardship or plenty.
After an exploration of the geography and culinary history of the region, this new book presents a section of traditional Welsh fare from the hills, valleys and fishing villages, The Best of Traditional Welsh Cooking provides an inspiring insight into the food culture, the local produce and the heart-warming food of this unspoilt region.
This beautiful new book provides a tasty sampler of the country’s cuisine, with more than 30 authentic recipes ranging from breakfasts, appetizers and light meals to substantial main courses, classic puddings and traditional baking. Discover a wealth of regional dishes from the hills, valley and fishing villages of Wales, including world-famous classics like Glamorgan Sausages and Loin of Saltmarsh Lamb, and intriguing local favourites like Bakestone Bread.
Packed with 130 inspirational pictures, as well as cook’s tips, variations and complete nutritional information, this delightful book is essential reading for everyone who would like to discover the hidden secrets of Welsh food and cooking.
