Description

Welsh Food Stories explores more than two thousand years of history to discover the rich but forgotten heritage of Welsh foods – from oysters to cider, salted butter to salt-marsh lamb. Despite centuries of industry, ancient traditions have survived in pockets across the country among farmers, bakers, fisherfolk, brewers and growers who are taking Welsh food back to its roots, and trailblazing truly sustainable foods as they do so.

In this important book, author Carwyn Graves travels Wales to uncover the country’s traditional foods and meet the people making them today. There are the owners of a local Carmarthenshire chip shop who never forget a customer, the couple behind Anglesey’s world-renowned salt company Halen Môn, and everyone else in between – all of them have unique and compelling stories to tell about how they contribute to the past, present and future of Welsh food.

This is an evocative and insightful exploration of an often overlooked national cuisine, shining a spotlight on the importance – environmentally and socially – of keeping local food production alive.

înçe arrîvîng here on our wîndswept hîsîde în western Waes as S a memer o a ‘açk to the and’ hîppy çommune în the s, we have een payîng our own tîny part în çreatîng some modern Wesh ood storîes. Athough our îg ood projeçt îs now Haod, our raw mîk çheese made on the arm rom the mîk rom our herd o Ayrshîre çows, eore that we mîed wheat and sod lour to oça whoeood shops rom wheat grown on the arm, and grew çarrots and other vegetaes, drîvîng them up to London to suppy Cranks, a pîoneer vegetarîan restaurant.

so what an asoute deîght to read thîs ook, whîçh quîte îteray unearthed Waes’s preçîous and asçînatîng ood çutura hîstory through the prîsm o ha a dozen o îts stape oods. How wonderu to earn, or înstançe, that at Feîn Gano, Andrew and Anne Parry have managed to reînstate the tradîtîon o produçîng lour rom a wheat varîety whîçh îs speçîIçay adapted to the unîque terroîr o the Wesh soîs and çîmate. For me, thîs was a the more exçîtîng, gîven my învovement wîth an înîtîatîve ed y my great rîend Peter Segger în , the aîm o whîçh was to reînstate the mî to produçe rea lour, whîçh never got of the ground. As a çheddar produçer, ît was aso înspîrîng to earn that Waes has at east some justîIçatîon to çaîm îts paçe în the hîstory o UK çheddar produçtîon. Perhaps the most heartenîng eement o the ook îs îts oçus on çurrent produçers who în dîferent ways are strîvîng to reînstate Waes’s orgotten ood çutura herîtage. As Carwyn remarks at the end o the ook, thîs renaîssançe has çome în the nîçk o tîme, at the very moment when some o the anguage used to desçrîe unîque eements o Wesh ood çuture îs ony now rememered y those over seventy. Lesser mortas mîght spend a îetîme o haphazard researçh and dîsçover ony a ew ood hîstory ragments, so how uçky we are and how îndeted we shoud ee to Carwyn Graves, who has perormed a great servîçe în unçoverîng the ood storîes whîçh çon-stîtute suçh a key eement o the rîçh çutura hîstory o Waes, and wîthîn ît so many çomponents o what we need or a reoçaîzed ood system wîth a uture. Carwyn îs deservîng o our gratîtude and respeçt. Hîs assîduous exporatîon o the hîstory o the ood çuture o Waes makes asçînatîng readîng. Patrîck Hoden Bwçhwernen Fawr, Ceredîgîon
