A culinary travelogue across Wales.
In Welsh Food Stories, Carwyn Graves travels across Wales to sample its rich culinary tradition and listen to stories from cooks, chiefs, and producers. Traveling across the country, Graves tastes oysters, cider, salt-marsh lamb, and more while listening to intimate stories from his hosts, including the owners of a Carmarthenshire chip shop who never forget a customer and the couple behind Angleseys world-class salt company Halen Mn. For Graves, these stories ultimately shine a light on both the ongoing environmental and social importance of local food making.
"Graves's new book, Welsh Food Stories... argues that the country has a culinary vernacular as wide and distinctive as France's or Italy's."-- "Bloomberg UK"
Carwyn Graves is author of Apple of Wales and was instrumental in establishing the national collection of Welsh varieties at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.
