Flavours of Wales: The Baking Cookbook features a selection of recipes for traditional and new Welsh baked dishes. With recipes for traditional Welsh bakes such as the iconic Bara Brith, Aberffraw Shortbread from Anglesey and a delicious glazed Apple Cake from Pembrokeshire. Baking has always been popular in Welsh homes, since the days before electric and gas ovens when one day a week would be assigned to baking. The stove would be lit and all the bread for the week would be baked, followed by scones, fruit breads and all manner of cakes as the stove slowly cooled down. These easy, versatile recipes are a delicious taste of traditional Welsh baking and now, for the first time, have been preserved in this beautiful, high-quality cookbook by Gilli Davies, with photography by Huw Jones.
