Welsh food and customs through the centuries, from 12th century Welsh nobility to 18th century gentry; from cottager, farmer, fisherman to the present day aficionado of organic cheeses, wines and waters. Written in the author's entertaining, demystifying style, this book combines authentic, proven recipes with cultural and social history. When published in 1980, it was widely and enthusiastically praised. It has now been revised, redesigned and updated with a wealth of new material.
