Wake up to the aroma of fresh bread wafting through your kitchen every morning! A dream? No. With your bread machine, it's a reality. Push a button or two and transform what seems like a laborious, time-consuming and skilled process into a spectacularly easy affair.

Traditional Welsh recipes are characterized by what was the standard diet of the local working population - coalminers, 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 book presents a selection of traditional Welsh fare from the hills, valleys and fishing villages.
