What’s the link between digital mapping and Welsh pizza? How many cheeses do we have in Wales? And what’s the story behind a lady in a bath of milk being pulled by a tractor?

In this episode I’ll be talking to Ieu (Ieuan Harry) and Jez (Jeremy Phillips) known as the Pizza Boys from Ffwrnes pizza, Loving Welsh Food podcast friend Nerys Howel will be telling me all about our fabulous Welsh cheeses, and last but not least, John Savage (who was with us in Episode 2 talking about Caws Teifi Cheese) will be joining me to chat about the family’s Dà Mhìle distillery.

See links below including links to the Trealy From charcuterie mentioned by the Pizza Boys, and the Welsh cheeses mentioned by Nerys.

Plus I mentioned Stanley Tucci’s amazing TV series where Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci travels across Italy to discover the secrets and delights of the country’s regional cuisines. Definitely worth watching.https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0bncl3n/stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy

Hyfryd Delicious

Cwtch Hug

Bara Brith Bread & Butter pudding with Da Mhile Orange liqueur

250ml milk

300ml double cream

1 vanilla pod, halved and seeds scraped out, or 1 tsp vanilla extract

3 whole large eggs plus 1 egg yolk

3 tbsp golden caster sugar

8 slices of bara brith

50g salted butter, softened plus extra for greasing

zest 1 orange

2 tbsp demerara sugar

Lightly butter an ovenproof dish approximately 20cm x 25cm x 5cm. Slice the bara brith and butter one side of the slices and cut into triangles. Lay half of the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so that they are slightly overlapping. Sprinkle half of the orange zest and 1 tablespoon of Da Mhile orange liqueur over the bara brith. Layer the rest of the bara brith on top then sprinkle over the remaining lemon zest and Da Mhile orange liqueur.

Remove the vanilla pod from the custard then pour the custard over the pudding. Leave to soak for at least 30 mins, or longer in the fridge, if you like. Sprinkle over the demerara and bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown and puffed up.

Serve with cream or vanilla ice cream.
