BBC broadcaster and musician Cerys Matthews tours the world from her kitchen, mixing up recipes with the music, poetry and cultures that have inspired her over a lifetime of cooking and travelling.
Song-loving cook or food-loving musician? Either way, Cerys
Matthews has been experimenting with music and food ever since she
can remember. From foraging and chewing on knotweed to cooking
flapjacks and nettle soup as a young child, her interest in this
planet's edibles has never waned. A life of touring guaranteed
further culinary exploration- thousand-hole pancakes, amlou,
roasted artichokes, vermouth with anchovy-filled green olives,
death by chocolate, za'atar sprinkled on fresh tomatoes, hot baked
soda bread, pineapple with chilli, crispy sage leaves and vegan
haggis are just a few of the recipes Cerys shares in this book.
Her festival,The Good Life Experience, celebrates outdoor cooking.
Bill Granger, River Cottage's Gill Meller, Signe Johansen,
Thomasina Miers , Anna Jones and Petershams Nursery's Damian Clisby
are just some of the chefs invited each year to cook on flames and
charcoal.
Cerys is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller Hook Line and
Singer and children's books Tales from the Deep and Gelert. She is
vice-president for both Shelter and the Hay Festival, and recipient
of a St David Award for Culture and an MBE.
Cerys cooks daily and lives in West London.
