The Flavours of Wales: Baking Cookbook

A selection of 10 recipes celebrates one of Wales' best loved dishes--the Welsh Cake. These little cakes are peculiar to Wales; the Irish are famous for their potato cakes, the Scots with their oatcakes and the Bretons with their crepes but none make a sweet scone-like delicacy with quite the same appeal as the Welsh Cake. Recipes include the traditional recipe, using butter, fruit, and spice. It is joined by a selection of new recipes such as Lavender Welsh Cake; Hazelnut and Treacle; and even some savory recipes--how about a Welsh Cake of Caerphilly cheese and leek? Includes metric measures with a conversion chart.
