-Hello and welcome

-to a new series of Adre.

-In the coming weeks,

-I'll travel across Wales...

-..meeting interesting,

-famous people.

-Today, I start here, in Gwynedd.

-I'm just outside the village

-of Caeathro, Caernarfon...

-..to meet the owner of this house.

-Look what I found.

-Do you recognise

-this cheeky little boy?

-Cute!

-This person is famous

-for many different reasons.

-As you can see

-from these gold discs...

-..he's famous for his singing.

-This man is religious and he travels

-across Wales preaching every Sunday.

-This man

-is also a famous politician.

-He sings protest songs and he's

-a former president of Plaid Cymru.

-He's also a keen reader.

-Who owns this house?

-Well, none other than Dafydd Iwan.

-Here's a clip of him.

-# Don't ask your stupid questions

-# Don't give me that surprised look

-# Only a fool would ask

-# Why is snow white? #

-Dafydd,

-thank you for inviting us here.

-I don't know where to start.

-We have so much to discuss.

-Let's go right back

-to your childhood.

-Where did you grow up?

-Where did you grow up?

-

-Brynaman, Carmarthenshire.

-It's on the border between the old

-Carmarthenshire and Glamorganshire.

-It was a coal mining village

-at the time.

-That's where I spent

-the first 12 years of my life.

-You left Brynaman and moved

-to North Wales when you were 12.

-Yes. My father was the minister

-at Gibea Chapel, Brynaman.

-He accepted a calling

-in Llanuwchllyn, near Y Bala.

-Myself and my three brothers

-moved to Llanuwchllyn.

-During that period

-you spent in Llanuwchllyn...

-..did you become aware of politics?

-Were politics and Welshness

-important to you, even as a boy?

-I recently came across an essay I'd

-written as a ten-year-old child...

-..on the subject

-What I Want To Be When I'm A Man.

-In that essay, I said I wanted to be

-a Member Of Parliament.

-The seed had been sown.

-For me, supporting Plaid Cymru...

-..is the same thing

-as supporting the Wales rugby team.

-It's as natural as that.

-My paternal grandfather...

-..Fred Jones...

-..was one of the founders of

-Plaid Cymru, so it was in my blood.

-It's interesting that your political

-beliefs crossed into your singing.

-Did you start to sing protest songs

-when you were a student?

-Yes.

-Politics, The Welsh Language Society

-and singing took over my life.

-The Welsh Language Society

-dominated my life for a decade.

-It was my reason for

-getting out of bed every morning.

-The Welsh language

-had no official status in the 1960s.

-Our aim was clear.

-The singing was part of it.

-I used my songs...

-..to outline and promote the

-Welsh Language Society's campaigns.

-I used the songs

-to get points across...

-..and to get slogans across,

-such as Paentio'r Byd Yn Wyrdd.

-That song changed the road signs

-campaign into something bigger.

-"Let's go together

-and paint the world green".

-I still sing that song,

-not because of road signs...

-..but to encourage everyone to unite

-and campaign for change.

-I didn't look at it as showbiz.

-I simply sang about the issues

-which were important to me.

-I tried to do that in a way

-which was classed as entertainment.

-My songs were sometimes fun

-and they sometimes made you laugh...

-..and they sometimes

-used sentiment and emotion...

-..to get people to think.

-People didn't always agree with me.

-But at least

-it made people discuss the issues.

-Yes, and even

-when people disagreed with me...

-..they were

-at least discussing politics.

-That was the great contribution

-of The Welsh Language Society.

-Yes, there were arguments

-which tore families apart.

-There was arguing

-and there was suffering...

-..but the Welsh Language was

-centre stage of the political world.

-Nobody could sit back and say...

-.."I'm not worried

-about the Welsh Language."

-They had to say where they stood.

-You took up singing during that

-period and you're still singing.

-How many songs have you written?

-I'm not sure, but

-it's somewhere around 300 I think.

-I've forgotten most of them!

-It's difficult

-for any singer to retire.

-I've announced my retirement

-many times.

-Sorry about that!

-I've tried but I can't do it.

-While someone somewhere wants

-to hear me sing, I'll carry on.

-At the same time, I'm aware

-that you can go on for too long.

-One thing's for certain -

-there will be a final concert.

-Can I go and have a snoop

-around your home now?

-Absolutely.

-Luckily, Bethan takes care

-of the house and I just live here!

-This is what we see when we step in

-through the front door.

-It's lovely and open.

-There's lots of art on the walls,

-so I take it you're a fan of art.

-Our extensive collection

-is made up of gifts and purchases.

-We'd give the National Library

-a run for its money!

-There's an equine theme here.

-There's an equine theme here.

-

-Yes. Bethan is fond of horses.

-How long have you lived here?

-How long have you lived here?

-

-Since 1988.

-It was a huge year for me.

-I married Bethan, I had a 25 year

-celebration concert in Corwen...

-..and we moved in to this house.

-It was a little box

-when we bought it.

-We added to our little box

-as our family expanded...

-..and as our needs changed.

-It's an unusual house,

-in terms of its shape.

-Let's take a look at the kitchen.

-This is the kitchen.

-This is the kitchen.

-

-Nice.

-Its shape

-is a bit out of the ordinary.

-It's wrapped around two rooms,

-in a way.

-This black slate worktop came from

-Cwt Y Bugail, Blaenau Ffestiniog.

-This is where Bethan does her work

-and I help occasionally!

-You're a sous-chef? You do help?

-She's so good,

-who am I to interfere?

-When she's away,

-I can take care of myself.

-When the whole family comes home,

-we eat in there.

-Other than that,

-we eat in the kitchen.

-Let's take a look over there.

-The lounge.

-Yes, this is the main living space

-of this house.

-That's a relatively small TV.

-It's not like a cinema screen,

-so do you watch much TV?

-It took a long time

-for us to accept...

-..we needed something bigger

-than a portable TV.

-One of the children came home

-one Christmas and said, "Oh, Dad!"

-The colour didn't work either...

-..so we had

-a black and white portable TV!

-I think that screen is big enough.

-Is that a collection

-of family photos?

-Yes.

-Without family, we're nobody.

-Those are our children,

-our friends and our family.

-You have five children, don't you?

-You have five children, don't you?

-

-Yes.

-Three from my first marriage

-and two from this marriage.

-All five mean the world to me and

-they get on like a house on fire.

-You're a grandfather too.

-Yes - I have four grandchildren.

-We're lucky because we don't have to

-babysit them too much.

-Many grandparents

-do a lot of childcare these days.

-You pass them back pretty quickly!

-You pass them back pretty quickly!

-

-Yes, we have them in small helpings.

-Step this way.

-This is a really lovely space.

-This side of the house

-gets the sun...

-..practically from dawn 'til dusk.

-This is a lovely space

-during all four seasons.

-You can sit here,

-relax and enjoy that beautiful view.

-Oh, nice!

-The bedrooms are here, Nia.

-That's Caio's room, that's Celt's

-room and that's the master bedroom.

-This is mine and Bethan's bedroom.

-This is mine and Bethan's bedroom.

-

-It's nice.

-This was commissioned by Sain.

-It's by Catrin Williams.

-Catrin included lyrics from my songs

-in this piece...

-..which was presented to me

-as a birthday present.

-Bethan commissioned that picture

-to celebrate a different birthday.

-It's by Stephen Jones,

-a local artist.

-That's Bethan, Caio and Celt

-on Dinas Dinlle beach.

-We see the three from the back

-but it's extremely lifelike.

-It's a very special painting to us.

-That's where

-you make yourself beautiful!

-I don't have to try too hard!

-I don't have to try too hard!

-

-Well said.

-Can we take a look

-at the other side of the house?

-This is your second lounge.

-Do you escape in here

-for some peace and quiet?

-Yes, it's a room where I escape to

-watch TV or for some thinking time.

-We called it The Wood Room

-because that wall was clad in wood.

-This was the first room

-to be added to the original box.

-It's been a really useful room.

-The library?

-Yes - my library, study and office.

-You can tell from the mess that

-I spend most of my time in there!

-Bethan told me that

-she's not responsible for this room!

-After you, if I'm brave enough!

-After you, if I'm brave enough!

-

-Give it a go.

-A piano tucked away there

-and this is your library.

-This looks like a busy room.

-Well, I've always worked like this.

-It's organised chaos.

-I know where everything is,

-or so I say!

-I come here to laze around,

-write a few songs and think.

-It's good to have a room like this,

-where I can watch the birds outside.

-I enjoy the time I spend in here.

-It's good that a man can have an

-untidy cave like this in his life.

-Join me after the break...

-..when Dafydd and I will

-cross the bridge into Anglesey...

-..and entertain

-a group of people there.

-Well, Dafydd will do the singing

-and I'll sit there and watch.

-Welcome back.

-Dafydd Iwan and I have travelled to

-Benllech for a chat and a song...

-..with Bodffordd Pensioners' Club.

-Catherine,

-you're the club president.

-Tell me a bit about the club.

-I've been a member for ten years...

-..but the club was founded

-around 40 years ago.

-As Dafydd Iwan would say,

-we're still here.

-It's a warm, friendly club.

-Everyone enjoys

-coming together once a month.

-Are they a wild crew?

-Are they a wild crew?

-

-It depends where you take them!

-This is a special day.

-Dafydd Iwan is here to sing to you.

-Do you know him?

-Do you know him?

-

-Yes, through his preaching.

-His father adjudicated

-at eisteddfodau.

-# Mam made a coat for me

-From a piece of the black sky

-# In the middle of the summer #

-Try the chorus.

-# Lah-lah, lah-lah-lah.

-Lah-lah, lah-lah-lah... #

-I love doing

-this type of informal stuff...

-..especially with the elderly.

-They're about the same age as me!

-I'm thrilled to be able to do this

-up north or down south.

-# Mam made a coat for me

-From a piece of black sky

-# When it was raining #

-I remember

-back to my college years...

-..when Dafydd

-was a student in Cardiff.

-He'd come up to Bangor.

-Students were thrilled to see him.

-# I asked the robin,

-"Where did you get that red coat?" #

-He champions the Welsh language

-and it's a pleasure to be with him.

-These songs have been

-part of their lives and my life too.

-This is my way of giving back

-to the people who've supported me.

-Dafydd is an icon and Wales

-would be poorer without him.

-He's passionate about Wales.

-He's passionate about Wales.

-

-That hasn't changed.

-No, and we're proud of him.

-This is the chapel and centre

-at Caeathro.

-A group of people came together some

-years ago to renovate this chapel.

-We received grants to turn it into

-a chapel and a community centre.

-There's a garage and a shop here...

-..but this is the focal point

-of the village.

-I preach here once a year but

-I don't attend many services here...

-..because I'm usually

-away preaching.

-But I do enjoy coming here.

-As you mentioned, you're a preacher.

-Where do you do your preaching?

-Well, it all started in Waunfawr.

-The Independent Chapel had no-one

-to give a sermon one Sunday...

-..and they asked me to do it.

-I was scared...

-..but I did it.

-I had a little bit of help

-from my father.

-I didn't enjoy preaching for a while

-because I didn't feel worthy.

-Once I'd conquered those feelings

-of being unworthy...

-..I started to warm to the task.

-I found myself being called

-to various chapels in the area.

-Word soon gets around.

-As the number of ministers

-we have dwindles...

-..the demand for preachers like me

-have steadily grown.

-I even have preaching bookings

-for 2019!

-I've said that will by my final year

-as a preacher.

-I have a five-year diary

-for preaching...

-..and it ends in 2019.

-I'll retire from preaching

-when I'm 80.

-We've heard it all before, Dafydd!

-We've heard it all before, Dafydd!

-

-If I'm alive, I'll retire then.

-What three things would you rescue

-from your home if you had to flee?

-It's no surprise

-that you'd save a picture.

-It's hard to choose three items

-but this is the first one.

-It's a photo of the family

-who lived on Cilie farm.

-My great-grandfather,

-my great-grandmother...

-..and their 12 children.

-That's Fred, my grandfather.

-He was the eldest.

-The Cilie boys were famous poets.

-Yes, that's the main thing - most of

-them were some sort of poets.

-They wrote poetry

-to mark local events.

-One or two of them

-were pretty special poets.

-I won't sit here

-singing my family's praises...

-..but I'm proud of this crew.

-In order to capture a photograph

-of the members of the family only...

-..the maid who was standing there

-was deleted from the picture.

-You can almost see her shadow there.

-Yes, she's like a ghost, but she was

-deleted to make it a family photo.

-I don't see it

-as a slight on the maid.

-The second item is in another frame.

-I hope I'm not guilty of a

-little bit of name dropping here...

-..but I don't mind

-if I face that accusation.

-This reflects the fact I had the

-honour of meeting Saunders Lewis...

-..on more than one occasion.

-I first met him in 1969.

-The road signs campaign and

-the anti-investiture campaigns...

-..were raging at that time.

-I went to his house

-and he gave this to me.

-It's a print of the work

-of David Jones, the poet and artist.

-He was famous for his calligraphy...

-..and he used a combination

-of Latin, English and Welsh.

-On this photograph

-of the original work...

-..he wrote Ante Luciferum Genuite.

-On the back, he wrote a letter

-to his friend, Saunders Lewis.

-'Christmas 1958. To Saunders,

-with fond regards, from Dafydd'.

-Saunders wrote here 'And to Dafydd

-Iwan, Saunders Lewis 16th June 69.'

-Between the links with Saunders

-and David Jones...

-..this is a treasure

-I'd rescue from any fire.

-It's absolutely fine to name-drop

-the great hero, Saunders Lewis!

-Thank you very much.

-And finally?

-I'd have to rescue this little book.

-I rely on this diary.

-If you want to know where I'll be

-next week or a year from today...

-..I'll tell you

-because it's in here.

-Without this, I have no memory!

-You don't know where you've been

-or where you're going!

-Yes, but the tragic thing

-is I lose this on a regular basis!

-That's why I'm lost.

-There we are. Thank you very much.

-I'll leave you in peace

-to go and hide in your office.

-I've enjoyed your company.

-You're a national treasure.

-Thank you, Nia.

-Thank you, Nia.

-

-Dafydd Iwan!

-I've been in his bedroom!

-In this series,

-I'll be on the coast, on hills...

-..in gardens and in the kitchen.

-Welcome to Cegin Bryn Tir A Mor.

-I've reached several crossroads

-during my career.

-I've had a thousand experiences and

-I've worked with some of the best...

-..such as Marco Pierre White

-and Michel Roux Junior.

-Perfect!

-Being honoured by the Gorsedd...

-..was the boost I needed to write

-a book in Welsh, called Tir A Mor.

-And the book inspired me

-to make this cookery series.

-Mm!

-My roots are here and I discovered

-my instinct for food here.

-During this series,

-I travel across Wales...

-..to meet people who are

-passionate about food, just like me.

-I go fishing and foraging.

-I collect honey from a beehive.

-I cook a whole lamb

-at Denbigh Rugby Club...

-..and find a corner of Tonga

-in South Wales.

-A series to feed you and me.

-In this programme,

-I fish for sea bass near Aberdyfi...

-..I prepare a simple salad in my

-temporary kitchen in West Wales...

-..and in my main kitchen,

-I bake a wonderful plum tart.

-First, a tasty bird.

-This is the first recipe.

-Pheasant in breadcrumbs,

-fried egg and chips.

-Pheasant In Breadcrumbs

-With A Fried Egg

-Remove the skin.

-We only need the breast meat.

-Wrap the meat in cling film.

-Use a pan or a rolling pin.

-We need it to be the same thickness

-from one end to the other.

-The next step

-is to tip some flour on a plate.

-Add salt and pepper.

-A whole egg.

-Add salt and pepper.

-Beat it with a fork.

-Next, place the pheasant breast

-in the flour.

-Next, in the egg.

-Finally, coat the meat

-in breadcrumbs.

-The next step is to prepare

-and half cook the chips.

-I peeled these potatoes earlier.

-Cut it down the centre...

-..then into thirds.

-Dry the potatoes.

-It's important to get rid

-of the water before frying.

-Cook for four or five minutes

-at 130 degrees.

-The aim is to cook the potatoes

-but with no colour at all.

-The potatoes have had

-four or five minutes.

-They're warm and soft in the middle.

-This is the secret

-of twice cooked chips.

-Part-cook them, then chill in the

-fridge until you need them later.

-I'm ready to cook the pheasant.

-I'll cook it

-in rapeseed oil and butter.

-I'll blend the two.

-Once the butter has started to melt,

-I'll add the pheasant to the pan.

-SIZZLING

-Turn down the heat slightly.

-It's important to cook the pheasant

-relatively quickly...

-..so that the meat doesn't dry up.

-We also want

-the breadcrumb coating to be crispy.

-The chips are in the fryer and

-they'll be ready in three minutes.

-The pheasant is ready.

-It's important

-to let the meat rest...

-..before you serve it.

-Put it on kitchen paper.

-Next, the fried egg.

-Cook the egg at the last minute.

-A drop of oil in a pan.

-I don't want the pan to be too hot.

-People cook eggs

-on too high a temperature.

-Add the egg

-and gradually warm the pan.

-Add a knob of butter to the pan.

-Stack the chips on the side.

-Place the fried egg

-on top of the pheasant.

-Finally, add some capers

-to the egg...

-..to give it

-a strong, fresh flavour.

-I'll also add some anchovies...

-..and a few parsley leaves.

-All done.

-Pheasant in breadcrumbs,

-chips and a fried egg.

-The pheasant is nice and soft,

-the breadcrumb coating is crispy...

-..and one of the best combinations

-in the world - egg yolk and chips.

-Very nice.

-Perfect.

-Next, there's sea bass on the menu.

-Sea bass has grown in popularity...

-..and the best way to catch one

-is off a boat out at sea.

-Rhys Llywelyn, the fisherman...

-..invited me to try my luck

-on the Dyfi estuary.

-Bass is one of my favourite fish.

-I hope I enjoy catching them

-as much as I enjoy cooking them.

-Rhys, we're on a boat.

-Where are we and where are we going?

-Where are we and where are we going?

-

-We're leaving Aberdyfi.

-We're heading out

-to try to fish the bar.

-'Try'?

-'Try'?

-

-We'll catch fish - don't worry.

-We'll try to fish the bar...

-..the sandbank

-at the mouth of the estuary.

-You can see waves washing over it.

-The weather isn't great today

-but, with a bit of luck...

-..we'll find plenty of fish.

-Champion.

-Rhys, explain what sort of rod

-we'll use to catch bass.

-We're hoping for success,

-so we're using light tackle.

-A small rod, a small reel

-and a really thin line.

-Look behind us and you'll see waves

-breaking over the sandbank.

-That churns everything up.

-Especially small fish.

-Especially small fish.

-

-Yes, exactly.

-We try to replicate that

-by casting these out...

-..in the hope that the bass

-are waiting for them.

-Cast into the white water.

-All the way back.

-Let it settle, then flick!

-OK.

-Should you come back in

-quickly or slowly?

-Try a little bit of everything.

-Reel in slowly,

-then quicken the pace.

-Throw in a twitch now and then.

-Think like a fish!

-I think like a chef, not a fish!

-You've caught a small one.

-Reel it in.

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

-

-Have you got it?

-Yes! Ha, ha, ha!

-One bass.

-Unfortunately,

-it's too small to keep.

-It's gone back! Catch and release.

-If that one was too small, how big

-does it have to be to be kept?

-Since the 1st of September,

-the size has increased to 42cm.

-We've caught two,

-but both were too small.

-Is it big enough?

-Is it big enough?

-

-Not quite.

-Bryn, you'll eat tonight!

-Perfect!

-We won't starve!

-That's supper sorted for tonight.

-We caught one which is big enough.

-It's a pretty fish.

-It's important to put them back.

-They're too small today

-but they'll be perfect next year.

-Fishing brings a lot of money

-into the local economy.

-Time to cook.

-Do you cook whatever you catch?

-Do you cook whatever you catch?

-

-Yes, I enjoy doing that.

-I like to think that I show respect

-to the fish I catch.

-I removed the scales

-from the sea bass we caught earlier.

-I've also cleaned it.

-Next, I'll fillet it.

-Cut under the fin...

-..to the bones.

-Cut above the tail.

-Run the knife

-along the whole fillet.

-Place your hand on the top.

-You get a whole fillet.

-I'll score the skin.

-It's really fresh.

-No more than 90 minutes.

-When it starts to cook, it will bend

-because it's so fresh.

-Scoring the skin helps it

-stay on the bottom of the pan...

-..and create crispy skin.

-Next, I'll prepare the cucumber.

-Peel it, then cook it

-directly on the barbecue.

-I've never had

-barbecued cucumber before.

-There's a first time for everything.

-There's a first time for everything.

-

-Absolutely.

-Cut it in half, lengthways.

-Salt.

-On the hot section it goes.

-It starts cooking immediately.

-Next, the dressing.

-Fresh ginger.

-Grate it.

-We'll create

-a ginger and garlic oil.

-A bit of fingernails too!

-Don't tell anyone,

-or they'll all want some!

-Add some honey...

-..and some soy sauce.

-Oil.

-Is the cucumber ready?

-Is the cucumber ready?

-

-I hope so.

-We need it to be black.

-Salt on the sea bass.

-Black pepper.

-Pepper goes on the meat,

-never on the skin...

-..because pepper burns easily.

-In goes the oil.

-Add the sea bass fillet.

-Next, I'll take the cucumber

-off the heat...

-..and slice it all.

-Cook the fish 80% through

-on the skin side...

-..and turn it over

-at the last minute.

-Remove the fish from the pan

-and pour out the oil.

-Put the pan back on the heat.

-Add the cucumber and the oil

-that's bursting with flavour.

-The sea bass goes back in

-to finish cooking.

-It's ready

-and it's hot, so be careful.

-How does it taste?

-How does it taste?

-

-Wonderful.

-I like crispy skin.

-Mm! The cucumber tastes lovely.

-I must go fishing more often!

-You catch the fish

-and I'll cook it.

-Alright. Deal.

-Next, we head outdoors to prepare a

-salad with three simple ingredients.

-During this series, I'll step out

-of the kitchen, into the open air...

-..to be inspired

-by the land and the sea.

-I have a temporary home in Lleyn

-and on a farm in West Wales.

-This week, I'm on dry land...

-..to cook

-a cobnut and blue cheese salad.

-I'll use yellow endive

-rather than lettuce in this salad.

-You can also get red endive

-but I'll use the yellow variety.

-It's slightly bitter...

-..which works well with

-the saltiness of blue cheese...

-..and the sweetness of cobnuts.

-It's a perfect combination

-of three contrasting flavours.

-It works well on a plate.

-It's a perfect sharing dish

-for the middle of the table.

-I'll make a simple, quick dressing.

-Dijon mustard

-and some English mustard.

-White wine vinegar.

-Vegetable oil.

-Use twice the volume

-of oil to vinegar.

-Salt.

-Black pepper.

-Blend the ingredients.

-Make sure the lid's on.

-There we are.

-The dressing's ready.

-Next, add the blue cheese.

-It doesn't need to be cut

-into uniform pieces.

-Cut it into random shapes and sizes.

-It's important that the cheese

-is soft and at room temperature.

-Now, add the dressing.

-Finally, add the cobnuts.

-They're in season in late summer.

-You can also use hazelnuts.

-If you're walking the dog and

-you see a nut tree, gather the nuts.

-Cut them in half

-and sprinkle them onto the salad.

-For the finishing touch,

-add a little more cheese.

-That's it.

-Plum Bakewell Tart

-The final recipe

-is a plum Bakewell tart.

-First, prepare the jam.

-Cut the plum in half

-and remove the stone.

-Cut it into quarters

-and into a pan it goes.

-Add some sugar...

-..and ground ginger.

-You can use fresh ginger but ground

-ginger adds more flavour to a jam.

-I'll also add

-the juice of half a lemon.

-Let it sit for half an hour.

-The lemon juice

-will draw the liquid from the plums.

-You won't need to add water

-to this jam...

-..before you cook it.

-It's important

-to cook it on a low heat...

-..until the temperature of the jam

-reaches 107 degrees.

-Stir it every 20 minutes.

-You don't want it to burn.

-Next, roll out the pastry.

-I made this sweet shortcrust pastry

-beforehand.

-Put it in the tin.

-Work quickly.

-Push the pastry into the corners.

-Put some greaseproof paper

-on the pastry...

-..then add some baking beans.

-Chill in the fridge for 40 minutes

-before you bake it.

-While the pastry

-rests in the fridge...

-..keep an eye on that plum jam.

-It's starting to break up.

-The pastry has rested for 40 minutes

-so into a hot oven it goes.

-Bake it in at 180 degrees

-for 20 minutes.

-The next step

-is to remove the baking beans.

-Put it back in the oven

-for three or four minutes...

-..to cook the bits of pastry

-which are still a bit raw.

-As you can see,

-the pastry's cooked.

-While it's still warm,

-brush it with a beaten egg.

-The heat of the pastry

-will cook the egg...

-..and seal any holes

-which there may be in the pastry.

-I'll let the pastry cool

-which I make the frangipane.

-Put some softened butter

-in the bowl.

-Add some sugar...

-..and beat it

-until it's soft and white.

-Add three whole eggs.

-Ground almonds.

-Finally, add plain flour.

-The mixture's ready.

-Make sure the jam is cool before

-you spread it onto the pastry.

-On goes the frangipane.

-Flaked almonds.

-Bake for 40 minutes at 160 degrees.

-To give the tart a lovely sheen,

-brush it with apricot jam.

-The recipes are available on the

-website or you can write to us.

-Join me next week

-for more tasty recipes...

-..inspired by the land and sea

-of Wales.
