-Welcome to the final serving of

-Galwch Acw for the present series.

-Today, we visit

-the village of Glynarthen...

-..which is a stone's throw

-from Llangrannog.

-It's Ros's turn to cook today...

-..and here she is to tell us

-a little bit about herself.

-I'm Ros Robinson.

-I've lived here for nine years.

-I have four children -

-two boys and two girls.

-I also share the house with lots

-of cats and dogs and my husband!

-Here's one of my cats!

-I'm really fond of gardening.

-I grow lots of different vegetables.

-I grow grapes and asparagus

-in the polytunnel...

-..and I also grow

-tomatoes and cucumbers in there.

-In the garden itself,

-I grow apples, plums...

-..raspberries, strawberries

-and wild flowers.

-I like to provide a habitat

-for animals.

-I enjoy cooking...

-..which is lucky because my family

-eats a lot of food!

-She's a very good cook.

-The recipe that she's doing

-for the programme...

-..I had it last week when

-she practised for the programme.

-It's a lovely recipe.

-She's a good, family cook...

-..but she can do the bells

-and whistles when she needs to...

-..when she cooks for a dinner party.

-I have no concerns

-that people won't enjoy their meal.

-I decided to learn Welsh

-because we live in Wales...

-..and my children

-go to Welsh-medium schools.

-I want to be part of this community.

-She decided to learn Welsh and when

-she applies herself to something...

-..she doesn't do it by halves.

-I do it in the car.

-It only takes ten minutes a day...

-..and after two years,

-I can speak Welsh.

-She's been

-on two intensive Welsh courses.

-If I texted her, I had to put it

-through Google translate...

-..so that it was in Welsh.

-She wasn't allowed

-to communicate in English.

-I speak Welsh with my children...

-..especially the younger ones.

-I like speaking Welsh to Mam

-when Dad's in the room...

-..because it's funny to see

-the shocked looks he gives us.

-It's our secret language!

-Dad doesn't understand

-what we're saying.

-He knows a little bit of Welsh.

-Yes, actually,

-he does know a little bit.

-I hope this experience helps me feel

-more confident to speak Welsh...

-..because I need

-a little bit of motivation.

-It'll be great fun

-and I'll meet some new people.

-I hope I can also inspire

-other Welsh learners...

-..and show people they can do it.

-If I can do it, anyone can do it!

-Just ten minutes per day. Honest!

-Ioan Talfryn, Mr Salsa himself,

-has arrived...

-..to see what's on the menu today.

-Hello, Ros. How are you?

-Hello, Ros. How are you?

-

-Hello. Welcome.

-Here we are,

-about to take a look at your menu.

-Have you prepared an exciting menu?

-Yes - very exciting.

-Yes - very exciting.

-

-Let's see it.

-Tomato, cucumber and melon cocktail

-with crusty bread.

-Do you bake your own bread?

-Yes, of course.

-Brown bread or white bread?

-White, French bread.

-What's for the main course?

-Roast aubergine

-and puy lentil casserole...

-..with cream and balsamic vinegar.

-That's with peperonata with Perl Las

-and potato and celeriac mash.

-Is Perl Las a local cheese?

-Is Perl Las a local cheese?

-

-Yes.

-I take it it's a blue cheese.

-I take it it's a blue cheese.

-

-Yes.

-Wylys - aubergine.

-I'm happy. It contains no meat.

-I like vegetarian food.

-That's great.

-What's for dessert?

-Very nice!

-Let's go shopping.

-We need some of these.

-You call them wylys, don't you?

-I don't use the word wylys,

-but it's in the dictionary.

-Everyone says aubergine in Welsh,

-although wylys is in the dictionary.

-The same thing is true

-about bananas.

-Do you know the Welsh word

-for banana?

-No.

-No.

-

-Ffrwchnedd.

-Ffrwchnedd?

-Ffrwchnedd?

-

-Yes.

-Nobody says that word now.

-Nobody says that word now.

-

-I've never heard that word.

-You'll see ffrwchnedd

-in old, Welsh books.

-We say 'banana'

-and 'aubergine' in Welsh.

-I need two aubergines.

-That's a nice one.

-What else do you need?

-What else do you need?

-

-Onions, potatoes and celeriac.

-What's the Welsh word for celeriac?

-What's the Welsh word for celeriac?

-

-Seleriac!

-Seleriac with an S, not a C!

-Seleriac with an S, not a C!

-

-Easy!

-A cucumber and some tomatoes.

-You sound really posh

-when you say tomatoes!

-You don't use your posh accent

-when you say tomatos in Welsh!

-Tomatoes!

-You're posh!

-Tomatoes in English,

-but tomatos in Welsh.

-Tomatos.

-Tomatos.

-

-That sounded better.

-Wi'n lico tomatos -

-I like tomatoes.

-Wi'n lico tomatos.

-Wi'n lico tomatos.

-

-Brilliant.

-This is the cheese counter.

-You're after a specific cheese.

-It's a local, Welsh cheese,

-isn't it?

-Yes - a Welsh cheese

-called Pel Las.

-Look at the way

-you've written it down.

-There's an r in Perl,

-so it's not Pel Las, but Perl Las.

-Perl Las.

-Perl Las.

-

-Perfect.

-We need to hear that R.

-Pel means ball.

-Pel Las means blue ball.

-That doesn't sound too tasty!

-Perl Las.

-Perl Las.

-

-Perfect! Excellent.

-You must pronounce the R,

-unlike in English where it's silent.

-For example, the way

-you pronounce the word 'water'.

-Have a glass of water.

-You don't roll that r.

-Scottish people roll the r in water.

-Your Welsh r is very good.

-Your Welsh r is very good.

-

-Thank you.

-What's on the shopping list

-for the garage?

-I need some flour because

-I'm going to bake some bread.

-Any particular flour?

-Yes - French flour.

-Blawd Ffrengig - French flour.

-Blawd Ffreng... I can't say it!

-Ffrengig.

-Ffrangeg - the French language.

-If you're talking about French, but

-not the language, it's different.

-Siarad Ffrangeg - speak French.

-Bwyta bwyd Ffrengig -

-eat French food.

-French, as in beret - Ffrengig.

-Is this the four you want?

-Yes.

-I also need eggs.

-I also need eggs.

-Large?

-Yes - large.

-What are these?

-Ia.

-Iar - hen.

-Ieir - hens.

-You must do two things

-when you say 'ieir'.

-Push out your chin.

-Iei, then r at the end. Ieir.

-Iei, then r at the end. Ieir.

-

-Ieir.

-Perfect!

-Perfect!

-

-Welcome back to Glynarthen,

-where Ros and Ioan are raring to go.

-Ros, it's your turn to cook.

-How do you feel?

-I'm a bit nervous!

-I'm under pressure today

-because the other meals were lovely.

-I've got to do my best.

-I'm sure

-you'll get some help from Ioan.

-I'll leave you to it. Good luck.

-We're ready to start, Ros.

-What's my first job this morning?

-Your first job

-is to peel the tomatoes...

-..and deseed them.

-You really want me

-to peel the tomatoes?

-Don't you want the tomato skin?

-Don't you want the tomato skin?

-

-No, I don't want the skin.

-You're the boss.

-I'll make the pastry for the dessert

-because I need to chill it.

-How much flour will you use?

-200 grams.

-How much butter will you use?

-Half a pack. It's easy.

-What's that? Bicarb?

-Llond llwy de?

-Llwy de - teaspoon.

-Llwy ffwrdd?

-Tablespoon.

-Llond llwy de -

-a whole teaspoon of something.

-I'm going to

-grate the zest of this lemon.

-I'll use it in the pastry.

-I can smell that lemon.

-Gwynto'r lemon - smell the lemon.

-Should I use gwynto or arogli

-for 'to smell'?

-Arogli is a word you'll find

-only in a dictionary.

-In North Wales, they say 'ogla',

-which comes from arogli - to smell.

-In South Wales, we say 'gwynto'.

-If you want to praise

-someone's cooking, you say...

-..gwynt neis 'da hwn -

-this smells nice.

-I've finished.

-Do the same thing with the cucumber.

-No skin and no seeds.

-Shall I slice the cucumber?

-Shall I slice the cucumber?

-

-No, cut it into little cubes.

-SOFT PIANO MUSIC

-Are we alright for time?

-Yes. We'll prepare

-the main course next.

-Gareth!

-Not now, please. Thank you.

-Ioan, may I ask a question?

-Yes.

-I struggle with dates.

-Things like year -

-blwyddyn, blynedd, mlynedd.

-It's just a little bit difficult

-to remember.

-A year.

-I've been

-learning Russian for a year...

-..dw i wedi bod yn dysgu Rwsieg

-ers blwyddyn.

-A year - blwyddyn.

-Anything beyond a year and blwyddyn

-becomes some form of blynedd.

-It changes.

-I've been learning Polish

-for two years...

-..dw i wedi bod yn dysgu Pwyleg

-ers dwy flynedd.

-I've been learning Slovakian

-for three years...

-..dw i wedi bod yn dysgu Slofacian

-ers tair blynedd.

-You don't mutate after 'tair'.

-Blwyddyn - one year.

-Dwy flynedd - two years.

-Tair blynedd - three years.

-Pedair blynedd - four years.

-Pum mlynedd - five years.

-Pum mlynedd - five years.

-Dwy flynedd - two years.

-Tair blynedd - three years.

-..with the two Welsh learners

-who'll have lunch here today.

-I'm Jan and I live in Ciliau Aeron

-with Ray, my husband.

-I decided to learn Welsh...

-..because I want to understand what

-my friends and family are saying.

-I enjoy learning Welsh.

-It's a massive challenge.

-I like challenges.

-I'm competitive.

-I'm Bill Griffiths.

-I've lived in Aberaeron since 1974.

-I love to cook.

-I enjoy cooking breakfast

-in the morning.

-It's really important

-to speak Welsh to the local people.

-I have two grandchildren.

-I have to learn

-to speak Welsh really well...

-..because they'll speak Welsh

-fluently in the future.

-It's time to concentrate

-on the main course.

-Can you prepare the celeriac?

-Can you prepare the celeriac?

-

-Yes.

-Get rid of the skin

-and cut it into cubes.

-I have another one for you, Ioan.

-I struggle with some numbers.

-Un ar ddeg - eleven.

-Un deg un also means eleven.

-Things like seventeen.

-Five, add two, add six, add four!

-I'm not sure!

-Schoolchildren tend to learn...

-..un deg un, un deg dau, un deg tri,

-un deg pedwar, un deg pump.

-Dau ddeg un - twenty one,

-dau ddeg dau - twenty two.

-Tri deg un - thirty two.

-Tri deg dau - thirty three.

-In the olden days,

-when people counted in Welsh...

-..they did so in base 20,

-base 12 and base 15.

-We've kept

-that ancient numeral system...

-..especially in the context of time.

-Twelve o'clock

-isn't un deg dau o'r gloch.

-It's deuddeg o'r gloch.

-Twenty past the hour isn't

-dau ddeg munud wedi.

-It's ugain munud wedi.

-It's ugain munud wedi.

-

-Ugain.

-Twenty five minutes past the hour -

-pum munud ar hugain wedi.

-Five minutes on twenty past!

-Un ar ddeg - eleven.

-Deuddeg - twelve.

-Deuddeg is difficult.

-It sounds like dau ddeg - twenty.

-Dau ddeg - twenty. Deuddeg - twelve.

-Deuddeg is faster.

-Dau ddeg is slower.

-Tri ar ddeg - thirteen.

-Pedwar ar ddeg - fourteen.

-Pymtheg - fifteen.

-Un ar bymtheg - sixteen.

-One on fifteen, literally.

-Dau ar bymtheg - seventeen.

-Seventeen.

-Deunaw.

-Deunaw.

-

-Deunaw?

-What's naw?

-What's naw?

-

-Naw is nine.

-Deunaw is...?

-You've lost me.

-You've lost me.

-

-Deunaw - dau naw.

-No way! You couldn't make it up!

-So what's deunaw?

-So what's deunaw?

-

-It's eighteen. Un deg wyth.

-Then, we go back to the fifteens.

-Pedwar ar bymtheg.

-Hang on! Nineteen.

-Hang on! Nineteen.

-

-Yes.

-Seriously?

-I'll say the numbers in Welsh

-and you say them in English.

-Pymtheg.

-Pymtheg.

-

-Fifteen.

-Pedwar ar ddeg.

-Pedwar ar ddeg.

-

-Fourteen.

-Pedwar ar bymtheg.

-Pedwar ar bymtheg.

-

-Is that fourteen?

-Pedwar ar bymtheg.

-Pedwar ar bymtheg.

-Thirty five - pymtheg ar hugain.

-Help!

-Dau ar bymtheg ar hugain.

-Dau ar bymtheg ar hugain.

-

-Seventeen and twenty. Thirty seven.

-My maths isn't good enough!

-Gareth! If you please!

-Not now.

-Thank you very much.

-Are we on schedule, Ros?

-I've nearly finished the celeriac.

-I've nearly finished the celeriac.

-

-I'll cook the onions.

-Once that's done,

-we'll cook the peppers.

-That's the next job.

-Meanwhile, in Llangrannog,

-I met Bill and Jan.

-They weren't surfing.

-They were in the local pub

-discussing today's menu.

-Bill and Jan, here we are

-by the sea in Llangrannog.

-and one for you, Bill.

-What's the starter?

-Let's take a look

-at the main course.

-It's vegetarian,

-which will please Ioan.

-What do you think, Jan?

-It's a nice menu.

-I didn't think

-Ros would cook without meat or fish.

-Me neither.

-Me neither.

-

-It sounds lovely.

-Bill, there's no meat or fish

-on the menu.

-What do you make of it?

-It looks very interesting.

-Roast aubergine...

-..and puy lentils

-with balsamic vinegar and cream...

-..peperonata with Perl Las cheese...

-..served with

-celeriac and potato mash.

-What's for dessert?

-Raspberry meringue tart and cream.

-I look forward to that.

-use the website and the app...

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-Ioan helped me.

-To be honest, he made the starter!

-It's cucumber, tomato and melon

-in a vinaigrette dressing...

-..with some mint on top.

-The bread is fresh.

-I made it this morning.

-Help yourselves.

-Thank you very much.

-The bread is really lovely.

-You not only cooked the food,

-you also cooked up some sunshine.

-The mint in this dish

-gives it a really fresh taste.

-You're welcome!

-Did the tomatoes and the cucumber

-come from your garden?

-No, we bought them in the farm shop.

-They're organic.

-I do grow tomatoes and cucumbers but

-the children go out to the garden...

-..and they eat them like fruit.

-I have a big crop of cucumbers

-in my greenhouse.

-It's made me want to go home

-and prepare this dish.

-You'll make a salad.

-The starter was really lovely.

-It was really light...

-..and very tasty.

-The starter was really lovely.

-I'll go home

-and use cucumbers in my cooking.

-The main course

-comes in three parts.

-Potato and celeriac mash...

-and yellow peppers and Perl Las.

-Perl Las is a Welsh cheese.

-We visited them twice a year.

-This is really tasty.

-I'd like to hear more

-about this building business.

-Yes.

-I'm interested

-in being more energy efficient.

-I want to build a house

-using... what's the word for straw?

-Gwair?

-Gwair?

-

-Gwellt.

-In the near future?

-In the near future?

-

-Yes - next year, hopefully.

-Gwellt?

-Isn't that the word for hair?

-No - that's gwallt.

-Gwellt - hay.

-Gwallt - hair.

-Torri gwallt - cut your hair.

-Torri gwellt - cut the hay.

-Thatched roof house - ty to gwellt.

-Ty to gwellt.

-That was really nice. Thank you.

-I enjoyed the main course.

-I like vegetables, and there were

-plenty of them on that plate.

-There was no meat or fish on there

-but it was really tasty.

-I like vegetarian food.

-That was really special.

-Dessert - my favourite course.

-It's a meringue and raspberry tart,

-served with cream.

-Enjoy.

-Did you say

-this was your favourite dessert...

-..or that dessert

-is your favourite course?

-Dessert is my favourite course.

-Wonderful! That was really nice.

-I enjoyed the fresh fruit.

-The raspberries were really tasty.

-I liked the pastry.

-It was crisp and you had

-the sharpness of the lemon.

-Let's finish this meal

-with a question.

-A very simple question.

-Bill, what's your favourite

-Welsh word and why?

-Cariad - love.

-I've noticed something.

-You greet Jan and Ros

-with the same sentence.

-Sut wyt ti, cariad?

-How are you, love?

-It's a nice greeting.

-It's a nice greeting.

-

-Yes.

-Ros, what's your

-favourite Welsh word and why?

-Sylweddoli - realize.

-I like it because

-I like the sound of the word.

-It's onomatopoeic.

-Cariad.

-Sylweddoli.

-Jan?

-Jan?

-

-Hiraeth.

-Hiraeth doesn't translate

-into English.

-Hiraeth is a deep feeling.

-Dwfn - deep.

-I'll feel a bit of hiraeth

-for you, Bill, Ros and Ioan...

-..when this series ends.

-Thank you all.

-Thank you for a wonderful meal, Ros.

-After lunch,

-Ros told us how she was feeling.

-Ros, that was a lovely meal.

-Ros, that was a lovely meal.

-

-Thank you.

-Do you feel happier now?

-Do you feel happier now?

-

-Yes, I definitely feel happier!

-It's been a long day.

-Yes, but I enjoyed it.

-Ioan helped me in the kitchen.

-I hope I remember

-everything he taught me.

-Your Welsh is very good.

-What's your target,

-as you continue to learn Welsh?

-The target is to become fluent.

-I want to understand everything

-on Radio Cymru, not just half of it!

-Ros's Welsh is very good, Ioan...

-..but what do you suggest she does,

-as she takes the next step?

-I think Ros

-has chosen the correct path...

-..in that she's focused on fluency

-rather than on correctness.

-That's very important.

-That means you can speak Welsh

-but not correctly or perfectly.

-You can speak Welsh and you should

-keep doing what you're doing.

-Speak it quickly

-and listen a lot to Radio Cymru.

-One thing you can do

-is carry a notebook.

-When someone says 'Wes' rather than

-'Oes' for yes, write it down.

-Make a note of dialectal words.

-You should also listen to recordings

-of spoken Welsh...

-..which you can pause and play

-over and over again.

-Repeat, repeat, repeat,

-so you get the sound perfect.

-Dw i'n bwriadu

-mynd i Aberystwyth Dydd Sadwrn.

-There's a rhythm in that sentence.

-Listen to it over and over again.

-Listen to it and repeat it over and

-over again until you get the rhythm.

-Every language has a rhythm...

-..and it's vital

-to slot words into that rhythm.

-The important thing

-which you've done...

-..is to focus on speaking

-rather than grammar.

-You can sort out the grammar

-at the end of the learning process.

-The biggest thing is to speak Welsh

-and sound as natural as possible.

-Try to understand

-other Welsh speakers...

-..and sort out the grammar

-at the end.

-Unfortunately,

-we've reached the end.

-Would you do

-I now run my own restaurant

-here, in the city.

-Cooking is my life.

-I wrote a book because

-diners at Odette's asked for a book.

-They wanted recipes, so it was

-a case of supply and demand.

-They wanted a book and they

-got a book - Bryn's Kitchen.

-Rhubarb, Beetroot

-And Goat's Cheese Salad

-The first recipe

-I'll cook in the kitchen...

-..is a rhubarb, beetroot

-and goat's cheese salad.

-First, prepare and cook the rhubarb.

-I'll cook it in orange juice, thyme,

-black pepper and sugar.

-Put the rhubarb pieces

-in a roasting tin.

-Add the juice of one orange.

-Next, add some sugar,

-some black peppercorns...

-..and some thyme,

-to keep the fresh flavour.

-Stir it and make sure the sugar

-and the orange juice have combined.

-Into the 160 degree oven it goes

-for four to five minutes.

-While the rhubarb cooks,

-I'll prepare these beetroots.

-I wrapped them in foil and cooked

-them in the oven for three hours.

-Out it comes.

-I'll remove the skin.

-Straight through.

-I used golden beetroots

-rather than red ones.

-Cut them in half,

-then into quarters.

-I'll check the rhubarb.

-When you cook it slowly,

-it keeps its shape.

-I'll let it cool.

-Next, prepare the goat's cheese.

-I'm going to whip it.

-I'll do that because goat's cheese

-can be a little bit dry.

-Adding cream and creme fraiche to it

-makes the flavour lighter...

-..and it stops it being so dry.

-Double cream.

-That's plenty.

-Next, I'll add some creme fraiche.

-I'll make a dressing for the salad.

-I'll use the liquid

-which came off the rhubarb.

-This liquid is quite sharp and

-it works well instead of vinegar...

-..in a dressing.

-Add olive oil.

-Mix it well.

-We're now ready to plate up.

-When I serve this at home, I put the

-salad in the middle of the table...

-..and let everyone help themselves.

-Make sure you drizzle the dressing

-over the whole dish.

-Finally, finish the salad

-by adding a handful of rocket.

-Scatter rocket leaves

-over the whole plate of food.

-There we are. A colourful plate.

-Rhubarb, beetroot

-and goat's cheese salad.

-Rhubarb Fool

-I'm on the allotment to make

-the dessert - rhubarb fool.

-First, prepare and cook the rhubarb.

-I'll only use the red sections

-of the rhubarb.

-I'll use around half the stalk.

-I'll chop the rhubarb finely...

-..so that it cooks

-in five to ten minutes.

-I want to keep

-that fresh, rhubarb taste.

-The red part has more flavour

-than the green part.

-The more green rhubarb you use,

-the more sugar you must add.

-The rhubarb is ready,

-so I'll put it in a pan.

-Add sugar...

-..and a star anise, to give

-the rhubarb a wonderful flavour.

-Next, add a cardamom pod.

-Cardamom goes well with rhubarb.

-To cook the rhubarb,

-add some liquid.

-You can use water, but I'll use

-the juice of half an orange.

-That's plenty.

-I won't add too much liquid.

-Rhubarb releases liquid as it cooks

-and I need quite a dry mixture.

-It's ready for the heat.

-It's important to dissolve the sugar

-and bring the liquid to the boil.

-I must cook the rhubarb quickly

-to preserve its colour and flavour.

-While the rhubarb cooks,

-I'll prepare some cooked ginger.

-This ginger has been cooked

-in sugar and water...

-..which gives you a sweetness

-without losing that ginger taste.

-Chop the ginger very finely.

-Ginger can be really strong.

-You can use raw ginger

-in this recipe...

-..but it can overpower the rhubarb.

-Ginger cooked in syrup is perfect.

-The rhubarb has come to the boil,

-so I'll add the ginger.

-It goes back on the heat

-without a lid.

-I want to reduce the liquid

-to intensify the rhubarb flavour.

-The liquid has reduced

-and the rhubarb is ready.

-It's important to allow it to cool.

-Next, I'll whip some double cream.

-Add some sugar to the cream.

-I'll whip the cream

-into soft peaks.

-Don't overdo the whipping.

-It's important

-to keep the cream light...

-..because I want to

-add some yoghurt to it.

-I want to add some acidity

-to balance the sweet and the sour.

-Mix it again,

-but don't go overboard.

-The cream must hold its shape...

-..and just about

-drop off the whisk.

-That's perfect.

-I'll serve the rhubarb fool

-in glasses.

-Spoon the cream and yoghurt mixture

-onto the rhubarb.

-For the finishing touch,

-add some grated orange rind.

-There we are.
