-and the sun is shining.

-Teg edrych tuag adref.

-There you go - a line of poetry

-to kick off the programme.

-Teg edrych tuag adref -

-it's good to head home.

-I'm quoting poetry...

-..because I'm here

-to spend the day with a poet.

-Let's search for some clues

-inside his home.

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website...

-..and the Dal Ati app.

-This biscuit tin

-has a Brittany flag printed on it.

-This person has close ties

-with Brittany and he speaks Breton.

-He speaks several languages -

-Breton, French, Spanish...

-..Welsh and English.

-He's a linguist.

-This is his old work coat.

-Tinopolis is the name

-of a TV production company.

-This person wore it

-when he presented Wedi 7.

-The person who lives here

-plays the flute...

-..and he's also famous for rapping.

-He was a member of the bands

-Genod Droog and Y Diwygiad.

-The poet who lives here

-is extremely successful.

-There are trophies

-and bardic chairs here...

-..including this one, which he won

-at the 2016 National Eisteddfod.

-Aneirin Karadog lives here

-with Laura, his wife...

-..and their children,

-Sisial and Erwan.

-His name is Aneirin Karadog.

-He comes from Pontyberem.

-Do you fancy a cup of tea

-before you get started?

-Yes, please. Thank you.

-Thank you for the warm welcome

-to Pontyberem.

-How long have you lived here?

-How long have you lived here?

-

-Since August, 2009.

-Laura, my wife, had a job in

-Carmarthen and I worked in Llanelli.

-We were looking

-for a central location...

-..and the Gwendraeth Valley

-is between Carmarthen and Llanelli.

-We found this house

-and it was perfect.

-You have

-no family connections here...

-..but your family

-comes from Brittany and Wales.

-Yes.

-My wife's family

-comes from the Ogwen Valley...

-..and my father comes from Nelson...

-..which is in

-the western industrial valleys...

-..of Merthyr,

-Caerphilly and Pontypridd.

-My mother comes from

-Lesneven in north-west Brittany...

-..which is twinned with Carmarthen.

-Hers was a Breton-speaking,

-farming family.

-How did a man from Nelson

-meet a Breton woman, I'm not sure...

-..but it happened and here I am.

-You worked on the Wedi 7 team

-for a few years...

-..as a presenter

-and a correspondent.

-Yes, I worked on the show

-for nine and a half years.

-I started out as a researcher...

-..and I was happy to get a call from

-Angharad Mair to offer me a job.

-That was a lovely moment.

-The famous producer and presenter,

-Idris Charles, worked with us...

-..and he suggested

-I film an item down the Bay...

-..about a rapping and hip hop

-contest at the Millennium Centre.

-I did it and that was my first item.

-You speak Breton and you studied

-languages the University of Oxford.

-Yes - I grew up speaking Breton with

-my mother and Welsh with my father.

-I then studied French and Spanish

-at university.

-I'm very fortunate.

-Spanish is the only language

-I've had to learn from scratch.

-I got Breton from Mam, Welsh

-from Dad, English just naturally.

-My grandparents in Nelson

-didn't speak Welsh.

-"I've lost my corach, Grandpa."

-"What's he talking about now?"

-When my parents met, their only

-common language was French.

-My father couldn't speak Breton...

-..and my mother didn't speak

-Welsh or English at that point.

-They spent years

-speaking French to each other.

-I remember them

-speaking French to each other...

-..and not understanding

-what they were saying.

-Is Breton similar to Welsh?

-HE SPEAKS BRETON

-I'm sure you could understand

-some of those words.

-It's so sexy! It's Welsh mixed with

-a little bit of French.

-You were

-the Welsh Children's Poet Laureate.

-What did you have to do

-as a children's poet?

-It was a real honour.

-I was selected by a secret panel

-which met somewhere.

-They chose me.

-Rather than

-writing poetry for children...

-..it's about working with children

-and youngsters in schools...

-..promoting poetry and Welshness.

-Did you enjoy it?

-Yes, I loved it.

-A child's imagination

-is a special thing...

-..which isn't dated or jaded.

-Speaking of children, hello!

-Thank you, Laura.

-We're having a cup of tea

-but you're having nothing.

-I've just had one.

-Hello, Erwan.

-How old is he?

-How old is he?

-

-He'll be five months next week.

-You were pregnant

-when Aneirin won the chair.

-Yes, I was.

-You were due to give birth

-the previous day.

-Yes, but our babies

-have a tendency to be late.

-He didn't make an appearance

-for another fortnight.

-The great thing was

-you could be at the ceremony.

-Yes. There was no sign of him,

-so I was safe to go.

-I know you've had to clean

-and tidy up because I was coming.

-Is it alright

-if I have a nose around?

-Yes, of course. You're very welcome.

-The second you walk in,

-you see this house is a home.

-The children's calendar

-and their things.

-Yes - their stuff.

-What rooms can we see here?

-This is the hall, where we keep

-our muddy shoes after dog walks.

-Through there is the kitchen, which

-is small but big enough for us.

-What's that chair,

-under these things?

-I'm ashamed to say it's

-the Urdd Eisteddfod bardic chair.

-We will find it a worthy spot but

-at the moment it's under our coats!

-Where shall we start?

-Where shall we start?

-

-In the lounge.

-Hello! There's someone here

-to welcome us.

-This is Mukti.

-Mukti comes from North Wales and

-he's been with us for 18 months.

-Mukti, you're lying on the floor

-like a rug.

-This is the main room.

-That's the lounge and this is

-a living room and dining room?

-Yes - the dining table folds away.

-We had to maximise the space

-because of Laura's yoga equipment.

-She sometimes teaches her clients

-in our home.

-The yoga happens here

-and the bardic chair is over there.

-There's a lovely log burner

-in the lounge.

-The dog lives in that corner

-and we also have a cat somewhere.

-She's gone to hide from us!

-This is a lovely room

-and it opens out onto the garden.

-Let's go outside, whilst it's dry.

-We'd better fetch our coats.

-This is nice.

-There's plenty of room here

-to have parties and barbecues.

-It's south-facing,

-so we get the sun most of the day.

-It's a real sun trap.

-Tell me exactly where we are now,

-geographically.

-We're in Cwm Gwendraeth Fawr and

-Cwm Gwendraeth Fach is behind us.

-Llanelli is over the mountain

-and Carmarthen is behind us.

-Go up the valley,

-past Tumble and Cross Hands...

-..to Llandeilo and Dinefwr.

-Let's go back inside

-to see upstairs.

-Yes - it's wintry out here.

-Come in.

-Come in.

-

-Hello, Sisial. Are you OK?

-Wow! I love your bedroom.

-What colour is it?

-Pink.

-What happened

-at the Eisteddfod this year?

-I had something

-with chocolate and marshmallow.

-I can't remember what it was called.

-You had chocolate and marshmallows

-but did Dad do something special?

-The chair.

-Are you allowed to sit on it?

-Are you allowed to sit on it?

-

-Yes.

-Is the cat allowed to sit on it?

-Is the cat allowed to sit on it?

-

-No, neither is the dog or the baby.

-The cat could scratch it

-and so could the dog.

-That's right, but big girls like you

-are allowed to sit on it.

-Thank you. High five.

-Oh! Sisial is so cute.

-Alright, so this is your office.

-Your poetry room.

-Your poetry room.

-

-My man cave.

-I don't build things in here,

-other than poems perhaps.

-Excuse the camping equipment.

-We bought it last January and the

-plan was to go camping last summer.

-It got complicated

-because of the baby!

-We're going to go camping

-at the Eisteddfod in August...

-..and in places we haven't been to

-in Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire.

-I'll come back next year

-and they'll still be in their boxes.

-At least they're clean!

-At least they're clean!

-

-They'll never fit back in the boxes.

-I can see a collection of books,

-starting with Laura's yoga books.

-Yes, books about yoga

-and travel books.

-She's seen a lot of the world.

-The middle shelf is an overflow

-of my poetry books...

-..and books about composing verse.

-I also have some language books...

-..and novels

-written in other languages.

-On the wall there's a poem

-about being the Children's Poet.

-Every Children's Poet writes a poem

-which is turned into a poster...

-..which is sent out to schools.

-Dewi Pws, Eurig Salisbury

-and Twm Morys have done one...

-..and Anni Llyn will write one.

-That's my poem for the children.

-Join us after the break...

-..when we go for a walk

-along Llansteffan beach...

-..and Aneirin

-tries to teach me to compose verse.

-See you in a minute.

-Welcome back.

-We've come down to Llansteffan beach

-and it's really nice here.

-Do you often walk Mukti here?

-Do you often walk Mukti here?

-

-Yes.

-We also visit other beaches like

-Ferryside, across the water there...

-..and Cefn Sidan, Pembrey.

-Mukti keeps you fit.

-Yes, and he loves the sea.

-Something clicks in his head

-when he reaches the sea.

-He loves to run free.

-It's a great way

-to explore the area...

-..and to meet new people.

-Your links with Brittany

-are obviously important to you.

-Your parents live over there.

-Can you see yourselves

-moving there too?

-We have plans to live there

-for a school term or maybe a year...

-..at some point during the next

-five years, finances allowing.

-We want Sisial to go to a Breton

-school and be immersed in Breton...

-..and come away from the experience

-as a fluent Breton speaker.

-She understands every word...

-..but getting it from the brain

-to the tongue is the tricky part.

-Is belonging to Wales and Brittany

-important to you?

-Yes - I have a place I call home

-in Brittany.

-I'm familiar with its beaches,

-its countryside...

-..its way life,

-its food and its culture.

-Is the Breton language

-on solid ground?

-How many speakers are there?

-How many speakers are there?

-

-The damage has been done to it.

-There were around a million

-Breton speakers in the 1980s.

-They spoke Breton naturally.

-There was very little

-Breton-language media back then...

-..and very few

-Breton-language schools.

-There are now 250,000 speakers but

-efforts are being made to save it.

-It's gaining strength, as is Welsh

-in the south-east valleys.

-Where has Mukti gone?

-Mukti!

-Here he comes! Mukti!

-We lost the dog

-but we had a good walk!

-Do you think you could try

-to teach me to write poetry?

-I've never attempted to do it.

-Every Welsh person can write poetry,

-like every one of us can sing.

-You can

-learn to write poetry out of tune!

-In essence, composing poetry

-is easy to understand.

-We'll see.

-I'm sure you're a great teacher.

-First of all,

-explain cynghanedd to me.

-Cynghanedd is a very simple

-form of poetry.

-It's the concept of sound

-arrangement within one line.

-When I say accent, I don't mean

-regional variation of a language...

-..I'm talking about the place

-the stress falls within a word.

-Winning

-a National Eisteddfod chair...

-..is the pinnacle

-of any poet's life.

-In order to win it,

-you had to write an ode.

-What exactly is an ode?

-An ode is a series of poems written

-in cynghanedd, or strict meter.

-An ode is 250 lines long, with

-each line written in cynghanedd.

-That means every line sticks within

-the system of repeating consonants.

-The lines must also rhyme,

-which adds another complication.

-Let's start with our names.

-Say your name out loud, please.

-Nia.

-Cynghanedd must work to the ear

-in addition to working on paper.

-Nia, where does the accent fall

-on Nia?

-On the Ni.

-Yes. You don't say Ni-ah!

-Yes. You don't say Ni-ah!

-

-Some people do.

-Yes, in posh areas of Wales!

-I'll make it easy for you by writing

-your name at the end of the line.

-All that's left to do

-is fill the line.

-There are seven syllables in a line,

-so there are five syllables left.

-Each line

-must be seven syllables long.

-Yes, although it depends

-on the measure.

-Never mind that.

-Back to the question.

-The accent goes on Ni.

-Nia. The accent does on Ni.

-There's no accent on the a.

-The word Nia

-splits into two syllables.

-Does the accent fall on a consonant?

-Well... no,

-not in the middle of the accent.

-That's right. The accent

-doesn't fall on a consonant.

-That means we must

-balance the line...

-..with a word where

-the accent falls on a vowel.

-Can you think of a single-syllable

-word which contains no consonants?

-Awen?

-Awen and Nia

-work within a line of cynghanedd.

-I'll write down 'awen'.

-You're half way

-to writing cynghanedd.

-Hot flush!

-Forget letters at the end of words,

-so don't worry about the N in awen.

-Will we put 'yw' in there?

-Will we put 'yw' in there?

-

-Yes - put 'yw' in there.

-We're creating poetry

-in addition to cynghanedd.

-I like it. Awen - muse.

-Oh! I've just thought of something.

-Ein hawen.

-Yes - we put a H in front of awen.

-You remember your Welsh lessons!

-Ein hawen.

-As we need seven syllables,

-we'll make it more posh.

-Ydyw instead of yw.

-Ein hawen ydyw Nia.

-Seven syllables.

-Split the line in the natural place

-and analyse your cynghanedd.

-N over here.

-There are no vowels there.

-Ignore that N.

-There's an N here.

-There's a D here, which means

-we've created a cynghanedd draws.

-Yes, so we jump across a letter

-to balance out the two Ns.

-The accent pattern matches.

-You've created a line of cynghanedd.

-You've created a line of cynghanedd.

-

-Thank you. That was very exciting.

-I have huge respect for poets

-who can write cynghanedd.

-I may sign up for a class.

-You don't have to go to a class.

-You can follow the Clera podcast.

-It's a podcast which is created

-by Eurig Salisbury and I...

-..where we offer a cynghanedd lesson

-as part of each podcast.

-You can find us

-on SoundCloud and Twitter.

-Search for the Clera podcast.

-It's also on iTunes.

-A shameless plug there!

-I'll do that. Great.

-We've had a cuppa

-and a lesson in cynghanedd.

-Let's go back to the house

-for another cuppa.

-What three things

-would you rescue from a fire?

-The National Eisteddfod

-Literary Entries and Adjudications.

-I have three examples here but

-I have a vast collection of them.

-I'm a bit of an Eisteddfod geek...

-..and I'm encyclopaedic

-when it comes to who won what then.

-This is the volume produced

-for the Cardigan Eisteddfod of 1976.

-It was the year of the big fuss

-when Dic Jones won the chair...

-..but he was later disqualified and

-Alan Llwyd was awarded the chair.

-Dic's ode is included in the

-Entries and Adjudications volume...

-..as is Alan's ode,

-which is at the back.

-This is the 1917 volume,

-from the Black Chair Eisteddfod.

-Hedd Wyn won the chair that year,

-of course, with his ode Yr Arwr.

-Hedd Wyn

-went to fight in World War I.

-He won the chair but he was killed

-before he could sit in it.

-It's known as the Black Chair.

-Yes. A black cover

-was draped over the chair.

-It was a sad occasion.

-An excellent film was shot

-about Hedd Wyn's story.

-Yes. His story symbolises

-the waste of the Great War.

-This is old and substantial.

-It dates from the early days of

-the modern Eisteddfod in the 1880s.

-It's in English.

-Royal National Eisteddfod Of Cardiff

-Transactions.

-What's your second item?

-What's your second item?

-

-Barzhaz Breizh.

-It's a vast collection

-of Breton folk songs and poetry.

-The music and the lyrics

-are printed in this volume.

-It was put together

-by a man calked Kervarker.

-He learned Breton and he showed

-an interest in ordinary Bretons...

-..their traditions and their songs,

-so he recorded them.

-The song Emgann Sant Kast...

-..is about France and England

-going to battle in Brittany.

-Breton men fought for France

-and Welsh men fought for England.

-They heard each other talking

-and they decided not to fight.

-That's the story, at least.

-Many stories and fables

-are recorded in the form of songs.

-What about the final item?

-It might be a struggle

-to rescue it from the fire...

-..but I choose the chair, assuming

-my wife and children are safe.

-Where does the chair live?

-Where does the chair live?

-

-In the lounge.

-It's far away from the radiator.

-I don't want the wood to warp.

-We can sit here and look at the fire

-or look at the chair.

-It takes its place nicely.

-Do you have happy memories

-of that day or is it all a blur?

-It's pretty clear, but

-I've watched it back a few times.

-Poor Laura!

-We came home that night, had a

-Chinese and watched the ceremony.

-It was a great day and it was

-brilliant to have my family there.

-Thank you. I really enjoyed my time

-in Pontyberem with you.

-It was lovely to have you here.

-I had a lovely time

-with Aneirin and his family.

-Join me next time, when I have

-a nose around another star's house.

-The finest ingredients

-from the land and seas of Wales...

-..are the stars of this series.

-After a week in a dark, hot kitchen,

-I'm happy to get out...

-..and travel across Wales seeking

-inspiration and cooking outdoors.

-You can't beat

-fresh food and fresh air.

-Welcome to Cegin Bryn - Tir A Mor.

-In this programme, I fish with

-two great anglers in Pwllheli...

-..I cook asparagus

-in my open air kitchen...

-..and I prepare

-a very special treacle tart.

-First, I head to my kitchen

-to cook aromatic spare ribs.

-Pork Spare Ribs

-First, place three racks of pork

-spare ribs in a pan of cold water.

-It's important to use cold water.

-Add some salt to the pan...

-..plus a cinnamon stick.

-Snap the cinnamon stick in half.

-Finally, add some black pepper

-and some star anise.

-Turn up the heat...

-..and simmer for 20 minutes.

-While the ribs cook,

-I'll prepare the marinade.

-I'll mix it in a bowl.

-Honey.

-Soy sauce.

-Hoisin sauce.

-Sesame oil.

-Not too much.

-It's really strong.

-Dried chilli flakes.

-Five spice powder.

-That's enough.

-The juice of one lime.

-The marinade is ready.

-The ribs have been

-simmering in the pan for 20 minutes.

-I'll now cover the ribs

-in the marinade.

-It's important

-to chill it in the fridge overnight.

-These ribs have chilled overnight.

-I'll cook them in a 160 degree oven

-for around half an hour.

-Serve the ribs with spring onions,

-cashew nuts and a lime.

-If you could smell this,

-you'd be as happy as me.

-It looks perfect.

-Place the ribs on a board.

-There we are.

-Slow-cooked pork spare ribs.

-They're very tasty and very cheap.

-Wonderful.

-The last time I was in Pwllheli...

-..I went out in a boat

-to catch scallops out at sea.

-Today, I hope to catch fish

-off dry land...

-..with a little help

-from two local women.

-Pwllheli beach

-at 6.30 in the morning.

-I'm half-asleep

-but I hope the fish are awake.

-Two members of the Wales Ladies Fly

-Fishing Team are here to help me.

-Enid Edwards and Marian Davies.

-We've got a lot of kit here.

-What's that?

-It's a stand to hold the rod.

-So when you go fishing,

-you don't hold anything?

-No - we settle down on our chairs.

-You have chairs

-and a stand to hold your rod.

-Yes, so we just keep an eye

-on the tip of the fishing rod.

-I borrowed this.

-Turn it up. That's right.

-Do you go fishing every day?

-Not every day,

-but I do go fishing regularly.

-As often as I can.

-How long have you been fishing?

-How long have you been fishing?

-

-For years.

-How long have you been fishing?

-Since I met my husband, in 1988.

-He was a keen angler.

-If he wasn't working,

-he was out fishing.

-That's how I started.

-Do you eat your catch?

-No. I only like smoked trout

-and smoked salmon.

-The expensive stuff!

-Pwllheli's posh!

-Why are you cutting off

-the heads and tails?

-To release the odour.

-Feed it through.

-This is to hide the hook?

-Yes.

-Push it all the way up.

-Make sure the hook's out.

-There we are.

-Make sure the hook's clear.

-Next, you need some elastic.

-Hold the hook and wrap the elastic

-around the bait.

-MUSIC

-I cast my line, so what now?

-Just wait?

-Yes.

-For how long? An hour?

-No, for around 15 minutes,

-then we'll change bait.

-The scent of the fish on the hook

-will fade in that time.

-That's why

-we have to change the bait.

-We'll sit here and wait

-for 15 minutes.

-This is a world away

-from my busy kitchen in London.

-I enjoy fishing.

-What do you enjoy about it?

-The thrill of competition?

-Yes, and the challenge.

-I love being outdoors too.

-It's relaxing to be outside,

-in the fresh air...

-..even if it's blowing a gale

-and raining.

-It's nice to be outside.

-How long have you been fly fishing?

-How long have you been fly fishing?

-

-For around 25 years.

-Oh, OK.

-You know your stuff then!

-You always learn something.

-You never know it all.

-Moc Morgan would say

-only a fool thinks he knows it all.

-That's very true.

-You compete all over Britain.

-Have you got some stories

-about the ones that got away?

-What happens on these fishing trips?

-What happens on these fishing trips?

-

-We get lost!

-What, you don't find the lakes?

-What, you don't find the lakes?

-

-We find them eventually.

-I have a sat nav in the car

-and Enid is my navigator...

-..but no matter where we go,

-we get lost.

-We're too busy talking

-to realize we've gone wrong.

-After a while on the beach...

-..I tried my luck

-spinning off the rocks.

-Hey-hey!

-I've caught a mackerel,

-although I was after bream.

-Never mind.

-I've caught it now...

-..so I'll cook it later.

-There's nothing better

-than fresh mackerel.

-Hello! I caught a fish.

-Well done!

-Have you caught anything?

-Have you caught anything?

-

-No - nothing.

-It's time to get cooking.

-Lovely!

-For my next recipe,

-I'll cook a sea bream.

-I didn't catch one today,

-so I bought one locally.

-I'll cook the mackerel I did catch

-a little later.

-I'll cook it whole...

-..and serve it with a grapefruit,

-lime and orange dressing.

-First, I must prepare the fish.

-Cut off the tail, using scissors.

-Cut off all the fins.

-It's important to do that because

-the fins burn as we cook the fish.

-Cut off anything which will burn

-before the meat is cooked.

-Next, remove the head.

-A lot of people don't like cooking

-whole fish and seeing the eyes.

-I'll cut off the head.

-Use a good knife for this.

-Push it through the bone.

-This is thyme.

-I'll also use some wild fennel.

-This fennel grows locally.

-Score the skin, through to the meat,

-to make sure the skin doesn't curl.

-Season it.

-Add a little oil.

-Make sure the pan's hot.

-In goes the fish.

-I'll prepare the dressing

-while the fish cooks.

-I'll use a grapefruit.

-Pull out some segments.

-Do the same thing with an orange.

-Remove the skin.

-Segment a lime in the same way.

-Add sugar...

-..salt...

-..and black pepper.

-Before I add the oil...

-..it's important

-to break up the fruit.

-Add olive oil very slowly.

-I'll add basil to the dressing.

-I'll use whole, small leaves.

-In they go.

-Mix well.

-Let it sit while the fish cooks.

-It's ready to be turned over.

-I hope there's colour on it.

-That's perfect.

-As you can see,

-the skin is nice and crispy.

-I can't forget

-the fresh mackerel I caught earlier.

-Season the fish

-and cook it in the pan.

-Would you like to taste it?

-Would you like to taste it?

-

-Yes.

-I caught this mackerel.

-Yes, and we didn't catch a thing!

-Is it alright? Not alright?

-Is it alright? Not alright?

-

-Yes.

-You don't eat fish, do you?

-You don't eat fish, do you?

-

-No, but that's lovely.

-I'll have some more, please.

-I'll have some more, please.

-

-Try the sea bream too.

-Which do you prefer -

-the mackerel or the sea bream?

-I like them both.

-They taste very different.

-Very nice.

-It was a team effort.

-Hang on! A team effort?

-I caught it and I cooked it!

-I caught it and I cooked it!

-

-Team effort. I'll wash up.

-Alright then.

-Next, I'll cook

-in my open air kitchen.

-This is asparagus

-with duck egg dressing.

-First, boil two duck eggs

-for four minutes.

-Asparagus With Duck Egg Dressing

-While the eggs cook,

-I'll prepare the dressing.

-It's really simple.

-I'll use two types of mustard.

-Dijon...

-..and English.

-White wine vinegar.

-Oil.

-Salt...

-..and pepper.

-Give it a stir...

-..then shake it in the jar.

-There we are.

-The dressing is ready.

-The eggs have had four minutes.

-Out they come.

-Next, with a chef's hands...

-..I'll peel the eggs

-whilst they're hot.

-It's important

-to cook the asparagus quickly.

-Snap off the lower section.

-You can't eat this part.

-Add lots of salt

-to a pan of boiling water.

-Salt enhances the taste of asparagus

-and it helps preserve the colour.

-Put the asparagus in the water

-and boil for three to four minutes.

-That gives me plenty of time

-to prepare the dressing.

-Slice the eggs

-whilst they're still warm.

-The warm, runny yolks

-should flow out.

-I hope the yolk oozes out.

-That's what gives us the dressing.

-It's important

-that the egg whites are cooked...

-..and the yolks are runny.

-That's perfect.

-Cut up the eggs in the bowl.

-Add some dressing to the eggs.

-To add colour to the dressing...

-..I'll use some parsley.

-It's important to add the parsley

-at the last minute.

-The eggs are still warm...

-..so if I added the parsley too soon

-you'd lose that green colour.

-Hopefully, the asparagus is ready.

-Season the asparagus.

-Add a bit of oil.

-We're ready to serve.

-Spoon the duck egg dressing

-over the asparagus.

-Asparagus with duck egg dressing.

-It looks great.

-There we are.

-Two perfect ingredients.

-Treacle Tart

-This is a treacle tart recipe.

-I'll use this chilled, sweet pastry

-which I prepared earlier.

-Roll it out.

-It's important to work quickly.

-Line the flan tin with pastry.

-Press it into the edges.

-Next, I need some greaseproof paper.

-In go the baking beans.

-Chill it in the fridge

-for at least 20 minutes.

-The pastry has chilled

-for the required time...

-..so it's time to bake it

-at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

-While the pastry case cooks,

-I'll prepare the treacle filling.

-First, some soda bread.

-In it goes.

-Add some ground almonds

-and create some breadcrumbs.

-Turn on the machine and mix well.

-Next...

-..crack two eggs into a bowl.

-Double cream.

-In it goes.

-The star of the recipe

-is golden syrup.

-Mix it well.

-In it goes.

-Give it a good mix.

-A treacle tart

-should be dense and rich.

-That's why we'll store it

-in the fridge overnight.

-Here's one which has already been

-in the fridge.

-As you can see,

-the colour is totally different.

-The air has gone out of the mixture

-and it's become thick.

-When the pastry has cooked, remove

-the beans and bake until golden.

-Brush beaten egg on the crust

-to seal any holes.

-Pour the mixture

-into the pastry case...

-..and bake

-in a 160 degree oven for 30 minutes.

-The treacle tart is ready.

-All that's left to do now

-is wait for it to cool...

-..before I eat it.

-It's going to be a long wait!
