-I'm Beca. I'm going on a journey

-round our marvellous country.

-I want to share my recipes with you.

-I'm holding pop-up

-food parties all over Wales...

-..from Llandudno to Llandeilo.

-I'll invite you to taste my food.

-This is the type of food I love.

-It's tasty, simple

-and not too fussy.

-Today, I'm in Llandeilo.

-Llandeilo is on the banks

-of the River Tywi.

-Local women

-have gathered for a slap-up meal.

-CHEERS

-The food is all about

-that lovely drink, gin.

-Ooh!

-The Welsh Whisperer is here to

-keep order and help in the kitchen.

-Hello.

-Can the women cook

-a gin infused pudding?

-Let's go!

-# La la la

-# I've come on a pilgrimage

-to Llandeilo

-# On the banks of the Tywi

-# I'm only here

-for a big bucket of gin #

-I've come to the right place

-to cook with gin.

-Llandeilo's Ginhaus

-stocks over 250 different gins.

-I don't drink a lot of it.

-Gin And Tonic sounds so nice.

-It sounds clean.

-I often use wine to cook...

-..but never gin.

-I drink it, but never cook with it.

-On today's menu...

-..venison and gin stew

-and a Gin And Tonic cake.

-But to start, lovely salmon blinis.

-The skin is still

-on this fresh salmon.

-The fishmonger removed the bones.

-I'm not cooking it.

-The gin, salt and sugar

-will do the hard work.

-Allow three days for this recipe

-so the gin cooks the salmon.

-It's worth it, believe me.

-I have grated beetroot.

-I'm adding horseradish.

-It looks like parsnip.

-It doesn't taste anything

-like parsnip. Grate it in.

-Now add three teaspoons of sea salt

-and three teaspoons of sugar.

-I'll crush pink peppercorns

-and coriander seeds for spice.

-And finally, the gin!

-Mix well and cover the salmon.

-Make sure all the salmon is covered.

-The fish will be

-a fantastic colour...

-..a bit like my hands!

-Once the fish is completely covered,

-wrap in clingfilm.

-Let it rest in the fridge for two,

-or better still, three days.

-Here's one I made earlier.

-It's an amazing colour.

-I serve it on blinis

-with creme fraiche...

-..horseradish and pickled cucumber.

-The Welsh Whisperer is helping me.

-Who is The Welsh Whisperer?

-Who is The Welsh Whisperer?

-

-Me.

-Oh!

-The idea came after

-I saw a photo of myself.

-I had a long beard.

-Someone said, "It looks like

-a seventies vinyl cover.

-"You're like a young Tecwyn Ifan."

-I was chuffed.

-Then I started to realize my dream.

-I performed gigs here and there.

-The Welsh Daniel O'Donnell was born.

-And now you're cooking with me.

-How would you describe your music?

-How would you describe your music?

-

-If you call it music...

-..country singing, folk, pop...

-..oompah, and reggae sometimes.

-Gosh.

-It depends where I am.

-What will go down well here?

-What will go down well here?

-

-We'll find out.

-You've done your research.

-The age is spot on.

-You're excited.

-Once they've paid the mortgage,

-they buy my CDs!

-Try one.

-This is a blini.

-With salmon.

-Is it on my moustache?

-Is it on my moustache?

-

-No.

-Nice. I don't normally

-eat creme fraiche like that.

-The pickled cucumbers

-are nice and strong.

-I like it. It's soft and light.

-Was the horseradish too hot?

-Was the horseradish too hot?

-

-That's what it was.

-Maybe less the next time.

-Maybe less the next time.

-

-No, it's fine. But no more.

-Can you help me prepare them

-for the audience?

-The blini recipe is on our website.

-How are you, ladies?

-Help yourselves to the gin,

-salmon and beetroot blinis.

-They're cucumbers on the top.

-It's very tasty.

-Delicious.

-The beetroot gave

-it a bright colour.

-It looked nice.

-I liked the combination of tastes.

-It disappeared quickly, too!

-It disappeared quickly, too!

-

-Too fast! We didn't have enough.

-Good evening. Are you enjoying it?

-Can you taste everything?

-They're lush.

-They're lush.

-

-Oh!

-That's nice to hear.

-Are you on the gin, too?

-Cheers.

-I can't go anywhere in Wales

-without bumping into relatives.

-I'm with Auntie Heulwen

-and my cousin Doreen.

-Are you OK? Nice to see you.

-It's lovely to be here.

-Did you taste the blinis?

-Did you taste the blinis?

-

-I enjoyed them very much.

-They were delicious.

-Can we have the recipe?

-Can we have the recipe?

-

-It'll be on the website.

-Very nice.

-Very nice.

-

-I'm glad.

-The gin came through.

-Not enough for me!

-Not enough for me!

-

-I knew you'd say that!

-The pudding will have lots of gin.

-Good!

-Have you entered the competition?

-We both have. God help you

-if we don't win a prize!

-That went down well.

-I went to Dinefwr Castle for the

-star ingredient of the main course.

-Dinefwr Park Nature Reserve

-is home to a lovely manor...

-..and deer.

-It's top quality meat.

-Rhodri, the warden,

-looks after them.

-They look like Bambi to me.

-Fallow deer

-are not native to Britain.

-The Normans introduced them.

-They've been in the park

-since the 18th century.

-How many do you have?

-How many do you have?

-

-180.

-We control the numbers

-to keep them around that mark.

-Is there a reason

-for keeping the numbers down?

-We only have 120 acres.

-They'd starve if we had more.

-There isn't enough pasture.

-You slaughter the deer

-and sell the meat.

-Is it sold locally in Llandeilo?

-We sell it in our shop here...

-..in the town's butcher shops

-and restaurants.

-It's a sustainable product.

-I'm making a venison and gin

-casserole in the Ginhaus.

-I think I'll need the haunch.

-What other cut would work?

-Haunch would work,

-and also the shoulder.

-They use their shoulders a lot.

-Can we have some?

-Can we have some?

-

-Yes, I'm sure we can.

-Brilliant.

-This is the amazing venison.

-You won't get better anywhere

-in Britain.

-It's healthy and flavoursome.

-I'm making a simple casserole.

-I'll use carrots and onions.

-Sloe gin will be lovely

-with the meat.

-Fry the onions in oil

-for five minutes until soft.

-Brown the meat.

-Add garlic...

-..carrots...

-..and the all-important sloe gin.

-Pour a generous glug for flavour.

-Add juniper berries

-to enhance the taste of gin.

-A few bay leaves, rosemary...

-..salt, pepper...

-..and flour to thicken

-the stew as it cooks.

-Add beef stock.

-It's as simple as that.

-It smells incredible.

-I'm bringing it to the boil,

-then the lid goes on.

-It'll go in the oven for an

-hour and a half to two hours.

-I serve it with parsnip

-and white bean mash...

-..and cavolo nero cabbage.

-The recipes are on the website.

-It was wonderful.

-I tasted it a few years ago.

-I didn't think I'd want it again.

-It was very tender.

-I've cooked venison many times.

-I normally use red wine.

-But after tonight...

-..I'll add gin instead of red wine.

-It's nice that it's locally sourced.

-I went to see

-the deer in the summer...

-..but I didn't eat them!

-After the break...

-..our gin pudding competition,

-my delicious G&T cake...

-..and more from the Welsh Whisperer.

-# Hi, Llandeilo,

-the Whisperer is in the kitchen

-# So hide the beer,

-bara brith and local paper! #

-I'm in Llandeilo with the Welsh

-Whisperer and these lovely ladies...

-..celebrating gin,

-a favourite drink of mine.

-Coming up, a G&T cake.

-But first, we'll taste cocktails

-prepared by Becky of the Ginhaus...

-..especially for this evening.

-Carwen and Shan,

-are you enjoying yourselves?

-Yes, a great deal!

-Good. Do you like gin?

-Good. Do you like gin?

-

-Yes.

-No, I don't think so.

-Is there a story here?

-I got a bit drunk on it

-in my sister's wedding!

-I haven't touched it since.

-I'll tell you about the cocktails.

-This one has gin in it, obviously...

-..pineapple juice and apricot syrup.

-Tell me what you think.

-There's a blood orange garnish.

-Cheers.

-It's good.

-It's good.

-

-Nice.

-It has a strong pineapple taste.

-Very nice.

-I think you like gin now.

-I think I do.

-Cheers.

-The next one has

-grapefruit juice with the gin...

-..in those glasses.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

-Ooh!

-That's strong!

-I'm not keen on grapefruit.

-I'm not keen on grapefruit.

-

-Me neither.

-But you're going back for more!

-The last one is a special mojito.

-There are raspberries

-and pink Prosecco with gin.

-What do you think?

-That's good.

-That's good.

-

-That's the best.

-I agree.

-The first one is tasty.

-Yes, but it's a bit sweet.

-I like mojitos, anyway.

-Good.

-I think chapel communion wine

-glasses should be this size.

-Sorry. You can cut that out!

-If you want to try these cocktails,

-the recipes are on the website.

-Remember to drink in moderation,

-like the ladies.

-Now, it's time for pudding.

-It's a gin and tonic cake.

-I made this as a bit of fun for the

-choir girls, because they like gin.

-It's in the cake, drizzle and icing.

-If you don't like gin,

-this isn't the cake for you.

-I start by making

-a simple sponge mix...

-..with marge, sugar, eggs, flour...

-..ground almonds and lime zest.

-Then I add gin and tonic.

-Bake for 40 minutes at 180 degrees.

-While the sponge bakes,

-I'll make a simple syrup...

-..with lime juice,

-sugar, gin and tonic.

-Bring it to the boil, then boil

-for a few minutes to thicken.

-Soak with the syrup,

-once the sponges are ready.

-Let them cool

-before cutting the cake.

-I serve it with G&T icing.

-The recipe is on the website.

-It's nice and light.

-Lovely.

-I think there was gin in the icing.

-There was more of a gin taste

-in the icing than in the cake.

-It was light,

-with just enough taste of gin.

-Real lush!

-It's time to see how well the

-ladies can cook in our competition.

-The challenge was

-making a pudding with gin.

-I have no idea who made what!

-But here's a clip for you.

-I decided to make Gin Syllabub.

-It's very easy to prepare.

-I hope they taste nice.

-I made a Key Lime And Gin Pie.

-I've made it before,

-but not with gin.

-I made a small cheesecake.

-There's sloe gin in it.

-It looks quite tasty.

-I hope it's OK!

-I made a Blackcurrant And Gin Tart.

-I grew the blackcurrants

-and made the jam.

-I made a pastry base...

-..then used fresh fruit

-soaked in gin.

-There's gin in the fresh cream too.

-I made a Gin

-And Pineapple Cheesecake.

-I used gin instead

-of pineapple juice.

-I hope it's turned out alright.

-You can taste it later.

-The Welsh Whisperer is here. We're

-going to sample these tasty dishes.

-Thanks to everyone who took part.

-We'll start here.

-It's a Lime And Sloe Gin Cheesecake.

-I like cheesecake.

-That's a good start.

-I'll try and go down to the bottom.

-I'll try and go down to the bottom.

-

-If you can.

-That would be a bonus.

-There's a bit of it.

-You'll get it on your tache!

-Good lord, there's gin in that!

-Good lord, there's gin in that!

-

-Mamma mia!

-We'll be rolling home.

-A good start.

-Yes. There's a kick in that.

-This one looks amazing.

-It's a Key Lime And Gin Pie.

-I'll cut it. Nice.

-The gin in the first

-has gone to my head!

-Look out!

-Right.

-That's lush.

-A bit of zest.

-That's lovely.

-Next, a Blackcurrant Tart...

-..with gin of course.

-It's nicely decorated too.

-It looks nice.

-I like it.

-I like it.

-

-Really nice.

-You're good!

-Gin Surprise!

-What's the surprise?

-We'll see.

-BACKGROUND VOICE

-BACKGROUND VOICE

-

-No gin!

-Ooh!

-You can see the layers clearly.

-It smells nice.

-It looks as if

-it might be heavy, but it isn't.

-No.

-Two to go.

-Gin Syllabub.

-What is syllabub?

-What is syllabub?

-

-A kind of mousse.

-It's made with eggs and sugar.

-Ooh!

-Nice.

-It tastes different

-from what I expected.

-Gin, tick.

-Gin And Pineapple Cheesecake.

-I don't think

-I've had pineapple cheesecake.

-Me neither.

-Mm!

-Nice.

-Nice.

-

-I like the pineapple.

-Shall we have a chat?

-I think we should.

-Talk amongst yourselves.

-There's a good balance

-in the Key Lime And Gin Pie.

-It has a light gin taste.

-And it looks nice.

-Yes.

-I liked the syllabub and this one

-was nicer than I expected.

-I think it's between these two.

-I think it's that one.

-I'm happy to agree.

-We've chosen the winner!

-The winner is...

-..the Key Lime And Gin Pie.

-And it's... Doreen!

-APPLAUSE

-Come here!

-Well done.

-This isn't a fix!

-I didn't know.

-Thank you very much!

-Thank you very much!

-

-Well done.

-Don't get excited.

-I'm excited.

-It was lovely.

-But they were all really good.

-Who made the first one?

-I like gin!

-She had a few before making it!

-It was tasty and light.

-We both said we'd be tipsy

-by the time we finished it!

-Thanks to everyone.

-Congratulations.

-If you'd like to cook

-with gin like the ladies...

-..the recipes are on the website.

-Next time,

-I'll make brunch in Ruthin.

-The Candelas lads

-will sample cakes...

-..and perform a special song.

-Our party is almost over.

-Our party is almost over.

-

-Oh!

-Thanks to the people of Llandeilo

-and the Welsh Whisperer. Off you go!

-Thanks.

-Ladies of Llandeilo,

-clap your hands.

-It feels like Noson Lawen.

-Hallelujah!

-# I once was a wanderer,

-crossing many boundaries

-# Travelling the world,

-day and night

-# Flying like a lark

-# I drank in distant pubs

-# In Germany's beer halls

-# In Las Vegas's cocktail bars

-and the cantinas of Mexico City

-# But someone was missing, while

-sunbathing and getting sunburnt

-# I shouted out loud,

-I'm looking for a Welsh girl #

-Is there a Welsh girl here?

-Yes!

-# In Italy's vineyards

-# I met Marina

-# Her skin was coloured

-by the Latin sun

-# I invited her for lunch

-# As I'm a gentleman

-# But she didn't like

-leeks in her cannelloni

-# Someone was missing, while

-sunbathing and getting sunburnt

-# I shouted out loud,

-I'm looking for a Welsh girl #

-Don't worry, girls, I'm back

-in the land of milk and honey.

-# Now I'm back in Wales

-# In the land of bacon and eggs

-# I want a warm welcome

-from a pretty girl or two

-# It's time for a big party

-# With Welshcakes and Cawl

-# Milk and the bees' honey

-# And everyone folk dancing

-# Back in the countryside

-# Ploughing the soil

-and planting beans

-# I'm not talking about farming,

-but about a Welsh girl

-# Now it's harvest time

-# Let's praise fertile land

-# I'm so happy

-with pretty Welsh girls #

-Thanks, Llandeilo!
