-I'm Beca.

-I'm going on a journey

-round our beautiful country.

-I want to share my recipes with you.

-I'm holding pop-up parties

-all over Wales...

-..from Llandudno to Llandeilo.

-I'll invite you to share my food.

-This is the type of food I love.

-It's tasty, simple

-and not too fussy.

-Today, I'm in Llandudno.

-Welcome to Llandudno. I'm preparing

-a tea party for this great crowd.

-Arwel Gildas will demonstrate his

-guitar playing and culinary talents.

-We'll find out

-if the people of Llandudno can bake.

-I expect big things from you!

-Arwel, our drinks expert,

-has a special green drink.

-Let's go. Wow!

-Llandudno has attracted tourists

-since Victorian times.

-Queen Victoria loved the place.

-Alice Liddell was one of

-its most famous regular visitors.

-Lewis Carroll based Alice

-In Wonderland on the young girl.

-It's the theme of my tea party.

-I'm baking all sorts of treats

-and tasting absinthe.

-It is claimed that

-Lewis Carroll drank it.

-But with this,

-I could happily sit and chat.

-You wouldn't talk for long!

-When Alice ate a currant cake,

-she began to grow.

-This is how to make

-my rich currant and carrot cake.

-For this delicious cake...

-..I need light brown sugar.

-There's no butter in it.

-I'm using sunflower oil...

-..so the cake is nice and moist.

-Mix the sugar and oil,

-then add four eggs, one at a time.

-Next, ground almonds

-for a lovely texture.

-Now I add flour and baking powder.

-I'm using plain rather

-than self-raising flour.

-The other ingredients

-are quite heavy...

-..for instance carrots and currants.

-Using plain flour

-and baking powder...

-..helps it rise.

-Next, mixed spice and orange rind.

-Then I'll add grated carrots

-and currants.

-Bake in the oven for half an hour.

-The cake is cooked and chilled.

-Now I'm making the icing.

-Cream cheese is added

-in a traditional carrot cake icing.

-This is vanilla paste.

-It consists of vanilla seeds

-and sugar.

-It's sweeter

-than vanilla flavouring.

-Mix the cream cheese, double cream,

-icing sugar and paste.

-Whip for a few minutes

-then spread over the cake.

-Chill for an hour in the fridge.

-I serve the cake with orange rind...

-..and a drink of pineapple juice,

-cherries and cream soda.

-Alice mentions

-these flavours in the book.

-"Drink me".

-It's one of the best

-carrot cakes I've had.

-Wow.

-It was soft, light and moist.

-The cake was delicious...

-..and so was the little drink.

-It tasted like

-rhubarb and custard sweets.

-I'm looking forward

-to the next treat.

-Welcome to the talented singer

-Arwel.

-I hear you're a bit of a baker.

-A bit, yes!

-What have you brought?

-What have you brought?

-

-Brownies.

-I love brownies.

-Is it a special recipe?

-I wish I could say it's

-an old family recipe, but it isn't.

-They look nice.

-They look nice.

-

-I found the recipe online.

-Try some.

-Try some.

-

-Thanks.

-That's good.

-I like dark chocolate.

-These are good. Delicious. Thanks!

-Can you help me in the kitchen?

-Of course.

-We're making scones.

-It's a simple recipe.

-First, flour goes in the bowl.

-Add sugar,

-baking powder and cubed butter.

-How is the singing coming along?

-How is the singing coming along?

-

-Alright.

-I released an album of covers

-last summer.

-I try to release something

-every year or I'd lose momentum.

-People ask, "Are you still singing?"

-not "What are you up to?"

-You're a primary school teacher.

-Work takes up

-quite a bit of my time.

-Being a primary school teacher

-takes up a lot of time and energy.

-Music has always been a hobby.

-I don't see that

-in a different light.

-I try to enjoy myself

-as much as I can.

-Have you made scones before?

-Have you made scones before?

-

-Yes, with my sister.

-She makes great scones.

-She's here today.

-No pressure, then!

-Caraway seeds and orange rind

-work well in scones.

-I'll add an egg to milk and mix.

-You've made brownies,

-and scones with your sister.

-I like sugar.

-Oh, really!

-I like making chocolate caramels

-and salted caramelized ice-cream.

-Do you like the combination

-of sweet and sour?

-I've always been obsessed

-with caramel.

-That looks good.

-Tip it out and work on it

-to pick up all the crumbs.

-It needs to rest for 20 minutes.

-Put it back in the bowl.

-We'll roll it out in 20 minutes.

-Brilliant. Thanks very much.

-There's less for me to do.

-I'll serve up mushroom soup

-while the mixture rests.

-Alice ate magic mushrooms

-that made her change size.

-There are no magic mushrooms

-in this!

-There are onions, garlic,

-wine, thyme, fresh mushrooms...

-..and dried porcini mushrooms.

-It's nice with toast.

-I love mushrooms.

-I liked the small sample.

-There were strong flavours.

-I enjoyed it.

-I don't often cook with mushrooms.

-That was very nice.

-Are you having a good time?

-Are you having a good time?

-

-Yes!

-Two minutes!

-It wouldn't be a tea party

-without sandwiches.

-The egg ones are a nod to Humpty

-Dumpty in Through The Looking-Glass.

-There are also red pepper,

-hummus and chilli sandwiches.

-Pepper crops up in the book.

-It's homemade bread.

-The recipes are on the website.

-The recipes are on the website.

-

-Nice.

-Oh, wow.

-There's a kick.

-The bread was lovely and light.

-I wish I could do that.

-We need to have the recipe.

-Lovely sandwiches!

-I had an egg sandwich.

-The hummus and pepper sandwich

-was hot!

-The scones are ready to cut out.

-I'll serve them with orange curd.

-Melt butter over boiling water...

-..then add sugar,

-orange juice and rind...

-..and eggs.

-This is the important part,

-so don't walk off.

-It'll thicken nicely

-in five minutes.

-Coming up, we find out

-if Arwel's scones rise.

-And the cooking competition.

-Welcome back to Llandudno for

-an Alice In Wonderland tea party.

-These are orange and caraway scones.

-The scones and orange curd Arwel

-helped make are going down well.

-And now, Queen Tarts.

-These pretty tarts

-are simple to make.

-First, make a sweet dough.

-Mix flour, salt, cubed butter,

-sugar and water.

-Bring it together, wrap in clingfilm

-and chill for an hour.

-Everyone remembers the jam tarts

-in Alice In Wonderland.

-We assume it's strawberry jam.

-But in the story, pepper is added.

-I'm using strawberry jam

-with black pepper.

-They'll be tiny heart-shaped tarts.

-Thinly roll the dough,

-cut into shapes and add jam.

-The jam consists of strawberries,

-sugar, lemon juice and black pepper.

-It's delicious.

-The recipe is on the website.

-Before covering, dab egg

-on the edges and seal with a fork.

-Half an hour in the oven

-and they're ready to eat.

-I finish them off with pink icing.

-I'm also serving

-pink peppercorn and lime biscuits.

-Have a look at the website.

-Lovely.

-The pastry is nice and crumbly.

-The pastry is nice and crumbly.

-

-Wow.

-Now, a drink Lewis Carroll imbibed

-while writing his book, so they say.

-Arwel, what on earth

-have you got for me to taste?

-It's time for something

-different. This is absinthe.

-OK!

-We'll serve it the correct way,

-using this fountain.

-What is in this?

-Water, which has

-to be as cold as possible.

-Here's the absinthe.

-Have you ever tried it?

-Have you ever tried it?

-

-Yes. I don't remember a lot.

-Do you want to confess?

-Do you want to confess?

-

-That's fine!

-It was a shot, not like this.

-We'll serve it the correct way.

-Right.

-It's very strong. This is 68%.

-Famous people

-like Picasso and Van Gogh...

-..went crazy drinking it,

-trying to be creative.

-Lewis Carroll too. Are these facts?

-There are stories, but not facts.

-It contains a very small amount

-of a chemical compound, thujone.

-It's also in cannabis. But there

-isn't enough to have any effect.

-Go for it. I'm looking forward

-to tasting it like this.

-I tasted it neat before.

-Tell me what you're doing.

-That's one measure of absinthe.

-Now, a sugar lump.

-You don't have to use it.

-But it's a very sour drink.

-You do yours.

-We'll open the tap

-so the sugar is under the drip.

-It could take a bit of time.

-Let it drip over it.

-Let it drip over it.

-

-Yes.

-Wow!

-This only adds to the taste.

-I can smell it.

-You won't get the smell

-if it's neat.

-Water adds a lot.

-Would you drink it

-as an aperitif or digestif?

-It's supposed to be an aperitif.

-But in the old days in France...

-..they drank it in the morning.

-At tea-time,

-what we call Pimms o'clock...

-..they had "l'heure verte",

-the green hour.

-That was the ideal time

-to drink absinthe.

-We're almost there.

-It's important to mix it.

-All the sugar could

-settle at the bottom.

-I can't believe

-how much the colour has changed.

-Some brands are much greener

-when water is added.

-Do I drink it in small sips?

-Yes, and carefully.

-Cheers.

-Chin-chin.

-Aniseed.

-That's nice.

-You get liquorice and aniseed.

-You get liquorice and aniseed.

-

-I can tell it's strong.

-But it doesn't burn your throat.

-But it doesn't burn your throat.

-

-No. That's what's nice.

-When you have shots,

-it can be just ugh.

-But with this,

-I could happily sit and chat.

-You wouldn't talk for long!

-You'd be alright for a bit.

-You'd be alright for a bit.

-

-Are you going to time me?

-But the taste is so much

-better than you'd expect.

-It is.

-Thanks.

-Now, it's time for the competition.

-The challenge was to create

-a sweet dish on the Alice theme.

-I don't know who made what, but

-here's a glimpse for you at home.

-I've baked small cakes and

-decorated them in the Alice theme.

-I've seen the others.

-I don't think I have much hope!

-I made shortbread biscuits...

-..and piped them

-with pink heart shapes.

-I've judged in a few small shows.

-But I don't compete.

-I've made cupcakes, biscuits

-and cream cakes in small pots.

-I decided to make more than one,

-in case they weren't any good.

-I made a rabbit-shaped cake.

-My daughter helped me.

-I don't remember

-the story exactly...

-..apart from Alice jumping

-into a hole after a rabbit.

-That's why we made a rabbit shape.

-I've made small chocolate cakes.

-I chose the theme

-of red and white roses.

-They look better than they taste!

-I hope she judges

-with her eyes, not mouth!

-Arwel and I are going to taste

-your cakes and biscuits now.

-We're starving.

-Yes.

-You have a sweet tooth.

-You have a sweet tooth.

-

-Yes, very.

-Let's start this end.

-This looks great.

-We'll see now.

-There's a surprise in it.

-They look like cranberries.

-Cherries?

-Cherries?

-

-Or bilberries.

-Mm!

-Frangipane.

-Almonds.

-I love almonds!

-And cherries.

-We have a winner!

-It's really nice.

-Very tasty.

-A good start.

-The next ones look like shortbread.

-Nice hearts.

-Good bake, as they say!

-Nice.

-Good, solid shortbread.

-Amazing!

-They're small chocolate cakes.

-The roses are lovely.

-Whoever made them is talented.

-There's a surprise in the middle!

-It looks like caramel.

-I'm a fan.

-I'm a fan.

-

-You are.

-Mm.

-Jack Daniels.

-Jack Daniels.

-

-Wow.

-When I see a lot of buttercream,

-I worry it might be too sweet.

-But that's lovely.

-Right!

-One moment.

-Now the rabbit. It's brilliant!

-Shall we have a ear?

-Or part of the body?

-Or part of the body?

-

-I'm more of a body type.

-Go on!

-The cake is nice.

-There's not too much

-buttercream, which I like.

-Now, the last one.

-There are lots of small cakes

-with card suits...

-..and biscuits too.

-These are fantastic.

-I think they're cheesecakes.

-There's a heart-shaped

-strawberry on the top.

-Can you see?

-I'll have a biscuit.

-Nice.

-The sponge looks nice.

-Mm.

-A bit like a pancake.

-No.

-OK.

-Now, the jelly.

-The biscuit base is nice.

-Lovely.

-I have a confession.

-What have you done?

-What have you done?

-

-My two sisters are competing.

-We were in the same kitchen,

-so I know which ones they made.

-I won't tell you.

-Thanks for your help! No pressure.

-To avoid any bias.

-It's between two.

-But the winner

-is the first we tasted.

-Who made these?

-Great. Come here!

-Congratulations. What's your name?

-Congratulations. What's your name?

-

-Gwawr.

-Well done. What was the recipe?

-Well done. What was the recipe?

-

-It's cherry and almond.

-There's a cherry in the middle.

-Then I just iced them.

-They were really tasty.

-I love almonds.

-You must have researched that!

-You must have researched that!

-

-No!

-Thanks. Give Gwawr

-a round of applause!

-For all today's recipes

-and much more, go to the website.

-Now, here's Arwel Gildas to sing

-Y Gwr O Gwmpenmachno. Ta-ra!

-# Who went out

-with a girl from Llandudno

-# He met her for a date

-# She was a pretty girl

-# Her father ran a garage
