-Hello and welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-We hope you've had a great weekend

-despite the torrential rain.

-We experienced terrible flooding

-in the Vale of Glamorgan yesterday.

-Let's hope it clears up soon.

-Some areas also experienced snow

-which proves winter is truly here!

-We'll hear more

-about the weather later.

-You don't have to leave the house

-as there's plenty in store for you.

-The Christmas preparations

-continue in the kitchen.

-Today, Lisa concentrates on

-mince pies and Christmas buns.

-Arwel Roberts will be chatting

-about the history of Capel Iwan...

-..and his father, the late,

-Reverend Lewis Griffith Roberts.

-Are you worried about

-Christmas shopping?

-Don't fret, as this week

-is gift week on Prynhawn Da.

-We have a variety of ideas for you

-and we start with some beauty gifts.

-We also meet the ceramic designer,

-Caryl Lewis who's shed is a studio.

-We've got a great programme

-to start your week.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-We start the programme by looking

-back at the weekend newspapers.

-Elinor Wyn Reynolds

-joins us in the studio today.

-Welcome to the programme, Elinor.

-Thank you.

-We start with Donald Trump.

-Donald Trump has hit the weekend

-headlines for a number of reasons.

-People are looking back

-at some interesting weeks.

-They are trying to work out

-how has this happened.

-We also wonder what would have

-happened if Trump wasn't a success.

-JG Ballard's daughter has written

-in the papers.

-Novelist, JG Ballad foresaw

-a lot of today's events.

-We know of Trump although Hillary

-has been in the spotlight.

-But she is know for being part

-of the political world.

-Trump is known for other things.

-We've known of Trump for years.

-He appeared on television before.

-He was a no-nonsense character.

-He's able to sort things out.

-He could sort America out.

-Many people get news

-from the social websites.

-They get a Donald Trump version.

-JD Ballard also foresaw that we

-would put a version of ourselves...

-..on YouTube and Snapchat

-and so on.

-He foresaw all this.

-Next, we move on to Japan.

-In Japan, leading young people

-are forgoing finding a partner...

-..and resort to falling for online

-fictional characters in video games.

-They are referred to

-as stranded singles.

-These young people have

-relationships with these characters.

-There's less stress.

-Some people consider marriage

-later on in life.

-This causes problems

-for the numbers of population.

-Japan's young people believe that

-they shouldn't have children...

-..before marriage and

-they are happy to wait.

-In the western world,

-we may have an interest in this.

-The aim is to have a real

-relationship later on.

-Next, we move on to Scandinavia.

-Hygge is a Danish world

-that rough translate cosiness.

-Lighting candles and comfort food

-is associated with hygge.

-It's a form of living.

-Being happy is another attribute.

-The world unhygge describes

-the exact opposite of cosy.

-It's the feeling you are being

-watched from a forest...

-..by a troll or an evil witch.

-There's a fantasy aspect

-with unhygge.

-Thank you, Elinor.

-The Christmas preparations are

-underway in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-It's time to prepare the mince pies.

-After the break,

-we'll be sampling Lisa's mince pies.

-We'll also be chatting

-to Arwel Roberts of Capel Iwan...

-..about the area and his family

-from his book, Hanes Capel Iwan.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Mince pie day has arrived.

-Before turning our attention to them

-Lisa has published a book.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Tell us more about the book.

-This is my first culinary book.

-The photographs are wonderful.

-Aled Llewelyn provided the photos.

-The book is a celebration of food

-and family.

-It features seasonal foods and

-different times of the year.

-There are recipes for Christmas

-and Easter.

-It's also bilingual.

-I'm making mince pies

-that feature in the book.

-I've got mince pies with stars

-on the top and crumble.

-We start with the pastry making.

-Take 250 grams of plain flour.

-Use 125 grams of butter.

-You can rub it together

-with your hands.

-I'm using a food processor.

-Add 85 grams of icing sugar.

-You need one egg.

-Add one egg white.

-There are clouds of flour here!

-The egg binds it together.

-Add a drop of cold water

-if required.

-It isn't too runny.

-The food processor

-does all the hard work.

-Here's the pastry.

-I'm making pastry balls.

-Allow the pastry to chill

-for a while.

-I made this pastry earlier.

-Leave it in the fridge to chill

-for about 20 minutes.

-You don't want the pastry to crack.

-Don't leave it in the fridge

-overnight.

-It becomes too tough to work with.

-Find a cutter

-that's a suitable size.

-You want it slighter bigger

-than the tin.

-You can make the pastry

-as thin or thick are you want.

-Yes, you can make the pastry as thin

-or thick as you want.

-Don't make them too thin as you

-could create holes.

-You need quality mincemeat.

-You can also add some stewed apple,

-brandy and cinnamon...

-..if you have a cheaper version.

-I've got some almond and

-cinnamon biscuits.

-Mash the biscuits up.

-The mixture adds some crunch.

-Sprinkle it over the top

-of the pies.

-You can also use some leftover

-crumble...

-..when making an apple crumble.

-How long do they need to cook?

-Bake at 180 for 20 minutes.

-Serve with some cream.

-On Friday, the photographer,

-Gareth Jones was in the studio...

-..to judge the winner of our

-autumn photography competition.

-Each photograph was wonderful.

-we're about to announce them again.

-Third place went to Bruce Lane with

-his photography of an early morning.

-The judge, Gareth praised the

-framing of this photograph.

-In second place was Dennis Jones

-with the photograph.

-We can see the wonderful

-autumnal colours in this image.

-was Ruth Clement of Swansea.

-Gareth praised Ruth for her use

-of shading and technique.

-Congratulations Ruth, there's

-an iPad is on its way to you.

-Our guest originates from Snowdonia

-but uprooted to Capel Iwan...

-..on the outskirts

-of Newcastle Emlyn...

-Independent chapel at Capel Iwan.

-Following some extensive

-and meticulous research...

-..he's published Hanes Capel Iwan.

-Arwel, welcome to the Prynhawn Da.

-Myrddin Morgan has gone

-through my father's work...

-..to provide information

-for this book.

-I'm grateful to him.

-There is a lot of interest

-in area history.

-It's important

-that future generations...

-..are aware of what went on

-in this area.

-He didn't drive at the start and

-walked around to people's houses.

-He was involved

-in many community groups.

-He was also part of many groups

-including Band of Hope.

-My father was 70 years old

-when he died.

-Ieuan bravely ventures

-to the garden.

-We return to the kitchen

-to taste some Christmas buns.

-Keep watching to find out more.

-I've left the studio for a

-very good reason, it's raining.

-Steff from the S4C

-weather department has joined me.

-What has been the reason behind

-all of the rain on Sunday?

-On Saturday and Sunday,

-we experienced Storm Angus.

-The worst was experienced

-in South East England.

-The winds were strong and there was

-flooding in the Vale of Glamorgan.

-As you mentioned,

-the weather is still miserable.

-A band of strong rain is moving from

-South East.

-The heavy rain will continue for the

-rest of the weekend.

-Will it improve at all?

-If you're out and about this

-afternoon, take your time.

-Tomorrow, it will clear, the winds

-will reduce, but it will be cloudy.

-It will continue to improve

-for the rest of the week...

-..as the low pressure moves on to

-the North East.

-Thanks, Steff.

-We better go back into the

-studio to dry.

-Back to the studio.

-I'm glad to be indoors.

-It's gift week on Prynhawn Da.

-Today, Marion concentrates on

-beauty gifts for both men and women.

-I have a variety of items.

-Yardley is a familiar name.

-They've been creating talc and soap

-since 1777.

-It's 12

-for this Baylis & Harding set.

-This is great for a weekend away.

-It's 27.50 for this Versace set.

-These are smaller bottles

-of perfume.

-This is perfect for an evening bag.

-This is the one you want.

-The Estee Lauder gift set is 58.

-If you buy perfume,

-you can also buy this.

-Sometimes, you can get a treat,

-that you wouldn't spend on yourself.

-You get your money's worth

-from this...

-..as some of the products

-cost 50 alone.

-There's a candle that smells

-the same as the perfume.

-Everything you need to make

-your skin great is in this box.

-This is a special price.

-This is the new perfume by Dior.

-You also get two nail varnishes.

-Young people like Benefit.

-Next, we have the Benefit gift set

-which costs 44.50.

-You get a variety of products

-in this.

-This next item

-is the most expensive.

-It's 90 for the Marc Jacobs set.

-The perfume is very expensive...

-..but you also get a roller ball

-in it.

-You could use the box as

-a jewellery box after Christmas.

-I've got two nail varnishes next.

-They change colour depending

-on mood and head.

-This is fun for children.

-This is very pretty,

-It's 5 for the Frozen gift from

-Boots.

-You'll see glitter in the bottle.

-The companies see their chance

-with everything.

-Next, we have gifts for the men.

-The Old Spice gift set is 15.

-There's shaving cream,

-deodorant and body wash in it.

-People remember the adverts.

-Next, we have the Jean Paul Gaultier

-set which is 42.50.

-We're familiar with

-Jean Paul Gaultier.

-It is a nautical theme bottle.

-It's 48 for the Clinique set.

-This is a very light product.

-Our final items is the Jack Wills

-gift set, which costs 20.

-This is also popular

-with young people.

-It comes in a lovely bag

-for the gym.

-Some of these items will find

-their way into Christmas Cracker!

-Tomorrow, Lowri Steffan

-will have homeware gift ideas.

-I've manged to dry off

-after being out in the rain.

-It isn't the best weather

-for gardening either...

-..but there's still plenty to do

-and Ieuan tells us more.

-We all know that garlic

-has a number of health benefits...

-..and is a tasty ingredient

-in an array of savoury dishes.

-It's also relatively easy to grow

-but it needs a sunny area...

-If you have heavy, clay-like soil

-that tends to stay wet in winter...

-..then it's best to grow garlic

-in cells or small pots.

-You can place them in a tray,

-in a cool area...

-..before planting them outdoors

-in the spring.

-It's even better to plant them

-in a large pot...

-..that is eight-inches-wide

-and eight-inches-deep.

-Fill it with multi-purpose compost

-mixed with a general fertilizer.

-Spread some lime over soil

-that is very acidic...

-..because garlic will not grow

-in soil that's under a pH of 6.5.

-This is a garlic bulb from

-the supermarket that costs 30p.

-Three of these bulbs would cost 90p.

-Don't be tempted to plant the bulbs

-from the supermarket.

-They are fine to eat

-but were grown in the Mediterranean.

-It's a variety of garlic

-that prefers a warmer climate.

-It's best to pay more to buy those

-that are planted in the garden.

-There's two basic types of garlic.

-The softneck garlic

-has a milder flavour...

-..and stores well from the summer

-and into the winter.

-The hardneck garlic is stronger

-in flavour but not as hardy.

-First, open all the bulbs

-to find the individual cloves...

-..as they should

-be planted individually.

-Plant the cloves

-with the flat part facing down...

-..as the narrow pointed edge

-is the top.

-in rows of a foot apart.

-Unlike onions, that are planted

-with their tops above the soil...

-..garlic cloves

-need to be planted deeper...

-You can plant garlic any time

-between October and April...

-..but you get a crop of a better

-After planting, these cloves need

-a month or two of cold weather...

-..to ensure a good development

-of the bulbs.

-The traditional belief is to plant

-garlic cloves before Christmas Day.

-Planting now means they are ready

-to be harvested from June onwards.

-This variety should survive

-into the following winter.

-The vampires out there

-should be very careful!

-Welcome back.

-We conclude today's programme

-with Lisa in the kitchen.

-The mince pies you made earlier

-were delicious.

-The crumble made it a little more

-sweeter.

-They were delicious though.

-The crumbles makes it sweeter.

-Next, we look at Christmas buns.

-I don't like mince pies and this

-is why I make Christmas buns.

-I'm going to be making bread.

-I'm using 400g

-of strong white bread.

-Add one teaspoon of yeast.

-Use one teaspoon of salt.

-In traditional bread,

-we would add olive oil.

-Add one tablespoon of butter.

-Rub the butter into the flour.

-I always use olive oil in bread,

-rather than butter...

-..but I use butter at Christmas.

-You'll need three tablespoons

-of caster sugar.

-Use 280ml of milk.

-It will mix all

-of the ingredients together.

-I can smell the yeast!

-I add a bit of milk in at a time.

-I'm going to mix this.

-It doesn't matter

-if it hasn't all been mixed.

-I want to get it into a ball.

-Just add a small amount of flour to

-stop it from sticking to the table.

-How long to do you knead it?

-You will need to leave it

-for about 5 minutes.

-I asked a child

-if they remembered putty...

-..and they said about hair wax.

-You know when this is ready,

-when it feels like elastic.

-You need to put it in a bowl.

-This was made 3 hours ago.

-This has doubled in size.

-You want it to raise over an hour.

-Three hours is too much.

-I want to remove the air from it.

-You can roll this now.

-I should have brought

-the children in today to do this.

-This makes a great base for a pizza.

-It can be difficult to get

-this pastry into shape.

-You will win in the end.

-You need to work it.

-You can see the yeast bubbles.

-This is where the Christmas touch

-comes in to it.

-We're going to add mincemeat

-to the different type of pastry.

-There is less mincemeat in this

-that you would find in a mince pie.

-Turn it over and be firm.

-You will need a greased tin.

-They look like Chelsea bins.

-These will need 30 minutes

-to rise in a hot kitchen.

-If you have a bread warming oven,

-then that is perfect.

-I tried to make them

-in the same of a Christmas tree.

-After making a mess,

-don't use water straight away...

-..use something like this to clean.

-I've come to mop up!

-Rhodri from Heno

-has joined us.

-I love mince pies.

-Once we buy them,

-we start to eat them.

-What delights are on Heno at 7.00pm?

-Stifyn Parry will

-be in the studio.

-He'll be chatting to us

-about his new show.

-Steffan Griffiths from the S4C

-weather team and our Daf Wyn...

-..have recently been

-on quite the adventure.

-They've been to the Everest

-base camp.

-Angharad deserves another one.

-I added a bit of icing to the top.

-You could also add some green

-or red sprinkles for Christmas.

-I love the sugar icing.

-How long do they last?

-You will need to eat these

-in one day.

-You could blitz them for a crumble.

-Good luck with the book launch.

-Prynhawn Da returns tomorrow at

-2.00pm with festive gift ideas.

-Lowri Steffan concentrates

-on Welsh homeware gifts.

-We also find out about a new

-campaign to collect gifts...

-..for children who will

-spend Christmas in hospital.

-Gwesty Parc y Stradey

-follows the news and weather on S4C.

-Goodbye.
