It’s just as well we managed to put our feet up over the Christmas break because they’ve barely touched the ground since returning!! As part of a wider series of events taking place in London to celebrate St David’s Day and on behalf of the Welsh Government, HFC are co-ordinating a St David’s Day True Taste Market on London’s Southbank, 2 – 4 March 2012. The Market will feature 20 Welsh food and drink producers alongside the True Taste Truck (aka True Taste Kitchen!!) which will include cookery demos by Chefs from across Wales as well as the opportunity to sample Welsh produce available to buy in London and the South East. Watch this space for more details… We will also be promoting Wales to London’s great and good at BAFTA’s home, 195 Piccadilly. Working alongside the BAFTA caterers HFC will develop a menu showcasing the best of Welsh food and drink to 200 specially invited guests. So, watch out London, the Welsh are coming!!
Other exciting projects in the pipeline include trade events in Brussels, Singapore and Spain. Time to brush up on our linguistic skills! Nerys is busy collecting and recording some old family recipes as part of The People's Collection, (www.peoplescollectionwales.co.uk – a collection of pictures, documents, audio, videos, stories and memories contributed to by the people of Wales, all gathered on one website) for a mini series on S4C's Wedi 3 programme which will be aired on January 20th, February 3rd and 17th

So, two down and one to go…! The BBC Good Food Show at the Birmingham NEC was a great success with over 5,500 True Taste magazines distributed and hundreds attempting the True Taste quiz with Quiz Master Rhodri Williams – although some of the answers were shocking to say the least! The Winter Fair in Builth Wells was a staggering 28˚C warmer this year than the snow covered showground in 2010! However, the snow was replaced this year by wind and rain but certainly didn’t dampen people’s appetites as the Food Hall was bustling with visitors over the two days. The ever popular cookery demonstrations by Nerys Howell, Dudley Newbery and Llansantffraed Court Hotel’s Head Chef Peter Lias offered the audiences a variety of Christmas recipes and tips, while Deiniol ap Dafydd offered up suggestions on which cheese to serve with which wine, beer or cider. We’ve got no excuses now! So, on to the Taste of Christmas in London! Three days of sampling True Taste award winning food and drink, Elwen from Meat Promotion Wales will be preparing recipes with Welsh lamb in the Kitchen, and we will be joined by three True Taste producers, Baravelli’s from Llandudno, Black Mountains Smokery and Pemberton’s Chocolates. Who knows, we may even throw in a quiz or two for fun!!
