Experts to reimagine the food heritage of Wales at Narberth Food Festival

A nod to the past could offer answers when it comes to food sustainability and the future of Wales' rural communities.

That will be the theme when three food experts meet at Narberth Food Festival this month for a panel discussion on Reimagining the food heritage of Wales.

Author Carwyn Graves (Narberth Food Festival)

Carwyn said: “Wales has a rich and varied food heritage, encompassing everything from leeks to dairy, laver to defaid [sheep]. But we have slowly lost touch with many of our recipes and dishes - and perhaps not made the most of them.

In the light of the need for more sustainable diets and a flourishing future for rural communities, we will be asking how can our half-forgotten food heritage play a part?”

They were the first Welsh producers of Vermouth before expanding into Seaweed Gin and other products.

Chef and food advocate Jacqueline Ann Morgan (or Jam), of Karm'en Kafe in Carmarthen, was raised in a small fishing village and her work is inspired by the natural Welsh landscape and its heritage. As well as taking part in the panel discussion, Jacqueline will be demonstrating how to make pastry from oats and laverbread for a savory tart, and using heritage Welsh produce such as Towy Coracle caught Sewin, cockles, and marsh samphire.
