I hope you're all safe and well - surviving the most recent lockdown and making the most of the sunshine. I've been busy delivering online courses as well as testing new recipes which I'm so excited to share with you.
This newsletter is packed with news and also two delicious recipes - Welsh Cakes and Brecwast Cymraeg!
I hope to return to delivering courses from my home in the Summer and have included some dates below. Please rest assured that if the course is cancelled, you will be able to rebook for a course in the future. If you have any questions - please get in touch: kate@lamusechezkate.com. 07976 639 352.
I've included one of my most popular recipes on the course and thought it was appropriate to share it on St David's Day! This recipe can be found in my book www.frommountaintosea.co.uk which is available online. I hope you enjoy....
These welsh cakes are slightly different to the traditional sweet version… but you cook them in exactly the same way and they are delicious as a savoury treat/canape with drinks (especially if served warm, straight from the bakestone). You’ll need to use the olives in brine as they won’t lose their colour in the mixture.
Welsh cakes
175 g self-raising flour
1 teasp baking powder
80 g welsh salted butter
50 g grated strong cheddar
50 g finely chopped black olives in brine
50 g chopped pancetta or lardons (optional)
1 egg
A little milk
1 teasp dried thyme
½ teasp cayenne
½ teasp cumin
½ teasp Malden salt
Heat a maen (griddle/bakestone) very slowly and lightly butter.
Mix all the dry ingredients with the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs, add the rest of the dry ingredients followed by the egg and a little milk - mix until it becomes a ball.
Roll out to 5 mm thick and cut out into shapes or rounds.
Arrange the Welsh cakes on the maen and cook slowly for about 15-20 minutes turning regularly until golden and cooked through.
If you would like to book an ONLINE course for a group/team - please complete the form via the following link...
These courses are great fun and a really lovely way to engage those who cannot physically come together for meetings or social events.
These courses can be hosted at a date and time to suit you and your team - we advise an evening so everyone can relax with a glass of something and eat what they have created.
"I’m delighted to be able to keep sharing the pleasures of cooking during lockdown. I love teaching my classes and even though it isn’t the same as having people in my kitchen, these online classes are proving to be a great alternative.
I think we all need a bit of a boost at the moment, and I hope these classes bring a bit of fun, variety and enjoyment into people’s lives."

Wild garlic is now ripe for the picking! I made some delicious wild garlic pesto and tomato canapes, plus some extra special welsh rarebit delights. Do you want the recipe? You'll have to come on a course!
