What's it about? With a childhood spent foraging and learning to make flapjacks and nettle soup, followed by a life of touring as a musician around the world and delighting in the delicious local delicacies discovered along the way, a love for food and cooking has always been at the heart of Cerys Matthew’s experiences. Cerys’ cookbook debut is the long-awaited exploration of her culinary learnings around the globe, celebrating the flavours and ingredients that accompanied the music, poetry, and local culture she discovered during her travels, and the recipes she took home with her to recreate in her own London kitchen, where she cooks every day.
