A TRUE TASTE OF WALES
 
The latest catalogue produced by the Welsh Books Council will give the readers a true taste of some great books from Wales.
 
The publication Cookery Books from Wales has been specially produced to promote a selection of English and Welsh-language titles reflecting the growing interest in food produce from Wales.
 
As well as books by TV chefs Angela Gray, Dudley Newbery and Ena Thomas, the booklet also includes a number of books of traditional Welsh recipes, from Anglesey Eggs to Bara Brith.
 
‘We are confident that this new publication will bridge an obvious gap in the market,’ said Elwyn Williams on behalf of the Books Council, ‘and that it will promote sales of the excellent material that is available in both languages.’ 
 
This latest catalogue is part of a series produced by the Council’s Outreach Scheme to promote books from Wales and follows the catalogues promoting Books from Wales and Welsh Language Novels.  The next publication will be published in March and will feature titles associated with Dylan Thomas, contributing towards the celebrations held this year to mark the death fifty years ago of the Swansea-born poet.
