With years of restaurant and cookery demonstration experience behind her, Angela has worked across Europe and beyond in her culinary quest for fine food and has become one of the leading lights in the Welsh food scene. Now Angela wants to put Welsh produce – and Wales’ most glamorous locations – centre stage as she hits the road to share her passion for modern Welsh cuisine. “I’m so excited about the idea of taking cookery courses to different venues and what sensational venues they are,” said Angela. “They are historic buildings, sited in outstanding food producing areas making each course a never to be forgotten gastronomic experience where students will be able to learn the basics or build on their existing skills. We will offer various themed courses designed to be informative and fun – including foraging for seasonal ingredients, using seasonal produce grown in the gardens of the establishments as well as dining in the sumptuous surroundings of my chosen favourite locations”. Angela has chosen Slebech Park, a beautiful Georgian mansion house on the banks of the eastern Cleddau river in the heart of the Pembrokeshire National Park, near Haverfordwest; historic Fonmon Castle in the rural Vale of Glamorgan just outside Cardiff and Ffin y Park country house and art gallery in Llanrwst, in the majestic Snowdonia National Park. Slebech was chosen because of Angela’s long association with Pembrokeshire and the many fine food producers that are based in the area. The house is situated by the Cleddau estuary and is set in 600 acres of natural parkland. Slebech’s historic Dutch style walled garden will provide fresh ingredients for the cookery school. Geoffrey Phillips, the owner of Slebech House said: “We are delighted to be working with Angela, to create a really stimulating series of cookery classes at Slebech Park, where the relaxing environment and the magic of the kitchen gardens will inspire the greater culinary skills of all the participants”.
