In a medium pot, bring the water, potatoes, carrot, and celery to a low boil.

Meanwhile, mix the oil, garlic, leeks, onion, cornstarch/flour, salt, and pepper in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cornstarch browns. Stir into the stew.

Add the rest of the seasonings and allow to simmer over low heat until the potatoes and carrots are soft and the stew is thick.

½ cup sour cream ¼ tsp baking soda 1 egg, beaten ¼ cup oil 3 Tbsp milk ¼ cup honey 2 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt ½ cup chopped hazelnuts extra honey ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Stir together the baking soda and sour cream in a small bowl. Stir in the egg, oil, milk, and honey.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and stir until it is just moistened. Stir in the hazelnuts.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until it is together and smooth.

Place a piece of baking parchment on a baking sheet and place the dough on, pressing it into a large circle about 1” thick. Drizzle more honey on top, then sprinkle with nutmeg. Cut the circle into 8 or 12 wedges.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the slices and rearrange, then bake for 5 more minutes.

This is not a traditional Welsh laverbread recipe, but it is similar.

1 cup prepared laver, or nori sheets torn up and soaked in water until soft (drain off excess water) ¼ cup rolled oats ¼ cup corn meal or oat flour vegetable oil salt pepper malt vinegar

Stir together the laver/nori, oats, and corn meal. It should make a dough that holds together, and is not runny or extremely sticky.

Warm the oil in a pan for frying. Form the dough into thin patties about 2” across. Fry them for a few minutes on each side, until golden and crisp. Place on a wire rack over paper towels to drain off excess oil.

Serve sprinkled with salt, pepper, and vinegar.

Makes about 9 patties.

Where I live, it's a lot easier to find nori, seaweed that has been toasted and rolled flat in a sheet. It is the same species of the seaweed used in Wales, but it's been prepared differently. As stated in the recipe, you can just soak it in water to soften (only takes a minute or so) for good results.

kale oil salt pepper

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Wash the kale. Cut off the stems and cut the ribs out of the leaves. Cut the leaves into wide strips.

Pour some oil onto a baking sheet (a few tablespoons should suffice, although it depends on how much kale you have). Put the kale strips on the baking sheet, spreading them around and coating them with the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Try to have them spread out evenly and not overlapping a lot.

Bake for 3-8 minutes, until they are light and crispy. The time on this varies depending on how much you've made, so just check it after a few minutes.

For 3 loaves of bread: 1 ½ cups lukewarm water 1 ½ cups lukewarm milk or evaporated milk 1 ½ Tbsp yeast 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp salt ½ cup honey 5 Tbsp oil 6 2/3 cup whole wheat flour

For 1 loaf of bread: ½ cup lukewarm water ½ cup milk or evaporated milk ½ Tbsp yeast ½ Tbsp salt 3 Tbsp honey 1 ½ Tbsp oil 2 ¼ cup whole wheat flour

In a very large bowl with a lid, or some other lidded container, mix together the water, milk, yeast, salt, honey and oil.

Stir in the flour (without kneading it).

Cover it (not airtight) and let it sit for 2-3 hours, until the dough has risen and fallen.

Either use it now, or refrigerate it (with the lid on, but not airtight) to make several loaves of dough throughout the week. It's easier to handle when it's cold.

When you want to bake it, scoop out about 1.5 lbs of dough (the size of a cantaloupe, or about 1/3 of the dough). Have your hands be wet with water to prevent the dough from sticking. Form the dough into a ball. Place the ball of dough into a greased loaf pan (it should fill the pan just over halfway). Let the dough rest/rise for 1 hour 40 minutes-2 hours.

Coat the top of the dough with flour and cut slashes into it. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place the loaf into the middle of the oven, with another pan on the side with some hot water in it. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until very brown and firm.

Let cool completely before slicing, to prevent crumbling.
