Welshfoodie

Welsh Foodie, Ken Thorne, born in Village of Sgiwen (Skewen), Wales is passionate about Welsh and Celtic Food, whether it is Ancient Recipes, Traditional Food or Modern Welsh. Ken is inspired to cook, teach and write about Welsh and Celtic food. His inspiration is fueled by the 'Modern Welsh Cooking or Coginio Cymreig Cyfoes' of Wales's present day award winning chefs.

As Food & Restaurant Editor of the Ninnau -- The North American Welsh Newspaper®, Ken each month provides a recipe - which he has tested. He also offers cook's notes. A companion background story accompanies each recipe. The plated dish is photographed as part of each article - albeit in black and white in the Ninnau. Here, you can view in full color.

Ken likes to talk about Welsh food and likes to teach. At the invitation of a prestigious cooking school in Ohio he taught a class that effectively became a revitalization of the Cleveland area St. David’s Day Dinner Celebration. Class attendees seemed to show great enthusiasm for each of the cooking demonstrations of the five courses served. A background story and history on each dish was much appreciated by the class. To the surprise of many, a class member played her harp while a core group sung Welsh choral music. Ken plates loin of lamb entree course. Photo: John Thorne.
