The 52-page culinary guide to Wales, sponsored by Food and Drink Wales, is out now — included free of charge with the November issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK).

This special publication gives readers the lowdown on this blossoming, confident culinary destination, with a focus on both classic dishes and modern menus, the dining revolution taking place in capital Cardiff and the passionate producers and talented chefs elevating Welsh cuisine to new heights.

Glen Mutel, editor of Food by National Geographic Traveller (UK), said: “When it comes to food and drink, a destination’s culture and traditions are so often intertwined with its landscape — but somehow, this feels especially true of Wales. It’s never been a land suited to mass production. Instead, it’s a country that excels in high-quality ingredients, lovingly produced, be they farmed or foraged, reared or refined.

“This is the story of these ingredients: how they’ve been used historically; how they’re being cherished and protected; and how they’re being taken in exciting new directions.”
