Rarebit & rioja

A volume full of delicious recipes made with the best Welsh ingredients, ideal for anyone interested in wine, food, cooking, and traveling. Dylan and Llinos Rowlands took over La Petite Auberge in Dolgellau in 1988. After a year, they changed the restaurants name to Dylanwad Da (Good Influence) and the wine-selling side of the business to Dan y Dylanwad (Under the Influence), to reflect both their passion for wine and the many world influences at play in their menu. Dylan grew up travelling. His curiosity remains insatiable and he continues to travel particularly around Europe, seeking out small, family-run vineyards to supply wines for his wine bar and shop. Many of his suppliers have become akin to friends, and we hear their stories and their histories.
