Hazel cooks up a festive treat
TV chef Hazel Thomas cooked up a festive feast to tantalise the tastebuds of shoppers at Carmarthen market.
Hazel, who is a regular face on S4C, used fresh, local ingredients from the market to make some mouthwatering meals for Christmas
Shoppers enjoyed a number of dishes including a hearty vegetable broth, Welshcakes with a Christmas twist of dates and cranberries and apples with a toffee sauce to die for.
Council waste awareness officers were also there to encourage residents to reduce their food waste as part of the Love Food Hate Waste campaign.
In a normal week, a family of four throws away £12 on food. But given the size of the typical Christmas shopping trolley, the amount of money we waste during the last week of December is likely to be much more. A few simple changes however can make a big difference to your festive food bills and the environment.
Hazel said: “The market is a great place to do your food shopping, especially at Christmas, it has everything you need all under one roof and it’s fresh and locally produced.”
The event was organised by Carmarthenshire County Council. Another cooking demonstration will be held at the market on Wednesday, December 15 with Lisa Fearn from Pumpkin Patch.
