Top chefs and food producers from across the area will be sharing their passion for locally sourced quality ingredients later this month.
St Dogmaels miller Emma Williams and baker Gabriele Landi are among those offering talks and demonstrations as part of the menu of delights being served up at Narberth Food Festival on September 28 and 29.
Top of the talking agenda is ensuring sustainable and quality food production locally.
Emma, a second-generation miller, took over Y Felin Watermill from her father Michael Hall in 2018.
Mr Hall renovated the building in 1979 and successfully milled there for nearly four decades.
His daughter said: “Y Felin is a completely water driven mill powered entirely from the water in our mill pond, using the traditional methods which are centuries old.
“Like my father before me, I pride myself in sourcing only British grain as locally as possible to mill at Y Felin.”
Also based at the watermill, Gabriele Landi runs a microbakery, Crossbread Bakery, focusing on the use of local grains to bake “nutritious and honest bread’.
He said: “The biggest challenge I am facing is how to make healthy food accessible to everyone, and supporting a local network of producers at the same time.”
They will both be talking in the festival’s Food Theatre at 3pm on Saturday, September 28.
Returning to the festival for another year will be renowned chef Ludo Dieumegard, head chef of the Harbourmaster, Aberaeron.
Hs passion for cooking began at a young age when he wanted to make food interesting for his mother, who was diagnosed with Leukaemia.
She was a keen cook who loved to entertain and his time with her in the kitchen sparked a hugely successful career working in top kitchens and even an appearance on the TV series Masterchef - The Professionals.
Ludo, who lives with his family in Crymych, was once described as “a magician with food” by well-known food critic Jay Rayner.
Holly Robinson, of Narberth Food Festival committee, said: “We are delighted to once again have Ludo with us in the festival kitchen on our Sunday when we also welcome back two other festival favourites, broadcaster and writer Angela Gray and author and chef Simon Wright.
"They are always entertaining to watch in action and have a wealth of knowledge to share.
“All of our guests, chefs, producers and traders take great pride in their work and like nothing more than talking food and helping people discover new ways of doing things.
“We have another great line-up and cannot wait to welcome people to what is sure to be another enjoyable festival of live music, entertainment and food.”
Narberth Food Festival is being held on September 28 and 29 at the Town Moor, Narberth.
Two park and ride schemes will be in operation across the weekend, including one from the town primary school. Take the Narberth exit from the A40 Penblewin roundabout and head towards the town.
The festival features two days of live music, 40 plus food stalls, street food, entertainment, talks, demonstrations, bar and more.
Entry costs £5 on the gate each day. Children free.
