Welcome. Croeso.
Hiya, I'm Ross and this is my newsletter, the Welsh Kitchen – a space dedicated to Welsh food and drink culture both in Wales and around the world.
I started the newsletter for three main reasons. Firstly, it was lockdown number two in the UK and my work as a travel writer was pretty non-existent apart from a few bits about Wales. The thing is, I miss writing when I'm not doing it, and I needed an outlet for my words. The second reason was my inability to find much in the way of Welsh food and drink writing. And thirdly, I love food, and while I do write about food and wine too, I seldom get to chat Welsh food. And so, the newsletter was born. Back then it was a weekly for the first year, but thankfully borders opened up and my work took off (pun intended) again.
My aim for the Welsh Kitchen is to showcase the best of Welsh gastronomy and the culture surrounding it, champion Welsh producers and businesses, and to generally make some noise about how wonderful the Welsh food scene is.
If you know someone who might be interested in reading the Welsh Kitchen, feel free to forward the newsletter on to them. And if you like what you read and fancy buying me a virtual cuppa and a Welsh cake to help support my writing, you can do so here.
About me

I also work as a host for brands and I’m the regular presenter of the Wine & Spirits Theatre at the National Geographic Traveller Food Festival. I’m a member of both the British Guild of Travel Writers and the Guild of Food Writers, and I’m a regular judge for the Guild of Fine Food’s Great Taste awards, as well as the British Guild of Beer Writers awards among others. I hold the WSET Level 2 in wines.
