Μύ"Every dish is a food ambassador for Wales. So I'm looking for dishes with a distinctive Welsh identity, always using terrific Welsh produce and perhaps reflecting Welsh culinary traditions too. Most importantly it must also be great plate of food that would sit happily on a restaurant menu in a notable restaurant".
