Mair's roots are deep in the heart of the Ceredigion countryside. She was raised on Brynchwith farm, Llangwyryfon. Without moving far from her original home, Mair threw herself into the local community by attending the Young Farmers Club and the Women's Institute. There she learnt, listened and noticed all the diferent recipies and adapted them for the Welsh kitchen. Since 1994, Mair has faithfully served the listeners of Radio Ceredigion every week. You can hear her voice and imagine her smile on Meinir Ann's show every Wednesday afternoon.
