A Thai-American hat seller has used her Bangkok heritage to launch to a new food business.
Yoga teacher Sherry Edwards was born in California and grew up in Thailand before moving to North Wales.
She ran a hat shop in Chester and before focusing on her online hat business.
Now though Sherry and her husband Tim are to set up a new tasty venture from their home in Penyffordd, Flintshire.
They have set up Bao Revolution, cooking stuffed Thai Bao buns with a range of fillings.
The large bread-like dumplings are steamed before being filled and enjoyed and have been a big hit as part of the street food explosion in the º£½ÇÊÓƵ's major cities.
Sherry says she is the first to bring the dish to North Wales and will be serving up her treats at Mold Food & Drink Festival on September 21 and 22.
Sherry, mum to Eira, five, and Khiri, nine, said: “I started Bao Revolution as there wasn’t enough Thai food in my area and I wanted to bring one of my favourite foods here.
"We are busy with the online hat shop, but I wanted to do something else too.
"I’m not one for sitting still, I love to cook, I’m proud of my Bangkok heritage and passionate about healthy street food, so Bao buns are a perfect business for me.
"They are really popular in the larger cities but yet to catch on in North Wales, so I’m looking forward to bringing them to Mold.â€
Mold Food & Drink Festival Co-chair Richard Howells said one of the festival’s aims was to support up-and-coming businesses.
He said: “Every year, a new business comes along that surprises and excites us, and this year it is Bao Revolution. This tremendous Thai treat will be a first for many festival-goers, buns packed with goodness and packing a punch.â€
