      Book Overview

      A treasury of delectable recipes, Celtic Folklore Cooking by Joanne Asala will help you select foods to serve at your celebrations of the Sabbats and Esbats: the festivals and ritual times for Witches and Wiccans. It is also a terrific introduction to Celtic culture. The recipes in this book were gathered during four trips the author took to Ireland and Britain, as well as visits to Scotland and Wales. She searched for people who still cooked in the traditional of their ancestors, passing down recipes from generation to generation. The result is a book that is rich in Celtic tradition. And the foods are delicious any time, too Like a well-stocked larder, Celtic Folklore Cooking offers plenty of tempting choices for daily meals or special celebrations. Pick from more than 200 tasty traditional dishes, all nestled among colorful food-related proverbs, poems, tales, customs, and other nuggets of folk wisdom. Each recipe lists ancient and modern holidays associated with the dish so you can select the perfect fare to complement the season. Recipes include: Mushroom and Scallop Pie Heather Wine Pratie Oaten Beestings Pancakes Hot Cross buns Figgy Pudding Boxty on the Griddle Barm Brack Sweet Scones Scotch Eggs Colcannon Cockle Soup Flower Pudding Flummery Mead The ancient Celts celebrated their Sabbats with music, dance, games, food, and drink. Whether you are a solitary practitioner or a part of a larger group, food and drink should always be a part of your festivities, rituals, and ceremonies. This book can be the key to a wide variety of foods that will make you the talk of the town If you are involved in Celtic traditions, this book is a must. If you simply like unique recipes for foods that are as tasty today as they were hundreds, even thousands of years ago, you'll want this book, too.

      Evocative Culinary Connection for Celts and Christianity. Buy It

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      `Celtic Folklore Cooking' by culinary writer and folklorist, JoAnne Asala of Chicago is truly unique among the 500 some cookbooks I have reviewed over the last two and a half years. The only books that come close to it in combining spiritual and culinary worlds are the books on Jewish Holiday cooking. In some ways, Ms. Asala's book deals with things which are less alive today than the very active world of Judaism, since virtually...

      Best tasting reading from kitchen to bedroom

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      With a delicious pinch of wry wit, a dollop of common sense, a large measure of Irish legend and enough flavor to fill the countryside, Joanne Asala has captured the sweet treasure at the end of the rainbow in Celtic Folklore Cooking. From the rich simplicity of Apples in Red Wine for Samhain to Marigold Pudding to celebrate Midsummer, she's created a charming, earthy, melt-in-your-mouth compendium of exquisite recipes that...

      Tastey stick-to-your-ribs food and richhistory

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Absolutely wonderful. I love this book, and everything I have tried out of it has been a smashing success. If you are born again, or object to Pagan references I recommend you look elsewhere, the food is good, but there are pagan references and history of culture that you will not apreciate. For everyone else, understand, this book is full (and I do mean FULL) of recipes from our (Celtic) forfathers, and some from our contemporaries...

      A Feast for the Spirit as Well as the Stomach

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I'll say right off the bat that this will be a book you'll either love or hate. There isn't another cookbook quite like it, so it's really hard to make comparisons. I personally think its terrific, and my coven has used it on a number of occasions. We've had good luck with the citrus curd, crescent moon rolls, soda bread, tea brack, and baked trout among others. Yum! Asala has taken on the gargantuan task of suggesting...
