Celtic Folklore Cooking
Sabbats, festivals, and informal gatherings all have something in common--food. But choosing the right food for the occasion can be difficult.Celtic Folklore Cookingtakes the guesswork out of planning a feast, with plenty of sumptuous ideas for an entire meal, from soup to dessert and even drinks to accompany your food. (Consider baked trout for Beltaine or Lammas cookies for Lughnasadh.) Joanne Asala gathers generations-old recipes from Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, Ireland, and England, associates them with appropriate festivals and times of the year, then sprinkles a dash of folklore between them. Perhaps you would like to learn the 400-year-old "Song of Harvest Home" while making Marigold Buns.Celtic Folklore Cookingis like having centuries of Celtic tradition in your kitchen, and it will help you find just the right flavor for your festivities.--Brian Patterson
