Notes about this book

  • kbrooks on July 15, 2025

    Name Day Breakfast, pg.131. All the breakfast flavors in one dish. I eliminated the teaspoon of water and made this as a frittata, cooking on the stove top just until barely set and finishing in a 400F oven. Also added some cheddar cheese with the ham and bacon.

    Marmalade Loaf,pg.103. Very dense loaf.Delicious.Took longer to bake: 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

    Colcannon, pg. 199. Made as written. Nice sturdy side. Didn't add the ring, coin, stick, pea and thimble. ??

    Tossed Eggs with Shallots, pg.129 Nice fresh flavor with all the fresh herbs. I add a splash of milk or cream when I whisk the eggs.

    Ham with Cream, pg. 294. This looks a bit weird/curdled when it comes out of the oven, but it tastes wonderful.

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 traditions 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

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!
