Customer Reviews

A wealth of information and recipes
"Celtic Folklore Cooking" is a treasure chest of information for anyone who is interested in learning about the Celtic hoilday/festival traditions. Asala has done her homework, and shares her wealth of knowledge in an accessible, well organized style. I love to take cookbooks and a cup of tea to bed, just before bedtime, and this is a perfect cookbook for doing just that. Lots of unusual recipes, and great stories with background information.

Unfortunately, this book is not for me.
The book has wonderful folk tales and proverbs. Some of the recipes looked fabulous, and I did want to try them. If you're looking for a cookbook with Celtic folktales and a strictly historical look at Celtic paganism, this book is not for you. While there are often references to Christianity in the course of discussing Celtic traditions, some Christians may find selected portions of the text overt and unwelcome. If, however, you are a pagan at heart, you will likely find this book a keeper.
