This book has some interesting recipies, though they are interspersed with bits and pieces of Celtic lore. Cook beware, however, as I know at least one of the non-redacted "old" recipes contains wormwood, which is a neurotoxin. Check your ingredient lists carefully to ensure everyone enjoys safely, as the dangerous bits are not labeled as to the care that should be taken. ( ) A collection of really yummy recipes also labeled according to what Celtic/Pagan holiday they're traditionally made for. I've tried out quite a few that I brought to our gatherings and they've always been a hit! (well, okay.. the Hot Cross Buns were somewhat dull). And, omg.. the Shepherds Pie.. you have never had it this good. /8) It would get a higher rating if it had some pictures, but alas, we can't have everything. :-) no reviews | add a review
