Amazon Customer: A really nice folklore cookbook!!!

Linda Early Kearney: Nice recipe book for Celts and people used to eating 'strange' dishes. Hubby wanted to try and make some of the recipes. Some are good and some I wouldn't feed to a bad neighbor. Ugh. If you like true Celtic cooking and stories this book is for you.

B. A. Maki: I liked the layout of the recipes and the well written directions.
The folklore is entertaining as well as educational in some instances. My nose is frequently in the book for one reason or another!

Mitchell: this book contains so many recipes, i am thrilled with it, lots of the foods my grandmother and ancestors from ireland and england would deeply enjoy cooking, i do understand the modernization of certain recipes, like ones that call for "corn" i mean, in the old days corn refered to small things, like peppercorns, where the name, corned beef comes from, so substituting an older harder to get ingredient for one that can do the same job isn't such a problem, in most of the recipes, you could exclude the corn anyway, if you want no new world ingredients, then i suggest you look to the book: an unexpected cookbook, the unofficial book of hobbit cookery, by chris-rachael oseland, it'd be a better fit, that said, this book contains hundreds of excellent recipes, and my only remaining question, is which recipe is that pie on the front, because i have a mighty need to make it

"jesco73": Ein ganz tolles Buch mit schönen Hintergrundgeschichten und klasse Rezepten, die wirklich anders sind, als die, die man ansonsten im Internet abrufen kann.

Cliente Amazon: Me lo compré como un capricho, y para probar alguna de las recetas, mientras me esfuerzo con el inglés. Llegó cuando dijeron, y en estado óptimo. Contenta con la compra.

Max: This arrived very quickly and is a very good book, even if you dont cook any of the recipies in it. A lot of the measurements are in Cups so I bought a set to go with it.

Katrelya A. Angus: Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally

As a Christian, I believe one of my responsibilities is to be respectful of other religions. This being said, I found the discussions on Wicca as enriching as the tales and the food, and I learned to appreciate the Wiccan culture which provided us with mistletoe in Advent and Christmas and the hot cross bun on Good Friday. As an American of Irish ancestry, I was fascinated with the Irish tales that accompany many of the recipes, some of which produced in me laughs as hearty as a good bowl of stew.

I found the recipes being grouped according to the Wiccan seasons helpful because it seems as if the Wiccans have a great respect for the earth and for agriculture; from Asala's perspective, food that may be appropriate Pentecost in May or June may not be so at around the time Christmas is celebrated and vice versa.

From a health perspective, many doctors, including my friend Arlene Alexander, M.D., the sister-in-law of InterVarsity's founder John Alexander, and Neal Barnard, M.D. have considered oatmeal very beneficial to one's heart, yet even when I was...

B. Marold: `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 no one except wannabe witches or druids make the lore in this book a part of their everyday life. But, that glib summary of our Celtic heritage today ignores two strong influences where Celtic lore still works on our psyches from behind centuries of misty influence.

The first and more subtle influence is the effect of Celtic lore on the placing of our Christian holidays. Practically every single Christian and Secular holiday, including Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Carnavale / Marti Gras, Lent, and Advent can be traced to the mapping of Christian doctrine onto the pre-existing Celtic agricultural calendar. One can almost feel the palpable shadow of great Stonehenge, that early instrument for tracking that calendar, weighing on our...
