Pagan Feasts: Seasonal Food for the Eight Festivals
CozyLover avatar reviewed on + 335 more book reviews


Part grimoire, part cookbook, Pagan Feasts is an enchanting combination of delights for the senses. The recipes are simple, yet elegant. The seasonal associations thorough and intriguing.

Written in the UK, this tome offers a collection of recipes typically not found in other seasonal feast books. From mushrooms in cider batter for Mabon (Herfest), to Creme de Marrons for Yule, the dishes are enough to satisfy even the most discerning appetite.

The Celebratory information for east feast includes ritual suggestions, altar decorations, a bit of lore and herbal correspondences. The authors were quite thorough in their descriptions and have done a wonderful job of creating a book perfectly suited for guiding one through the hosting of a wonderful festal celebration.

I consider this book a must have for the kitchen witch, circle moderator or even for a family who likes to put a bit of flair into their meals.
