You are wholeheartedly welcome, my very dear friend. I suspect that you’re going to absolutely adore this awesome collection of Celtic recipes swirled with charming, fascinating folklore, folk wisdom and (folk/traditional) proverbs.

It is terrific that your library was/is able to get this book in for you. Please don’t hesitate to share your own thoughts on Celtic Folklore Cooking with me anytime. I’m all ears! (Or would that be “all eyes” when chatting online?)

Thank you very much, lovely Anesha. It really is a terrific book – not only for the wealth of tasty recipes it houses, but also for the treasure trove of folklore, history, and proverbs/sayings this title includes as well.

If you should ever have the chance to pick up or borrow a copy, I suspect that you’ll really enjoy Celtic Folklore Cooking as well.

Thank you very much, sweet Vicki – both for your lovely comment and for sharing that you are no stranger to the “November blues”, so to speak, as well.

Mercifully, they didn’t impact me too hard this year – though I suspect that stemmed in part from a number of rather substantial issues that have arisen this month, including the fact that a big chunk of our province was hit by horrific flooding.

Thank the stars above, our area hasn’t suffered too severely from the flooding, but BC as a whole is reeling massively. The damage is extensive and will take a long time to rebuild from – including part of one of the province’s largest highways that was utterly demolished.

On a much more upbeat note, while now wearing a cloak of snow, fall is still here in some ways around our wee town and I’m continuing to savour each precious, fleeting moment of it.

I hope that your November is going positively and that thoughts of next October are helping to make the passing of this year’s a bit easier to bear.

Tons of hugs & heartfelt understanding,
🖤 Autumn

Thank you sweetly, dear Ivana. This is a wonderfully charming and informative book.

I hope that you’re able to track it down and that you enjoy it every bit as much as I long have. IMO, it is a stellar introduction to Celtic cookery – both from centuries past and more recent times as well.

Big hugs coming your way,
🖤 Autumn

You are thoroughly welcome, my dear friend and fellow culinary arts enthusiast.

I highly suspect that you would enjoy this captivating look at some of the history, folklore and recipes of the Celtic lands – especially if you’re keen on classic comfort food.

Thank you so much, my lovely friend and fellow autumn adoring soul.

It genuinely touches me deeply when someone finds that my writing resonates with them so much they quote a part of it.

We were treated to a very pretty start of November. Not the warmest ever, but it still had a lot of early fall’s sparkle to it. In true Canadian fashion though, winter soon came calling and we’re now back to shovelling snow like it was an all-out Olympic event. 😄

Even still though, subtle elements of autumn remain. Their voices may be growing quieter under an ever thicker blanket of snowflakes, but they have not gone silent again entirely.

I hope that your November is going wonderfully and that you have a really beautiful, safe, enjoyable tail end of our beloved fall time.

Thank you very much, dear Tammy. I really appreciate your lovely memory and that you shared with me about the vintage cookbook that came down to you via your DH’s grandma. What an awesome family heirloom to receive and get to enjoy throughout the years.

Prior to the arson fire we experienced back in 2016, I had a fairly decent sized collection of vintage and antique cookbooks and recipe booklets. Rebuilding it hasn’t really been possible for me yet and I accept that may never happen. I still love and enjoy vintage recipe sources every bit as much as did before the fire though and am thankful that some older recipes can be found online these days.

Giant hugs & the happiest of late fall time wishes coming your way in return.

Thank you abundantly, sweet Meg. What a beautiful and delicious culinary upbringing to experience.

My heart, soul, and taste buds alike adore Scottish (and Celtic in general) cuisine. It is so warming and satisfying, while also feeling truly familiar to me – even though I myself was not raised on it.

I adore that you continue to use a classic farmhouse cookbook. Thank you for sharing that special fact with me. 💗

🖤 Autumn

Thank you very much for your terrific comment, my fellow gluten eschewing soul.

Happiest birthday month wishes! I adore that another point we share in common is being water signs (Cancer and Scorpio, respectively). I tend to get on awesomely + connect deeply with Scorpios, so it does not surprise me at all that this is your sign.

While a good many recipes in this book do include gluten, as a fellow Celiac fighter I have rarely run into issues substituting gluten-free alternatives in their place.

Even, however, as touched on in my review, one were to never make a single recipe from Celtic Folklore Cooking, the wealth of culinary, historical, and folklore information it houses makes a joyful read and well worth a spot on many peoples’ bookshelves.

Speaking of which, thank you very much for your lovely reading recommendation. I sincerely appreciate it and will bump Seasons of a Magickal Life (which I have been eyeing for numerous months now) much higher up my to read list.

Your literary recommendations and reviews are always appreciated, so please feel free to share others here with me anytime you desire.

Many hugs & the bevy of the very sweetest, most positive b-day month wishes coming your way!

🖤 Autumn
