Title: Fluffy Pseudo-Celtic Crap
Review: This book is yet another insult to Celtic culture, in disguise as a "cookbook". Some of these recipes aren't even Celtic, and the "ancient folklore" she cites has nothing to do with the recipes. The only vaguely valid recipes are the bannocks for certain holidays. Otherwise, it's just a conflagration of Neo-Wiccan nonsense. Even in the intro she tries to present some sort of Matriarchal Great Goddess story, and then associate the ancient Celts(how many times do we have to kill this myth before it dies?). The word "Celtic" is only in the title to win the favor of the gullible New Agey type. If you want a Celtic cookbook, go buy one. If you want a load of New Age tripe, go buy that. But for the sake of all that is holy, haven't the Celts suffered enough??
Is the review positive or negative?
