Recipies
Here's the page for goodies. I've tried to group things together so you can find
things by category--unlike my own recipie file....I've also included some
general suggestions for stuff to cook on particular holidays, in case anyone's
looking for what's traditional. As always, this page needs your suggestions,
contributions, and feedback.

Holiday Cooking Suggestions
Samhain: This harvest holiday is a good time for any
root vegetable recipies and most breads. The "Mash of Nine
Things" and soul cakes are among the traditional items served.
Winter Solstice: This one's easy: any Christmas recipies
will do. A lot of them are holdovers from old Solstice
celebrations anyway.
Imbolc: I'm not as sure about this one. Does anyone have
any to share?
Beltane: It's the spring festival, I imagine any in-season
early foods would be appropriate. Anyone have recipies to share?
Lugnasadh: This is the early harvest festival as opposed to
Samhain, which marks the end of the harvest. Anything made with
seasonal berries is traditional.
