Book of Feasts and Seasons

For a Catholic family, what could be better. Great traditions, religious ceremonies explained, with excellent recipes.

I came across Mrs. Bogle's TV program "Feasts and Seasons" by chance one recent afternoon. Found her so interesting as she explained the making of an Advent Wreath and of some traditional foods for Christmas that I just had to buy this book. It is written in the same friendly style as she speaks. I've enjoyed the information about each feast day in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church. It's interesting to read the history of the various foods and traditions.

This is a great addition to your cookbook library if, like me, you are greedy for ideas on integrating the Catholic liturgical year into your family life and traditions. It will be of particular interest to those with British heritage, as it explains many customs and provides recipes peculiar to Irish, Scottish, Welsh, but especially English traditions.
