Welcome to the Celtnet Recipes Home Page

Welcome to Celtnet Recipes — Here you will find thousands of recipes, all catalogued and indexed. In addition you will have access to rcipe-related articles and the recipe discussion forums of this site. As you will note, the site is gaining a new 'look and feel', mostly as it has grown so much that it requires a massive overhaul. Please be patient as the canges slowly trickle through the site. I am hoping that all these changes will serve to make your visit a more pleasant and interesting one. This page is a portal to the recipes site as a whole. From here you will be able to search the recipes site, get a taste of the articles already written and see a selection of the posts submitted. If you want to browse the recipes then simply click on one of the recipe categories below. I have catalogued the recipes here by meal type, ingredient type, historical period and region of the world. The total number of recipes has now broken the 6000 entry barrier (with African recipes, British Recipes and Wild Food Recipes being the speciality) and there are now 6075 recipes in the database with almost 100 recipes are added every week, so come back often!

As the first page of my recipe site this page gives you a portal into the remainder of the recipe site. The site itself is undergoing a huge re-shaping and I'm hopig to make it far more navigable... So that it's easier for you to find the recipes you need. With over 6000 recipes now in the database (and growing weekly) that's not an easy task.
