Welcome to the Celtnet Drinks Recipes Home Page

Welcome to Celtnet's Drink Recipes Page — Drinks are probably the most ignored part of any meal. Especially as drinks can mean anything from a bottle of wine, an infusion such as tea, a decoction such as coffee or any of a variety of non-alcoholic beverages (iced tea, barley water) or alcoholic cocktails which can be as complex as you like. As a result, I'm giving drinks a category all their own, as well as providing recipes for ales, beers and meads in the brewing section of this website.

Here you will find a large range of recipes which do not fit into the 'ancient' theme of the remainder of the recipes on this site. In essence these recipes represent a sampling of the several thousand recipes that I've gathered, adapted and personally cooked over the years. Many of these recipes originate with University friends who helped engender my interest in world cuisine. Others come from exchanging recipes on the internet or going through recipe books to search for things that work (and things that don't) and are the results of my own experiments and modifications on these recipes. Yet others are things that I've tried and which turned out so well that I decided to write them up.

I have a passion for food and cookery that is (hopefully) bolstered by a formal scientific training that lets me know what's happening when food cooks. This is one reason why Roman cookery with it's balancing of salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami flavours is so fascinating (the same balancing is also present in Thai cuisine) and I want to bring this approach to the balancing of flavours to traditional Western and to fusion foods.

As well as the list of recipes presented below you can also fetch Modern and Traditional Drinks recipes by meal type via these links:
