Celtnet Weekly Recipe Selection — Weekly Choice of Recipes





Welcome to Celtnet's Weekly Recipe Selections Page — The site has become large and sprawling, now with over 17 500 recipes in all, divided into many sub-sections. As a result I've been persuaded to create this special page. Here you will find a selection of 100 recipes drawn randomly from across the entire site that's updated each and every week. Typically you will find a random selection of recipes here, but every now and then (near Christmas for example) the recipes will be drawn from a particular, theme, country, region or historical era. The aim is to let you get a feel for the kinds of recipes presented on this site and maybe to let you see something new that you would like to try at home for your selves.

Each and every recipe here is reviewed, annotated, ammended and updated by me. It takes me several hours each evening to get the following day's recipes ready and uploaded to the database. The I've had to design the site and write all the code for it. It takes me 60+ hours work a week to keep it running. As you can see, I do run advertising here, but the income is not huge and most of it is ploughed back into keeping the site running and into extending. So, if you find this site useful and if you use the recipes from it please consider making a donation. You should also check-out my eBook store where you can find a whole range of recipe eBooks at very reasonable prices.



As well as this page, giving a sampling of the recipes from the site, you can also find all the latest recipe additions to the site on the newest recipe additions page of the site. Typically this is updated with 40 new recipes every Monday and Friday. Check the page out to see what's been added this week!

I put in the effort here because it makes a difference to others' lives. Please help me keep going by supporting the campaign... I get over half a million visitors every month. If only 1 in 10 gave 50-cents to the campaign that could completely transform so many peoples' lives. So please think about making a donation... It will help motivate me to give you more recipes and information for free. Or, why not link to us? Just copy the following code to your website: <a href="http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/">Celtnet Recipes — World Wide Recipes for all</a>.

Site Updates

The Forme of Cury 1390 Cookbook
For the first time the 14th century (1390) English cookbook, The Forme of Cury has been made available on the web in an HTML-based facsimily version with a side-by-side update/translation to modern English. Here you will find all the recipes from the The Forme of Cury cookbook, the oldest cookbook in the English language along with a number of modern redactions.

Grilling and Barbecue Recipes
Summer is here and, for once even the British weather is good. As a result I've extended and improved the Barbecue and Grilling Recipes section with a range of new recipes from across the globe. Here you will find recipes for outdoor cooking from many cultures and places across the globe. Find ideas to make your barbecue interesting and different this year (now includes classic American recipes). Don't forget to marry your barbecue dishes with salads and cold drinks.

Guide to Edibe Seaweeds Added
A new guide to edible seaweeds (sea vegetables, as they are called in the USA) has been added to the site, detailing 11 edible Atlantic seaweed species along with descriptions and links to recipes featuring these plants. This has now been updated with the addition of serrated wrack and associated recipes and now is the time to pick these delicous and nutritious vegetables.

Guide to Edible Wild Mushrooms Added
The guide to edible mushrooms and fungi on the Celtnet Recipes site has been extended with even more seasonal wild fungi and now details 22 edible fungi along with descriptions and links to recipes featuring these wild foods. Now is the time to begin foraging for these delicious wild foods.

Duck and Goose Recipes
With the Yuletide season upon us, and now only a week away, a new section of classic, traditional and global recipes incorporating duck and goose and primary ingredients has been added. This supplements the site's collection of Christmas Recipes and provides new ideas for cooking waterfowl.

Recipes for Stuffings and Forcemeats
With Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approaching, the decision has to be made to split the condiment and jams recipes into sections. The first one of these is the stuffings and forcemeats page that gives recipes for stuffings from across the globe and for different kinds of fowl. This supplements the site's collection of Christmas Recipes and provides new ideas for stuffing Christmas meats such as turkey, goose and pork.

Recipes from Algeria
As part of this site's North African Recipes section, the list of Algerian recipes has now been extended so that there are over 60 traditonal recipes available.

Recipes for Condiments
With Christmas only a week away, the condiments section of the website has been split away from the jams and sauces pages. In modern usage, a condiment is relish, sauce or seasoning added to food to impart a particular flavour that complements a dish. Condiments include salt and black pepper (or flavoured variants thereof), sauces and ketchups, pungent accompaniments such as horseradish and chilli sauces or salsas, relishes and chutneys. This supplements the site's collection of Christmas Recipes and provides new ideas for stuffing Christmas meats such as turkey, goose and pork.

Recipes for Preserves and Chutneys
With Christmas only a week away, the preserves, pickles and chutneys section of the website has been split away from the jams and sauces pages. These are all methods for preserving fruit and vegetables, typically in vinegar flavoured with spices for storage over winter. Many such preserves, most notably chutneys and spiced preserves, are used during the Christmas and Festive period. As a result, this section supplements the site's collection of Christmas Recipes and provides new ideas for stuffing Christmas meats such as turkey, goose and pork.

Recipes and Cookery Articles Section
As a continuation of our efforts to make the Celtnet Recipes site the premier site for recipes and recipe information, we have now added a new recipe and cookery articles and reviews section to the site, were you can submit your own recipe articles and writings as well as seeing some of the best recipe writing on the web.

West African Vegetarian Pepper Soup with Black-eyed Bean Cakes

By gwydion | Published 2008-02-05 20:12:08 | 2008 Recipes and Cookery Articles |

Recipe Information: 5

The recipe here for moy-moy with pepper soup gives a vegetarian version of the classic West African 'pepper soup' (chilli-based stew). The moy-moy (or steamed black-eyed bean cakes) represent a Nigerian classic that's typically steamed in banana or plantain leaves. I've adapted the recipe to make them more muffin-like (which is better in terms of providing a substantial vegetarian meal).
