Maith Ailineighdaeth! A new #book is on the way!

Maith Ailineighdaeth and Happy Frewyn New Year to all!

There are many new books coming in the new year, including a new Baba story, a new Galleisian tale, and Martje's very own cookery book, replete with recipies (or receipts) from the castle keep. This is a book I've wanted to have done for sometime. The book will also include a few dishes from the northern continent and all the making methods.

Below is one of the items in the book: Karnwyl peat cake, as explained by Martje:

"Peat cake, or gurry cake as it's called in Westren and parts of Hallanys, ain't made with turf, though it might have more nutrition if it were. It does look like a guggin, though, when it's cut, but it don't taste half as bad as it looks. Sure looks like a bit 'o the mallacht, but if made right, has a lovely ginger taste and will keep you th'while. Traditionally, the outsiders are made from leftover ginger loaf, not sweet, 'cause they don't get much sugar in Karnwyl. Tastes a bit more of a spice: ginger, nutmeg, and all. The fillin's with chestnut butter, stewed apples, orange peel, and suet, to give it a texture. The ginger loaf is simply eggs, apple cider, buckwheat honey, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, fine flour. Good enough for a Karnwyl cake anyhow.
