Pagan Inspired Food & Some Recipes (sort of)
Because paganism is a wide umbrella of beliefs and customs, there are unlimited ingredients and recipes that you can incorporate into your Sabbat and holiday celebrations.
Here’s a short list of common foods associated with Wheel of the Year Sabbats, starting with the next Sabbat, Ostara:
Ostara -Eggs, honey, sprouted greens, baked goods, asparagus
Beltane - Dairy foods, honey, oats, mead, lamb
Litha - Honey, elderberry, strawberry, fennel, thyme, fresh greens, mead, light wines
Lughnasadh - Grapes, wine, beer, bread, grains, blackberries, pears, raspberries, black currants, corn
Mabon - Corn, beans, squash, apples, pumpkins, cider, root vegetables, pomegranate, wine
Samhain - Apples, pumpkins, roasted game birds, cider, dark wine, pears, root vegetables
Yule - Cookies, caraway, dried fruits and nuts, pork dishes, eggnog, ginger tea, spiced cider and wassail.
Imbolc - Baked goods, winter vegetables, seeds, dried fruit, butter, milk, cheese, lamb, mutton
So I’m gonna totally honest here - while I LOVE cooking, I do not really like writing recipes. And I like testing recipes even less. So, rather than spend the limited amount of time I have for Mabon House doing something I don’t love, I decided we’d all just be happier if I curated some of my favorite recipes from Pinterest.
Maybe this is a lazy shortcut? Or maybe it’s excellent time management. You decide. ;)
Ostara Menu Inspiration
I’ve gathered up some of my favorite Ostara Recipes from around Pinterest and organized them into a curated menu on Mabon House. I choose the recipes based on cost, complimentary flavors and incorporating traditional spring foods.
Let me know what you think. If you find this helpful, I’m happy to create more curated menus for the rest of the Wheel of the Year Sabbats.
