Welcome to Celtnet's Medicinal Recipes Page — This is a rather eclectic collection of recipes, all with purported 'medicinal', curative or restorative properties. Some of these recipes have been used for generations, others have been used as restoratives (chicken soup, African hot pepper soup). Yet others come from Victorian recipe books as being suitable for invalids. There are, however, a few more modern recipes here for foods using ingredients with known biomedical and biochemical properties. As always, I make no claims as to the efficacy of these foods, they are listed here because they are interesting, they are tasty, they have historical value or they may actually be beneficial. The recipes here are sourced from right across the globe and use a range of common, not so common and wild-sourced ingredients.
Of course, some reicpes are just good to eat, or generally give you a feel-good boost if you are feeling down. I think these recipes are fascinating and give us an insight into our relationships with our food and our health. I hope that you find these dishes equally fascinating and are willing to try a few in your own kitchen. Enjoy... |
