I'm a chef with an interesting project on the side...a faerie cookbook based on traditional faerie food from countries all over the world throughout history. Trouble is collecting research isn't simple since I can't actually travel all over the world. So, anyone know of any resources that can provide any faerie food recipes...I'm sure the little beasties enjoy more than just milk and honey :)

Favorite Froud Book? my mother's copy of "Faeries" from the 70's

Hi there Queen Mabb,

I have a book called "The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries" by Pierre Dubois. With each Faery listed it includes what food they eat. I will give you some examples when I have a bit more time tomorrow.

Good luck! Sounds like fun :)

Best wishes
