If you’ve ever wondered whether hobbits celebrate Christmas, you’ll be delighted to know that they do in fact celebrate the midwinter festival of Yuletide. What better way to celebrate the days of Yule than by preparing an epic yet rustic feast of humble Shire offerings with my newest cookbook: A Hobbit’s Yuletide Feast.
As winter comes I can’t help but think of Tolkien’s beloved halflings nestled in their warm and inviting hobbit holes sharing hot food and warm cups of cheer with their friends and family. Although hobbits wouldn’t have celebrated Christmas as we know it, their Yuletide festivities surely would have included much feasting and merry making. Join us in celebrating this ancient winter festival with an epic hobbit feast!
This Hobbit’s Yuletide feast is the perfect menu for a Winter Solstice celebration (which aligns with Yule), a Christmas gathering, or just a cold winter evening shared with friends or family. Whether you’re looking for traditional hobbit dishes like mushrooms or potatoes, rustic hearty fare, or a festive yuletide drink, these recipes are sure to delight!
Unsurprisingly, much of J.R.R. Tolkien’s descriptions of food within Middle Earth are clearly inspired by the British fare of his home. These recipes are no exception, taking inspiration from sticky toffee pudding, Cornish hens, and mincemeat pie that was served as far back as the middle ages.
Yuletide Feast
And so, we very much hope you will enjoy celebrating the holiday season with this feast and we wish you and your loved ones a very merry Yule!
“…by midwinter Gandalf and Bilbo had come all the way back, along the edges of the Forest, to the doors of Beorn’s house…
Yule-tide was warm and merry there; and men came from far and wide to feast at Beorn’s bidding.”
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
