— Excerpt from prologue

The Blessed Harvest Handbook is a culinary manual written with the Feast of Blessings in mind. A treasure trove of delicious recipes from extravagant to simple, this handbook is an absolute staple in the homes of those who celebrate the twice-yearly harvests in the Harvest Belt.

Good Wheats

With the Feast of Blessings being focused primarily on the wheat harvests, a majority of recipes in this manual are wheat-based. Delicious breads, delectable pastries, and diverse pastas are described in great detail in this book, among many other popular local recipes.

Purpose

This handbook was created over time by generations of farmers through compiling family recipes. Eventually, these recipes were refined and organized into a medium that could be replicated and distributed, allowing farmers from all throughout the region access to generations' worth of culinary history they could carry on into the modern day.
Ever-expanding, farmers utilize the blank pages in the handbooks to write in their own recipes to share with their friends and family.

An invaluable culinary guide, and staple of Harvest Belt household bookshelves.

Modern Touches

Each Feast of Blessings, Harvest Belt families share their own new recipes with one another, scribbling them into the blank pages of their handbooks, broadening their options and enjoying the experience of shared knowledge. It brings the families closer together in a sense, helping to alleviate the tensions which form as the same farming families compete for profits at other times of the year.
