Linda Raedisch joins me on this weeks show to dive into some of the strange histories and traditions that she has uncovered whilst compiling her fourth Llewellyn book, The Secret History of Christmas Baking:  Recipes and Stories from Tomb Offerings to Gingerbread Boys.

We discuss the strange history of mummies as medicinal cure alls, the dark secrets of sugar and gingerbread, ancient civilisations, Bigfoot and much more!

You can find all her books here:
