The Spirited Kitchen

In The Spirited Kitchen, practicing witchcraft means nurturing a relationship with the seasons and drawing on ancestral roots to find magic in small details. Here, simple ingredients-apples, hazelnuts, wheat-become magical elements of cooking and ritual crafting. The result is an enchanting culinary journey through the pagan Wheel of the Year, from the Halloween festivities of Samhain to the return of autumn at Harvest Home. With each season, readers can cook feast dinners to celebrate nature's cycles. In winter, Cranberry Custard Tarts encourage health and well-being; in spring, Deep Dish Nettle Quiche ushers in resilience after cold months and Calendula Chicken embodies the abundance of summer. Along the way, ritual crafts like Salt Spells, hand-woven Offering Baskets and a Maypole Chandelier bring extra symbolism to the table. Complete with stunning photographs and a glossary of spirited symbols and ingredients, this book is a bewitching guide to seasonal magic.
