About Witch in the Kitchen

A book of recipes, spells, and rituals for celebrating our connection to the Earth and her seasons.
• Redesigned to focus on all eight pagan holidays.
• Includes new spells, rituals, and meditations, as well as 80 vegetarian recipes.
• Written by practicing witch Cait Johnson, coauthor of Celebrating the Great Mother (12,000 copies sold).
The
beliefs of Wicca are rooted firmly in the earth--in the gradual
circling of her seasons and the bounty and blessings she provides. In Witch in the Kitchen: Magical Cooking for All Seasons,
practicing witch Cait Johnson celebrates the sacred in each season with
more than 80 soul-satisfying and appetizing recipes. In engaging and
inviting prose, the author provides rituals, spells, and meditations
for the eight pagan holidays, inspirations for creating a kitchen
altar, and ways to prepare for each season. She offers ideas for
decorating your kitchen with objects of power and magic--eggs
symbolizing fertility in spring, dried orange slices as reminders of
the sun in mid-winter--to align our bodies, spirits, and senses to the
pace and mood of the Earth's changes. Above all are the recipes for
delicious, sensuous salads, soups, main dishes, and desserts made from
ingredients in tune with the Earth's seasonal gifts. Serve Stuffed
Acorn Squash and Fig-Apple Crumble at a Samhain gathering; celebrate
Winter Solstice with Pomander Salad and Savory Yuletide Pie; welcome
Imbolc with Sprouted Spring Salad and Magic Isle Pasties; or share the
harvest at Lughnasad with Spicy Stir-Fried Greens and Sunny Peach Pie.
With its recipes, rituals, and reminders of our ancient connections to
the seasons, Witch in the Kitchen invites you to honor yourself and the Earth and delight in the magic that comes from sharing good food with good company.

A nos fourneaux!

Ah ça me dit bien ^^ Tant que ça demande des ingrédients trouvables mdrr

Mais je n'irai pas l'acheter avant de l'avoir entre les mains perso ^^ j'ai toujours peur que soit les recettes soient trop farfelues soit trop basiques.

Je te rassure, il n'y a pas d'ingrédients farfelus, et dans certaines recettes il y a même des variantes pour remplacer un ingrédient par un autre...

woooooaaaahhh! ça donne envie, merci!!

Ohlala, Cerry: mets-le sur ta liste !!! Il est FA BU LEUX, vraiment. Je l'adore

Il complète très bien celui de Telesco et de Cunningham. J'aime énormément le fait qu'il soit classé par saison, et que l'auteur nous parle aussi des Sabbats sans ne s'axer que sur la cuisine.
Je m'y réfère systèmatiquement lorsque je veux marquer un sabbat
