An easy enough guide on kitchen witchcraft. I'll come back to this for future reference. I liked several of the recipes and it was easy to read and understand.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very informative and helpful. I took many of the things I learned and I still use it. How to prepare my space, learning all the uses for what I have in the kitchen and how to make meals full of meaning and that will nuture you.
I find myself still referencing this book and finding new things to do.

I really liked how this book was set out. Part 1 had all the basics to setting up your own practice. Part 2 had applicable recipes and rituals to try in your own life. Overall, this book was exactly what I thought it would be based on the blurb and I felt like I received even more than I'd hoped with the heavy focus on practical applications which is sometimes lacking in these style of reference books.

This was a NetGalley review.

I loved this one! The information in this book is on point, very well explained.
It's easy to read and entertaining. I learned a lot and was able to get quite a lot of new information from this one.
I put it on my to-buy list.

Highly recommend if you are new to this and want to get started or if you are just interested in witchcraft.

Nice that there are key takeaways at end of the chapters. Writing is easy to understand and read. More of a very introductory book on kitchen witchcraft.

Love this book so much! I read it because I had a feeling it would be a great gift for a witchy friend but I wanted to check out the recipes first, and I was right — this book is delightful and witchy and has amazing recipes! The purely lemon loaf cake sounds delicious and I can’t wait to gift this to my friend when it comes out!

I love how mindful they make this practice. Often, preparing a meal can be seen as a chore and I love the idea to take it slowly and make it all matter. To really think about what I am preparing and my intentions in doing so.

I liked how everything was laid out fornthe reader and made the information easily digestable. It is very welcome to beginners and doesn't throw jargon around with no explanation which can be frustrating when you're just starting.

This book is a great starting point and will allow witches and anyone else to start a mindful, intentional practice in the kitchen. Such a great foundation to build on.

Also the recipes have easy to find ingredients and are relatable for the average american.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC for me to contribute an honest review.

I picked this book up as someone who loves cooking and is interested in learning more about witchcraft. It was interesting to see how these two things work together! It made me excited to be intentional with the spells I may use and do some more research.

I loved reading this book and found a lot of wonderful information for any new witch or a witch who has been practicing for years. I definitely recommend this to any witch who is always looking to learn something new.

I'm not really one for cooking, but this book was a good introduction into kitchen witchery. A lot of the spells were things I might actually use, especially the medicinal ones. It's a lot of good information in a beautiful, easy to understand package.

Discover your inner self. This book should be part of your self-care arsenal. We all need time to discover what we want, what we can do, and how to care for ourselves and others. This is the first step of many.

Kitchen Witchcraft for Beginners is a very informative book full of useful information that I am glad to add to my toolkit.

This book was adorably helpful in a structured way. I read through it with my teen and they loved it. It touches on several different things, but most of it is based in Wicca, not actual witchcraft. I found myself comparing it often with the works of Silver Ravenwolf. Unfortunately, this is only a beginner book, so it really only touches on the most helpful things. However, if you are looking for a way to introduce someone to the practices of Wicca? This book would be just fine. It clarifies some things like cultural appropriation, intention, and the wheel of the year.

Ultimately, you get a decent collection of recipes, but you will still need to do even more research. With paganism, research is the name of the game; so don't expect every detail of this book to match up with your particular practice unless you are wanting to do a Betty Crocker cake mix version of things.

For readers looking to find a simple, easy to understand entry level into the basics of kitchen witchcraft- this book absolutely serves that purpose. I'd hoped to find more history and detailed knowledge but while it is admittedly a bit surface level for anyone who is not a beginner, the book covers truly important content like closed practices and the importance of not appropriating. I definitely appreciate that! The illustrations are very charming and even though I'm not a beginner, I bookmarked several of the recipes and spells for later use.

This is the Perfect book for a new kitchen/any kind of witch. It covers everything you need to get started on your magical path. You will learn how to put your intention into your cooking, healing, and how to create your own spells. This book is a gem!

This is a really interesting book that takes a look at the ancient art of cooking-for-healing and blends it with modern magic to create a grimoire of kitchen witchcraft. Packed full of wisdom and spells, this book is essential for witches of all paths.

WITCH TIP: Whether you’re stirring coffee, tea or soups, stir with intention! Stir clockwise for setting intention, stir counterclockwise for banishment.

This book briefly covers the origins of kitchen witchcraft (for example, how healers could brew tea or use tinctures for healing) and teaches us how to revive traditions of old by incorporating magic and intention into our everyday cooking. There is interesting lore and magic tips sprinkled throughout the book, but without a doubt, the recipes are the highlight of the book, for me. The recipes for Be Well Tea and Cure-All Chicken Soup are a few that I can't wait to try!

This book is amazing! My knowledge of witchcraft is basically none but I've always been intrigued! I love how easy to follow this book is and the author provides great knowledge and background. My favorite chapters are Self Care and Love & Intimacy! I also love that all the ingredients are already things I have in my kitchen. I would say this book would make a great gift for a friend interested in witchcraft and self help!

Thank you Netgalley for the arc!
