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.

Reviews
"A lively, eclectic, and thoughtful blend of cookbook and ritual calendar infused with the flavor and spirit of the modern neopagan movement." -- John Michael Greer, author of The Druid Path and The Occult Book
"This spellbinding cookbook's message is urgent: If you seek more magic in your daily life, why not try actual magic? You just might find that connectedness that your ancient soul is hungry for." -- J.B. MacKinnon, author of The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating
