Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Wicca in the Kitchen
There's a reason caviar has a reputation as a love food, but a little vanilla or peppermint can work wonders too! You'll savor mushrooms like never before after experiencing their intuitive-raising effects, and a munch of celery will resonate with new meaning as it boosts your sexual desire and psychic awareness.

I read this book because I was curious: I like cooking and I'm intrigued by magic, so it seemed to be a nice and possibly amusing book to read.
I was disappointed.
It might even have something good in it, I wouldn't say no. But it seems to me that it was written just because. It does not seem to be a book that took years to write.
It is too much simplistic in many ways: we must not use microwave ovens because they aren't "traditional". But we are allowed to use electricity ones: are they "tradit...more

This book is so interesting. Teaches you all about the positive properties of foods. What foods to eat to bring abundance, good luck, and prosperity into your life. What foods to eat if you are trying to attract love into your life... Fascinating! I respect Scott Cunningham's books very much. Even though this man has since passed from this phase of life since 1992 I am just now reading his books and it always feels like he is still alive. Like he just wrote the book this year!
This book is truly an Encyclopedia, which is not exactly what I was looking for. Descriptions and histories of many foods divided into chapters by type (breads, desserts, vegetables etc.) The histories of the different grains were my favorite sections of the book. There are some recipes, but they seem kind of trite/unserious. Out of date on references/catalogues/places to acquire foodstuffs. Might be useful as a reference in the future... but not a good, informative read.
While this is a cookbook, it is much more vital. It details why and how the kitchen plays a central role in everyone's daily lives. It made me appreciate the need to keep my cooking utensils and appliances clean and orderly by telling me why these rituals were important to the ancients as well as their modern relevance. As I consider myself a Kitchen Witch this tome remains a spiritual wellspring for me.
This is my favorite Cunningham book to date. It was a gift. Unwrapping it made it so special. I love the cover, the artwork and consult it regularly. It really helps me prepare food with mindfulness. Scott's words are often in my ear in the kitchen. We give thanks.
Lots of interesting and good information. I particularly found the information on the different color of corn used in making flour and its different correspondent element (white and air, red and fire, blue and water, gold and earth) very interesting.
Everything you wanted to know about Magical Cooking! Cunningham provides a familair and friendly voice, and an informative, entertaining look at the history and magical uses of all our favorite foods! Did you know Roman Soldiers were once paid with Salt? How about placing cups of Vinegar (or Onions) around the house to absorb negativity? Next time you put Syrup on those Pancakes, visualize Money coming your way! Wanna know how to make The Drunken Pumpkin for your next Samhain feast, or Charmed P...more

an excellent resource- esp for the wiccan cook who wants to create their own magical dishes!
This is a great resource for practitioners! Love it!

Very Good.
Not just recipes! It's much more than that. Even if you don't necessarily consider yourself pagan or wicca, I think this is a great book about food and cooking.
good starter book on magic and working with food.good as a beginer's reference book.

This is the first book Wicca related that I have purchased in a VERY LONG TIME. It spoke to me though, so I had to get it.
This was quite interesting. I will keep it for reference. I have the .pdf version of this.
Pretty good cookbook/ guidebook for kitchen witches. Not too many actual recipes though.
Inspired me to become a kitchen witch.
