This is a very eclectic source and, true to Telesco's usual style, aims to be a "lowest common denominator" book that will appeal to as many people as possible. As such, the recipes presented here are not "new" wiccan-themed dishes but rather regional dishes from around the world, with their "magical significance" penciled in. Nor is the "magical significance" limited to wiccan and pagan traditions - Telesco frequently notes dishes as being sacred to C...more

The recipes are great and associations are generally spot-on. Unfortunately, the information in the appenixes and intro portions is pretty spotty --but I bought it as a recipe book, not as a pagan manual, and its intent seems to be recipe book, as Ms Telesco has already written other Pagan 101 sorts of books.
I like this book as a cookbook. It's got a fair share of vegetarian recipes (Which I want, since I'm a vegetarian), and some of the meat recipes are veggie adaptable. Nice.
Looks like some interesting foods. The book adds a magical/spiritual influence to it, which makes for some interesting reading as well.
I normally like Patricia Telesco's work (though sometimes her stuff seems a little unnecessarily "hip" to me and sometimes I disagree with her basic principles). However, it's undeniable that she really knows her stuff, and this cookbook contains a lot of recipes I have personally made again and again.
