N2  - "Welcome to a place of great magic -- the kitchen! Within this book you'll find no recipes, but something cooked up just for you; you'll find stories -- stories of magic, healing, and hearth, of feasts and fasts and fairy tales. Of poisoned apples, bewitching gingerbread, and seeing the future in a teacup... Magic, superstition, cooking, and food rituals have been intertwined since the beginning of humankind. This book is an exploration of the history and culture of food, folklore and magic and those skilled in healing and nourishing -- herbalists, wise women, cooks, cunning folk and the name many of them would come to bear: witch. Kitchen Witch is an invitation to see the magic in every corner of your kitchen, to remember the superstitions about fairies who like butter, to watch the fruits of each season ripen to see the healing potential in herbs and plants. With the Kitchen Witch as our guide, we'll explore food, nature, magic, and transformation. We'll discover what the name of Kitchen Witch could mean to us in modern interpretations of ancient practices. May this book of stories and ideas show that there's magic in the mundane, witchcraft within your walls and the Goddess really is in the details. In Sarah's signature style of weaving together the magical, this exciting new book will touch on a myriad of modalities in a journey lined with fantasy, folklore, and much, much food!"--Back cover
