Within this book you'll find no recipes, but you will find stories: Stories of magic, healing, and hearth, and of feasts and fasts and fairy tales.

Magic, superstition, cooking, and food rituals have been intertwined since the beginning of humankind. Kitchen Witch: Food, Folklore & Fairy Tale 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. This book is an invitation to find magic in the mundane as author Sarah Robinson explores food, nature, magic, and transformation. 

The magic of food and cooking is vast and wide-ranging. It lives in every kitchen, and every person within it. It is the gleam in every story told around the hearth fire, memories brought back to life for a bubbling moment. There is magic woven so intrinsically into the threads of feeding people we love, and the laughter and healing to be found around a dining table, there's nothing quite like it.  –– Sarah Robinson, from Kitchen Witch: Food, Folklore & Fairy Tale

While this book contains no recipes, its newer companion book, The Kitchen Witch Companion: Recipes, Rituals & Reflections, certainly does.
