So this witchy book was more a book of how to use kitchen ingredients to make you meals more magical. It shows you haw to make an alter in your kitchen and different spells you can make with normal items in you kitchen.
Not only does this walk you through how to do all these things, it helps you learn to create your own. Which is very important as you grow.

I enjoyed this book very much, While I wouldn't personally label myself as a witch, I strongly believe that intentions play a significant role in cooking. "The Kitchen Witch Handbook" not only satisfies my curiosity but also provides me with inspiration for infusing my cooking with magic and intention. As I embark on my culinary adventures with this book, I'm excited to explore the intersection of healing, intention, and delicious flavors.

Fabulous book to have around the house and to be able to refer back on it. I can’t honestly say I had a favourite part because I genuinely liked it all !!! The illustrations were beautiful and well fitted to the books style and theme.

I originally requested a galley of this book and received it, but life got in the way. I didn't get the time to read it before it came out. So I bought my own physical copy, and I do not regret it one bit! This book is so lovely. It's gorgeous and inviting with a sprinkle of magic. I'll be using it for years to come!

This was a wonderfully modern take on the magical traditions that have been passed down through the years. It's a hands on guide that is filled with recipes, spells, and rituals. It gives a new witch a place to start and opens them up to a whole new world. It shows an experienced witch insight into what they already know but in a new way. Definitely a lovely prelude into the world of a kitchen witch.

A super cool idea that I loved seeing! The Kitchen Witch Handbook was a gorgeous book that focused on wellness in the kitchen. I really enjoyed what it had to teach me.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great book full of practical information and guidance for beginners on their magical kitchen journey. I loved the way that the author made the recipes, tips and tricks fairly basic so that it was easy to understand and follow. The illustrations were awesome and I will be purchasing a physical copy to relook at them over and over. All round a fantastic book for beginners and skilled.

I received a free copy of The Kitchen Witch Handbook from Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet Press in exchange for an honest review.

As someone who was raised by a kitchen witch and would love to be one someday, I was eager to get into The Kitchen Witch Handbook and see if it was one to add to my shelves. It most definitely is! Following the sabbats and seasons, The Kitchen Witch Handbook moves through the year in herbs and plants, recipes, and rituals. It will most likely become one of my main reference guides for kitchen witching because of its complete and broad knowledge. Anyone looking for the same kind of guide will find a gem in Aurora Kane’s The Kitchen Witch Handbook.

This is one of those ARCs where I had to buy the book because it was just so full of helpful information that I had to have a hard copy on my shelf. To start with, the illustrations are gorgeous. There are charming pictures on just about every single page, and it made reading this book a joy.

It's chock full of useful and easy to understand information. I loved how Kane includes not just the witchy info about the sabbats, fruits, herbs, flowers, and vegetables for each season of the year, but also historical factoids that I can randomly spit out to look extra nerdy. In addition, she adds a range of ways to incorporate kitchen magic into our everyday lives, as well as celebrating the sabbats. Rather than making everything seem esoteric and mysterious, she provides a way to make celebrating each of the solstices and equinoxes attainable and doable amongst our busy lives.

This is one of those books that's great for beginners, and as a plus, it has some amazing sounding recipes that I can't wait to try out!

This was both beautiful and helpful. If you're looking to dip your toe into kitchen witchery, or just looking to expand your practice, you'll find this helpful. This was organized well and easy to read, but could easily be used simply as a reference book if you don't want to read it cover to cover. Highly recommend for all witches!

Firstly, I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and absolutely loved the illustrations. I also like the way that it was set up. It was super simple to follow and comprehend, and information never felt overwhelming. I will say, it's information is very basic, but would be great for anyone just starting out or beginning to focus on the kitchen.

This is an incredibly whimsical book to add to anyone's kitchen. The book talks about various ingredients, colors, utensils and items to have on hand to bring peace and calmness to your home. It incorporates hospitality, care and emphasizes that the kitchen is the central place for gathering of warmth and love. It also had a section on different goddesses/maidens/witches from various ethnic folktales. (This Greek, Norse and Egyptican mythology) Readers who enjoyed "The Practical Magic series" by Alice Hoffman or "Garlic and the Vampire" by Bree Paulsen will enjoy this cozy book. I plan on ordering hard copies for both myself and friend whose birthday is in October. I also recommend this book for lovers of herbs, gardening, feminist pride and October spooky vibes. The illustrations are also delightful. Readers who also enjoy paging through cookbooks will also enjoy this book.

Delightful and quirky, with beautiful illustrations, the Kitchen Witch Handbook is a must for lovers of all things witchy. It is informative, delightful and practical, and would also make a lovely gift.

3 and a half stars, rounded up to 4.

Such a beautiful and unique book! You can find plenty of information on magic and witchcraft combined with a great collection of recipes. All wrapped up with beautiful illustrations into a stunning aesthetic it’s the perfect book for every kitchen witch.

This is the kitchen witch manual I've been looking for! Full of recipes, correspondences, blessings and ideas for incorporating kitchen magic across the seasons! Tips were practical and useful and the author included a brief history of many of the practices described. I'm so glad I was able to read this ahead of publication and I look forward to buying a hard copy once it's available.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

An introduction to kitchen witchcraft and part of the mystical handbook series. The artwork is so good. It had a ton of information you will want to revisit it. Excellent book for beginners.

5 stars

Here's a gorgeously illustrated collection of hints, tips, and recipes for creating a more magical life. Organized by season, this would be fun to pick up at any time of the year. It would also make a terrific gift for anyone who enjoys caring for others.

Thank you Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet Press for this ARC!

- This is an excellent overview of kitchen witchery! It would be perfect for beginners, or for people who are looking for a broad manual on the different aspects of being a kitchen witch.
- I liked how accessible and easy to use this book felt. It was well laid out, and I think it would be a great reference for a variety of things (from color meanings to the backgrounds of certain plants to some recipes).
- I liked that the recipes were organized by season, especially since that affects what ingredients are best used! I also liked how wide of a range of recipes there were, ranging from meals to sauces to drinks to desserts.
- The illustrations throughout are well done and are very helpful!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an e-copy of this book for review.

I would recommend that anyone buying this book buys the physical book as I don't think an e-book does justice to the beautiful illustrations throughout. This book is packed full of information for the kitchen witch and I can see it as a valuable resource to be used throughout the year. With information about correspondences, herbs, kitchen gardens, spells, moon magic, wheel of the year and seasons it is a great reference that would be especially suitable for the beginner..

I absolutely love kitchen magic so I was excited to receive this book! I have read many books on this topic and really love how the author broke everything down so it was easy to understand for someone who was just beginning their magical journey. I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy to keep in my kitchen and reference as needed!
