Synopsis
"A Witch's Kitchen" is about real, practical witchcraft. Covering such topics as food, drinks, herb lore, lotions and potions, shapeshifting, incenses, spinning, weaving, using natural dyes, making candles and working with fire, understanding plant spirits and consulting plant oracles, it forms a lively blend of everyday and magical information, which is up-to-date, yet well grounded in myth and tradition. It includes personal, often humourous, accounts of real incidents, which give a good feel for what life as a modern witch is actually like. The book has a strong awareness of the environmental and moral issues facing modern witches and an optimistic outlook, which will encourage and inspire the experienced witch as well as those who are new to the Craft.

A Witch's Kitchen
I found this an excellent, well-written book from someone who knows the real meaning of the craft. The various chapters on making items are easy to follow and they work. The spells are safe for a beginner, denoting an author who understands the power of magic and the need to treat it with respect. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in the green witch or craft aspects of witchcraft.
Practical
This is more of a home crafts book than a witchcraft book.The latter amounts to moralistic preaching, but there are some practical guidelines for those who like to make all their own materials. Not really as good as some others I've seen in this genre' and the spells reek of bad poetry but the cover photo is nice.
Disappointing
After reading a similar book by Kate West and seeing the cover of this book, I was expecting something really wonderful. The book has some worthwhile practical advice, but the presentation is dry at best and the moralising grates on the nerves.It's becoming apparent that there are just too many books on witchcraft saying the same things over and over.
