Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Wicca in the Kitchen

Scott Cunningham does it again, this time with a wonderful tome that's part cookbook, part philosophy of food. Cunningham divides the book up based on food groups, and there's so much information on each that you'll probably never look at your spice rack in much the same way again. Cunningham goes into detail about the associations of each type of food, but his book is structured in such a way that you can easily see how to assemble the ingredients for whatever magickal effect you desire. The book's highlight is its recipes. The desserts are amazing, and the magickal soups are the kinds of things you wish you could order on a menu. Whenever they put up a Wiccan restaurant in my hometown, I hope they'll use this book as a guide.

Wicca In The Kitchen is the result of more than 17 years of investigation by one of Wicca's most important authors. Cunningham shows how one can effect change in any area of life by selecting food for its magical properties and consuming it with a specific goal in mind. Wicca In The Kitchen includes lists of magical correspondences for every kind of food and supplies magical diets for certain universal goals, including love, health, protection, abundance and psychic awareness. Organized by category, it also provides 27 of the author's favourite recipes and their magical applications. It is a delightful book that ought to appeal to all those interested in bringing a little magic into their lives and especially to Wiccans or to anyone whose hobby is cooking and who is looking for something that is a bit different. The book concludes with a glossary of terms, a bibliography and an index.
