The Book of Kitchen Witchery

Spells, Recipes, and Rituals for Magical Meals, an Enchanted Garden, and a Happy Home

By Cerridwen Greenleaf

The kitchen can be much more than a place to prepare food. For the kitchen witch, it can become a magical heart of the home — a place where herbs, ingredients, intention and everyday activities can be transformed into opportunities for spellwork.

In The Book of Kitchen Witchery, bestselling author Cerridwen Greenleaf explores the magic that can be found in cooking, gardening, herbalism and caring for the home.

This beautifully illustrated guide brings together spells, recipes, rituals, charms and traditional witchy wisdom, showing how ordinary household activities can become part of a magical practice.

• 🌿 Magical herbs and plants

There is also plenty of folk wisdom, meditation and practical magical knowledge, making this more than simply a book of witchy recipes. Greenleaf encourages readers to look at the ingredients and activities already found around the home and consider how they can be incorporated into a magical practice.

Kitchen magic and the enchanted garden

A particularly lovely part of the book is its combination of kitchen witchcraft and green witchcraft.

Readers can explore the magical properties of herbs and plants, learn about growing an enchanted garden and discover ways to bring those plants directly into their cooking, rituals and spellwork.

The kitchen becomes a place where practical activities — preparing food, making tea, tending plants or lighting a candle — can be approached with magical intention.

Magic for the home

The book also looks beyond the kitchen itself, exploring ways of bringing magical energy into the wider home.

From creating a personal altar to working with candle colours, crystals, herbs and domestic deities, Greenleaf presents the home as a place where everyday magic can be practised naturally.

It's a lovely approach for anyone who enjoys the idea that witchcraft doesn't have to be something reserved for elaborate rituals — it can be woven into ordinary life.
