We all eat to survive, but is it not just as important to eat to really live? Can we really use the food we eat every day to manifest a better life for ourselves? This book fully explores the energy that we invest into food during its preparation, how emotions during cooking, serving, and eating affects the people who eat the food, and how you can successfully instill particular energy into a food to create a specific outcome. In addition to the fascinating subject of energy and food, this book also contains more than 75 delicious recipes from the author's own collection.

This book started out quite interesting. I was looking for a book that was available on kindle to read about kitchen witchery, and this one looked promising. It helps that it's available on kindle unlimited to borrow for free. I probably wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. 

I think the author began the book with enthusiasm and she has a way of writing that makes one feel as if they are sitting there with her and having a coffee, talking candidly. The topic of the book is very promising, but I did find myself skimming through some of the topics that were too simple and common sense. 

The better parts were when she talked about preparing a magical meal and putting intent into the food. I thought that the book was picking up again, but it let me down. 

As soon as it grabbed my attention, it ended with what the author calls,"75 delicious recipes from her own collection." I found the recipes to be VERY ordinary and ones that I have known in my head now for years without the need of a cookbook recipe. 

The end of the book has some correspondences with color, a list of hints while preparing food. The hints are a little helpful, the colors - every witch knows already. I think that had the book been planned out a little more it could have been much better. There are others out there that are worth the money, this one isn't. You will gain very little information from it about kitchen witchery. The description of the book is pretty much a summary of the contents of the book - nothing more inside to elaborate on the topics. If you aren't a witch, you might gain a small bit of information on the subject of being one, and without the stereotypical stuff.
