The Magick of Food

This was a pretty intriguing take on a kitchen witch book, as it really focuses (in my opinion) less on kitchen craft — the actual acts, that is — and more on the magic inherent to food. I'm not sure how to explain this better (I'm writing this review at 5am after being up all night, so I might come back and try to reword this later lol). There are a ton of great tips as well as rituals you can do in your own home. I'll admit that the author did lose me a few times here and there, most notably in the magical dining-out ritual where you're essentially instructed that you have to drop all your inhibitions and let the waitstaff in a restaurant dictate your entire meal for you. It's an interesting idea in theory, but I know I would be so anxious in execution (as a picky eater who strongly dislikes some very common ingredients) that I genuinely doubt I'd feel any “magic” in that situation. To be fair, though, that's a ‘me' thing, so if you're a bit more open than I am, it may work better for you.

Anyways, it wasn't quite what I was looking for and I don't think I'll be adding a finished copy to my collection personally, but it's still one I might recommend to others.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
