Book Review: The Kitchen Witch by Skye Alexander

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a wonderful, magical guide that I highly recommend for beginners like myself. The Kitchen Witch by Skye Alexander talks about the qualities, properties, and symbolism of 100 fundamental ingredients. I really enjoyed this book! I’m really interested in the spiritual side of homemaking and this book is a great addition to the collection.

Welcome to the life of a Kitchen Witch! There is so much information packed into this book that it will be impossible to touch on every point in my review. So here are a few things that I found both useful and carried forward into my daily practices.

Topics range from mindfully preparing food for your loved ones, to using the energies of spices and different foods to infuse your dishes with purpose. You get ideas from choosing the right pasta shape for desired outcomes, the significance of different types of chocolate for different dishes, home remedies, and beverages to feed what you’re going through, both emotionally and health-wise.

Inside you will find various ideas including practices, guidelines, principal tools, and their traditional meanings and uses. You will also find various details on the importance of cleansing, clearing, and protecting your kitchen.

This book is filled with a vast array of valuable information that is useful for everyone. One piece of information I found particularly useful was that you should remember everything carries energy, and that energy can be both used and infused with personal energy for intent. This leads to how you should prepare and consume your food with mindfulness, respect, and gratitude.

I consider this book an homage to the honour of cooking for yourself, loves ones, and your community. The book is well organized and easy to follow, with clear instructions and even a fun chapter dedicated to the holidays! This is an excellent resource for both beginners and the more experienced.

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
