As I have mentioned before, one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place was to try to generate interest in a kitchen witch cookbook. There are a few on the market already, and some of them have the same information in them, while others are a bit different.
Witch in the Kitchen by Cait Johnson is one that stands out. Some of the recipes are common sense, but she has included information on magic(k)al cleansing, customizing your own kitchen goddess apron, setting up a shrine to your personal kitchen deity, etc. I like that her book is more than just recipes and the same information on the Sabbats that we've read a thousand times. Some of the recipes sound tasty, but to be honest, I bought the book for the rituals, meditations, and apron suggestions!
My question for those of you who read this blog is "What do you want to see?" What do you want in a kitchen witch book? Would you like to see more information on the magical lunchbox? Would you like to read about my suggestions for creating a kitchen altar, or is that information old and tired? Would you rather I just talk about the food? Leave me some feedback. Yes, I'm writing this book for myself because I feel that it's inside waiting to come out, but I also want to write this book for the readers. What would you like to see? Where are your other kitchen witch books lacking? I can't promise I will be able to include everything in one book, but I'll do my best to accommodate my readers.

I know what I usually find lacking in the kitchen witch books is more on the publishing side that the author's: pictures! I find it very hard to have any interest in cooking a dish if I can't at least see 1 picture of the finished product.
Aside from that, I have to say that I am interested in more modern takes on "traditional" foods. If you look up sabbat recipes, for example, more often than not you find "traditional" recipes. Otherwise known as crap I don't ever want to cook, lol!
I want fresh, tasty dishes with a new twist.
Also kid friendly dishes.
I loved your magical lunch box post, and think it was a fabulous, fresh idea! Thinking "outside the box" of the normal everyday pagan stuff you can find oodles and oodles of online.
I can't wait to see what all you come up with!
I'd love to have you do a recipe for October! Thanks so much!
If you can just email me when you have it ready (with any pics you might want to share) I will post it during the month with links back to your blog.
Thanks for participating in the 31 Days of Halloween!
