* When you clean your kitchen, try putting an herbal infusion in your bucket of mop water. Rosemary and sage are nice all-purpose spiritual cleansers. You can also simply add salt to the water. Try rose and lavender for love, citrus for protection, and cinnamon for prosperity.
* Burn sage or rosemary.
* Get a good book on magical herbs, such as Cunningham's. Go through the book and become familiar with herbs for specific purposes. Put the ones that go best together into your dishes. For example, spices such as ginger, garlic and chili are good protective ingredients and taste good together in a curry.
* Stir clockwise. Scrub counter-clockwise if you feel the need.
* A pot of basil growing in the kitchen promotes love. Bundles of rosemary are good for protection. A dish of sesame seeds draws money.
* You can use a solution of salt water to trace protective runes onto the doors, walls and cabinets in your kitchen. Only you will know they are there!
* If you have a kitchen deity but don't have room for an altar, simply find a picture and hang it up in your kitchen. You can make offerings as you see fit.
* Light a candle as you cook. Light pink for love, green for prosperity or healing, blue or purple for psychic awareness, etc.
*Enter the kitchen with love in your heart. Try not to prepare foods when you are in a foul mood, as this energy might transfer to the food. That might sound silly to some, but I always try to think of good things when I am cooking. Maybe I've read Like Water for Chocolate too many times!
*Listen to music that calms you, energizes, you, or fills you with love and warmth as you cook. Listen to some loud rock if you're making a dish for protection and really use the sound and energy to work up some protection! Listen to soft, soothing music if you are making a recipe for love. Listen to a meditation track or trance music if you are making something to promote psychic awareness.
*Enjoy yourself. The kitchen is a place to play and to create. You are taking the gifts of the gods and combining them to create new tastes and sometimes to create magic. Have fun! Fill your work with love and people will be able to taste the care you've put into the food. Things taste better when prepared with love.

Thanks for sharing this wisdom, spent the day in the kitchen today whizzing up some yummy vegan dishes whilst listening to Rock music and jigging around the kitchen. Definitely put me in a great mood :o)
Blessings to you.

"Enter the kitchen with love in your heart. Try not to prepare foods when you are in a foul mood, as this energy might transfer to the food."
Carrying love in your heart instead of foul thoughts is always a good idea. However, I have found it really helpful to cook stews or, even better, make bread when I am really "off the tracks" (i.e. down or outraged or depressed or...), and it never seemed to affect the food. Especially with the bread, eating it had almost the same positive impact on the recipient (not only me, my friends love the "depressive bread" I make - sounds strange, hu?) as the baking had before. But maybe this is something special?
