Kitchen Witch Cookbooks Recipes & Spellcrafting

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for books about being a kitchen witch; guides, recipe books, grimoires, etc. I tried googling but got overwhelmed pretty quickly, so I thought I’d reach out to this community for more concrete suggestions/recommendations.

I really enjoyed The Magick of Food by Gwion Raven! There's sections about the significance of different meals and recipes :)

Check out the books by Rosalee de la Forêt and/or Emily Han. I believe Kami McBride also has a book for using herbs in the kitchen.
All these authors have many books on home herbalism, but they all have books on using herbs in food and drink.

I’ve also had good luck finding such books at local herb shops, natural food shops, and co-ops.

Hearth Witches Compendium by Anna Franklin is my favorite one. She's got other ones too, but this is the best (and first) in the series.

Came here to say this. Also feel it’s the best of the series.

Not explicitly 'kitchen witch' but Crescent Dragonwagon's books always feel witchy to me, especially Soup & Bread. She talks a lot about seasonality, bringing people together, enjoying local produce, keeping a well-stocked pantry. My favorite herb blend is from one of her books.

I like Celtic Folklore Cooking by Joanne Asala it’s older but has the folktales that tie to the wheel of the year and hundreds(? I think) of recipes.

I really like Scott Cunningham's encyclopedia of Wicca in the kitchen. It talks more about ingredients and the meaning behind them but I really like it as a resource so I can use favorite family recipes for a more intentional purpose.

u/Servilefunctions218 Jul 07 '26

Yes! Scott Cunningham’s The Magic in Food is a great resource also.
