It\u2019s no secret that I\u2019m a lady that loves to eat! Obviously, this means when given to opportunity to receive a review copy of \u201cCookbook of Shadows: Simple Recipes for Powerful Magick\u201d by Melanie Marquis I couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point in time there is already quite the array of food and drink based magic books available, and they all have something unique to offer, including \u201cCookbook of Shadows.\u201d Marquis is aware that the concept of kitchen witchery is nothing new and thusly provides just a summary of the concepts and basics. There is enough info that this could easily be your first book on the subject, but brief enough that someone like myself, who owns many books on the topic, isn\u2019t bored at an overlong rehashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the book is laid out in a wonderful spellbook\/book of shadows style. The recipes are divided up by elements, then astrology, and then magical goals. There is also a section devoted to seasonal cooking, and ending with a large list of ingredients and their magical properties. One of the best features is an additional recipe table of contents, making it easy to go back to recipes that stood out to you without necessarily needing to remember their magical significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I usually try to do, I took one of the recipes out for a test drive. My husband and I are fans of cucumber and tomato salad with vinaigrette, so I decided to try the Cooling Cucumber Appetizer recipe. This was a simple, straight forward recipe that was enjoyable. The recipes in \u201cCookbook of Shadows\u201d vary in complexity of preparation and\/or ingredients. There is certainly something in there for anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
