The Natural Witch’s Cookbook: 100 Magical, Healing Recipes & Herbal Remedies to Nourish Body, Mind & Spirit | ⭐ Flexiology.Store Recommended

A great cookbooks and very well done.
The Natural Witch’s Cookbook by Lisanna Wallance was a fun and informative cookbook. I didn’t, however, expect to be wowed by her cooking expertise. This book is worth a look!Over the years, I’ve collected many cookbooks that were attributed to “kitchen witchery.” Sometimes these were fun tomes with seasonal recipes highlighting the Wheel of the Year. Other times they were pun-filled cookbooks that were fun but fairly unremarkable. I’ve gotten to where I’m gun-shy about reading a new cookbook that touts “kitchen magic” as I feel like I’ve seen it all. The cookbook “The Natural Witch’s Cookbook” was a pleasant and wonderful surprise.Wallance has set to create a healthy and natural food cookbook that uses a vegetable-based, but not vegetarian, approach to cooking. They divided the parts of the cookbook into sections: Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Sweet, and Potions. Throughout the cookbook are helpful hints and tips from the author that put a unique spin on each recipe.Much of the magic in the cookbook is the idea behind the recipes themselves. Each recipe highlights A, B and D vitamins and combines ingredients for best effect. Many of the recipes promote joint health, skin rejuvenation, and energy. Descriptions of each recipe provide the information on what the goal for each one is. In its way, each of the recipes is a type of spell to create a result.Witches, for ages, have used food magic to create an effect or a result. It’s easy to see how this is done, as the very act of cooking is transformative itself. In art, witches are often portrayed stirring cauldrons, usually to work some magic — This is not too far removed from stirring a pot over a kitchen stove. From the fireplace to the convection oven, magic is still being done to heal and promote health with the same knowledge passed down to move from folklore to nutritional science.Much of the impetus behind the cookbook lies in the fact that the author, Lisanna Wallance, suffers from the disorder Elhers-Danlos syndrome. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders that affect the connective tissues. Symptoms can sometimes include overly flexible joints and skin that’s translucent, elastic, and bruises easily (among other symptoms).Wallance, like many others who suffer from rare disorders, had to take her nutrition seriously to help combat this syndrome, and this gave her an education on nutrition and how food affects the body. This education led to her writing recipes and sharing her work in this amazing book.The author also took the photographs in the book and they were very well done. The photographs offered a glimpse of the art and eye appeal of the recipes more than a simple recipe itself would have done. Often the images of the food are breathtaking, offering increased effect for each spell that the recipe casts on the person eating it.Simple recipes like “Sunrise Fruit” (page 23), is a really nice presentation and use of persimmon, a fruit that often gets short shrift. “Rebirth Autumn Root Tart” (page 35) is a lovely presentation that also tastes really terrific. I recommend this one to anyone that might attend a potluck or as a nice starter for a get-together.“Antioxidant Quiche” (page 39) is something I tried last week for my family and it was a surprise hit! A delightful way to use artichoke hearts and other seasonal summer vegetables. “Soothing Chicken” (pg 55) is a warming comfort food hit of chicken with a sweet potato cream and a mustard cauliflower puree. My favorite of the cookbook “Euphoria Turkey with Raspberry Sauce” (page 56) is a lovely comfort food that I will definitely be making this thanksgiving, and “Immunity Orange Duck” (page 58) may be the most ingenious way I’ve seen duck prepared.They rounded the Sweet section with “Marzipan Baked Apples” (page 125) and “Anti-Inflammatory Lemon Cake” (page 130) as well as other scrumptious offerings.This cookbook is marvel throughout. I really want to encourage you to give this a look. Once you can see some recipes that are within, I believe you, too, will be under its spell!

Fun and Healthy Cookbook
This cookbook is visually beautiful and full of delicious and healthy recipes. I love the concept and enjoy learning about the health benefits of different foods. I am so glad I bought this cookbook.

Disappointed
I was a bit disappointed with this cookbook. I was expecting more from a kitchen witchery cookbook. The photos did not do the food any justice at all, they were dull and I imagine they might have done this on purpose to make the book seem that it come from an old grimoire. But my husband mentioned that he was turned off by the setup and execution of the book. Some of the recipes did not give oven temperatures nor end result photos. There were some good recipes which is why I gave 4 stars. I am glad that it was not filled with spells. I did enjoy reading why the author used particular items for the recipes, but I just could not get much from this book. I really wanted to love it. However, I have found much better recipes from my antique cookbook I received from my mother that has been passed down over generations that promotes garden to table healthy recipes that I still use today.

Amazing
I wanted to write the review as soon as I got the book. I was not expecting this book to be so fantastic. The recipes are very nutritious and the names are very inventive, but I could see that before I tried the recipes. I held off on writing the review until I tasted a few of the recipes. Even my kids were very happy with the flavors of these recipes. They are mostly easy to make and they are very delicious. Be aware though that the food can only be as great as the quality of the ingredients that you get. These are not recipes that call for complicated or fancy ingredients, or even a lot of ingredients. As a result, you have to use the best that you can find/afford to get the best results you can. I did not used expensive ingredients, but everything I used was very fresh and it does make a difference on the outcome. Overall, the book have some great recipes, easy to follow and the end result does look like the ones on the picture.

Learning all the time. Didn’t realise certain connections to vitamins and health. Vit A is supported by orange/red foods.

Great recipes

It came on time no problems I got for a friend so I don’t know what else to say.
