The Witch's Feast

I received a sampler of this book in exchange for my honest review.

From what I read, this is a really cool cookbook, full of history and lore behind the idea of “feasting”, as well as history for each recipe. The recipes themselves are very Mediterranean, which is perfect to me. I saw at least 2, maybe 3, recipes that included figs. Yum!

I definitely plan on picking this book up when it comes out.

I was fascinated by this book, and the historical part of it especially, but equally by the recipes. I will be using it as a reference book for the recipes. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

Okay this might be the book that really gets me into Kitchen Witchery.

I have been out of the broom closet for just over a year now, and enjoying good food for far longer!

There has often been a time when rooting around in old family recipes I wonder if my ancestors would like an offering of any of them, and even more often when I simply wonder what they might have eaten before the world began to feel like the one it is today.

I couldn't even tell you what made me request a cook book for the first time, apart from fate itself.

Everything you see in this amazing portfolio of ancient recipes and ritual offerings will genuinely make you start salivating. Where do I begin?! Genuine recipes of Fornacalia focaccia, Duck breats with blueberry balsamic and honey walnut, creamy mugwort soup and cleansing iced tea. This book is a bible of genuine, hearty meals perfect for those of us interested in connecting with both our ancestors and inner-selves.

I've already added the modest ingredients to my weekly shopping list and am keen to implement most of these into my every-day meals. Seriously, it's a goldmine.

As someone who works with deities and ancestors, and often finds herself struggling to source homemade or suitable offerings on the holidays, Madara has come through like the sun parting clouds.

RUN DO NOT WALK, for I anticipate this book flying off shelves and running out of stock quickly, for it's a real treasure.

This book is stunning - I love how it is broken out between different feasts. The Feast of the Ancestors, The Feast of the Stars, The Feast of the Heavens, The Feast of Spells and The Feast of Earth. Each feast and recipe have their own meaning and process. The pictures are gorgeous and the recipes are easy to follow. I will be purchasing this to have in my collection!

There’s nothing I love better than a good book that not only shares recipes, but also shares background and history as well. This book delivers on all fronts. I love the history of the feasts and times past as well as the recipes. THIS is the cookbook that my kitchen has been missing and makes me incredibly happy. I am ready to incorporate some of these recipes into feasts through the wheel of the year and can’t wait to share them with my family and friends.

This is a beautiful exploration of the pagan significance of feasts and how we bring ancient rituals into our daily lives. The recipes are adaptable while also remaining true to history, and I’m so excited to give them a try. This is definitely a book that I’ll be picking up as a physical copy!
