Her style of writing draws the reader into the book, and yes, into the material itself in a way that really no other author can do. Often I feel as though I\u2019m sitting in her kitchen, listening to her talk.<\/p>\n<p>The Kitchen Witch Companion covers everything from kitchen folklore (dealing with fire, water, food and the like) to witchy recipes for everyday cooking \u2013 all the way up to cooking for a coven. The recipes looked mouthwatering and after trying a few, I found they ARE mouthwatering. It\u2019s obvious that Ms. Telesco has shared with us her tried and tested secrets. And I for one am ever so grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Being a carnivore at heart and soul, I was delighted that she chose to include dishes with all sorts of meat. There is no meat lacking here\u2026I found a recipe for preparing goose of all things. Golden Goose, none the less. What I found most intriguing and most delectable was the rather all-inclusive section on barbequing. A hot grill is, as far as I\u2019m concerned, a pagans best friend. Whether it\u2019s protein or vegetable, a grill is just a handy thing to have.<\/p>\n<p>Quote: Page 80 \u2013 \u201cBountiful Baby Back Ribs\u201d<br \/>\n<em>\u201cI owe a debt of gratitude to the person who first decided to roast these delectable items over a fresh fire. They\u2019re among our favorites for inspiring both providence and bounty, being that the swine are associated with the fertile nature of the Great Mother, and Earth itself, in Celtic, Oceanic, Tibetan Buddhist, Hinduism, and Sumero-Semetic settings. This this foundation we add a sweet-savory rub so that life itself is sweet and zesty!<\/p>\n<p>Rib Rub<br \/>\n1 tablespoon garlic powder<br \/>\n1 tablespoon onion powder<br \/>\n\u00bd teaspoon fresh ground black pepper<br \/>\n1 teaspoon ground cardamom<br \/>\n1 teaspoon each orange and lemon powder (or rind)<br \/>\n1 teaspoon paprika<br \/>\n1 teaspoon powdered ginger<br \/>\n\u00bd teaspoon kosher salt<br \/>\n\u00bd teaspoon cayenne pepper<br \/>\n\u00bd teaspoon chili powder<br \/>\n\u00bc cup brown sugar<\/p>\n<p>I like to double or triple this recipe and make a large amount as it can be stored easily. Put all your ingredients in a small food processor to mix them thoroughly. While they blend, add an incantation like:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Meat when rubbed with herbs and zest<br \/>\nBrings to us, providence!<br \/>\nWhen heated \u2018pon my sacred grill<br \/>\nLife becomes bountiful!\u2019&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The recipe goes on to describe preparation of meat and grill. I\u2019m sure everyone has some idea how to proceed from here, but if not, this recipe alone and it\u2019s counterpart for the ribs themselves definitely makes purchasing this book a steal.
