A Recipe Grimoire for the Kitchen
The Witch's Cookbook by Fortune Noir bills itself as a recipe grimoire, and that framing is exactly right. It's not a textbook of traditional kitchen witchcraft, but it is a beautifully presented hardcover cookbook that brings a witchy aesthetic and intentional approach to everyday cooking. Over 50 recipes are organized across breakfast and brunch, lunch and dinner, appetizers and sides, and desserts, each with a witchcraft-themed name and a brief introduction explaining its magical associations.
Fortune Noir is a nonbinary witch who identifies the magical properties of specific ingredients and connects recipes to deities, seasons, and intentions throughout the book. Cerridwen Goddess Pancakes, Toadstool Toppers, the Evening Elixir, and Midnight Berry Pavlovas are the kinds of dishes you'll find here: familiar enough to cook on a weeknight, named in a way that marks the meal as something more than fuel. The photography is consistently praised by readers as stunning, with high-quality, well-staged images for most recipes.
Witch Tips and Practical Kitchen Magic
Scattered throughout the book are Witch Tips: short sidebars that offer additional spells, blessings, and kitchen magic practices tied to specific dishes or ingredients. These tips are where the witchcraft content gets most specific, connecting the act of cooking to seasonal rhythms, lunar cycles, and intentional living. Most recipes use common pantry staples, with a small number of specialty ingredients like black rice ramen available at Asian grocery stores.

The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock The Witch's Cookbook because it sits in a genuinely useful category: a gift book that's also a functional cookbook. The production quality is high, the recipes are approachable, and the witchcraft framing gives it a character that plain cookbooks lack. It works particularly well as a seasonal gift around Samhain, Yule, or any time you want to give something that bridges the kitchen and the craft.
