 Love this author! September 22, 2008
The recipes are okay, (I'm not vegetarian), but it's the other content that makes this book truly special. Somehow she manages to find the spiritual link between the ancient and the modern, and I adore her for it! She is also a co-author of "Celebrating the Great Mother" I didn't recognize her name right away, but I quickly recognized her writing. Both books include thoughtful meditations, and rituals that skip the pomp and focus on the meaning. Her books make me feel grounded, while at the same time spirit soars. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her writing, and wish there was more!
 Suprised April 4, 2007

I was suprised that this was a vegan/vegetarian cookbook. After that wore off, I liked the book. I like books that I don't have to actually cook to enjoy. I was able to curl up with a glass of wine and read this without ever have to turn on the oven. I tagged some recipes to try later and have found the ones that have been made to be good. I am looking forward to making some more of them.

I loved this book! The recipes were beautiful and tasty but more importantly (to me at least) its a cookbook I could curl up with and read without even turning on the oven. Enjoyable and relaxing!!
Somewhat Disappointed October 19, 2006

I've had this book on my Wish List for a while and finally recieved it. While I have not yet read it cover to cover, I did look at all the recipes and this is when my disappointment set in.
I was not expecting a vegetarian/vegan cookbook. Nowhere in the book's description does it states that the recipes are vegetarian or vegan. The recipes in the book, however, do sound good and I plan to try them out, but perhaps Cait Johnson or Destiny Books should label their books accordingly in the future. Kitchen Witches do not have to be vegetarian or vegan.
Good recipes seasoned with fun.... September 29, 2005

If you are like me and looking for ways to eat veggies without being obvious, you will enjoy some of Cait Johnson's ideas for soups, salads and breads.
The big plus is that most of Cait's recipes are fairly healthful. Take the Cailleach or Kale-Leek Soup. Made without cream or butter, it includes olive oil and two veggies that are good for you.
Arranged seasonally, Johnson't book begins with Autumn (Mabon and Samhain fare) and continues through the witch's year to the festivities in mid-Spring when Johnson offers the reader-cook a lovely Miso soup and Salad Nests that are good for you and don't taste too bad (if you like sprouts, it will help).
I'm not much of a summer cook, but Titania's Cherry Soup made with honey, yogurt and Maple syrup finally allows me to make something other than muffins with my spring cherries. The Midsummer salad helps me make use of the various excess from the stock of hot peppers I grow every year for my parrots and my son-in-law. One of my favorite soups, however, is the Tomato-Venus soup around the feast of Lugh which I prefer to the cherry soup, which seems truly weird to me. Or, there's Juno's Summer Quiche if you can bear to turn on the oven.
In addition to following the Wheel of the Year and it's holidays as an organizing principle for her text, Johnson includes a little mystical background information about each of the various celebrations along with a list of supplies and other-worldly information.
