Since I am kinda witch, I believe that the kitchen is sacred and food is magic. I celebrate the fertility of the earth, which I love and thus respect. Tabiti, Ancient goddess, the patroness of fire, the hearth and the beasts, is the one I listen to. I meet wild wise women around a fire, whom I share with and learn from -wisdom and recipes. My main tools are my hands, and my favorite recipients are basic, rustic ones. I consider my wooden spoon to be a wand, and my stove represents fire. To me, cooking a meal is a ritual by itself. Colors, smells, flavors, textures, seasonal ingredients, bold herbs, sassy species, all that glitters is gold and all that sizzles is a party by itself! Planting, growing, nourishing, harvesting, cooking, eating greens and grains, are the circle of Life itself. Nurture your plants and they will nurture you. Good foods are good life.
