The Real Witches' Kitchen: Spells, Recipes, Oils, Lotions and Potions from the Witches' Hearth ReviewThis book is FULL of wonderful recipes & is a great companion to the Real Witches Handbook. For those not familiar with Kate West, she's a Brit high priestest & writer. Her books are easy to read & well organized for both beginner & advanced students.
Because her work is read in different countries all over the world, there are 1-2 measurement units that require conversion to US standards. But these are simple elementary conversions. However the bulk of her recipes are in standard formats any wiccan would find in any other book. The oils, teas, & bath products recipes are given in drops, tsp, & tbsp (standard). The dry insence, potpourri, & herb recipes are given in parts (standard).
The only "tricky" measurements are in the food recipes. Since some but not all of her readers are American, she gives recipes in standard units that are familiar to most countries. (All Europeans, Austrailians, & Americans are familiar with pints.) If you prefer your measures in cups, then just remember back to 5th grade math: 1 (british)pint=2.5cups (1 US pint=2cups). And if you look right there on your measuring cup, you will probably have measurements for ounces listed right along side the cup measurements since 8oz=1cup. Or you can simply remember: 1 oz=2 tbsp
This is not rocket science, folks, so don't be scared off by customer reviews complaining about having to do simple conversions. Many times, Ms. West supplies conversions for you, such as a Harvest Moonshine recipe with calls for "8 pints (20 cups) water". Really, the pints measurements are the only "confusing" aspect, (if you are so inclined to be confused).
ALL US recipes use cups, tbsp, tsp, drops, pinches, pounds, ounces, & parts......and so does Ms. West. However, if you prefer your recipes in a different format than given, you can always write down your own version in your Book of Shadows. I had no problems following the recipes though.
This book has so many great recipes & craft/gift ideas it would be a shame to allow fear of simple math to scare you away. Here is a review of the Chapters & content which will hopefully help you in your decision on whether you would like this book:
