Terrible book. First the author organizes the recipes, not in any kind of categories, but in order of "witchiness".
There are some anecdotes before every recipe but I don't know where the author gets her information from. Limes where eaten by Germanic tribes? How did they get them when limes need a tropical climate. Nasturtiums sprang from the mortal wound of a roman solider. I read a lot of roman mythology and never heard that one.
Even the recipes weren't great or just plain gross. Baking cottage cheese? I don't even know what a medium wing sauce is but the recipe wasn't in the book.
I would have thrown this book away but to many people wanted it.
