How to be a domestic witch

cauldronBest-selling author and white witch Titania Hardie is back, this time in the kitchen. So follow her enchanting culinary advice and season your dishes with some magic

Any food prepared with love has magic in it, said Isabel Allende. Taking this idea one step further is third-generation white witch Titania Hardie, who has conjured up a cookbook for enchanting your loved one and dinner guests.

Hubble Bubble focuses on the eternal preoccupations of attraction, fertility, health and home, and uses recipes as spells to give your food magical properties. 'Magic is to be shared with family and friends,' says Titania. 'You can weave a charm around your guests at a summer picnic or at the Christmas table, and your loved one or gaggle of guests will fall under your spell of delight.'

'The cornerstone of this concept is that you can manifest everything you want through powerful, concentrated thought… food then becomes the medium through which your magic reaches others.'

Food prepared in this way will also turn out tasting better. 'Dishes will work well; nothing will seem too difficult. Cooking up your ingredients with a feeling of their magical potential will alter your awareness of the littlest things around you… Magic will be infused in your very touch, on all things.'
