Chocolate Herb Truffles | Witchin' in the Kitchen

chocolate herb truffles

At this stage of winter, when most people are lamenting enough is enough and over it, I’m doing my best to dig in with renewed fortitude. I enjoy the bundling, the sloshing, the breathing in of the icy morning that wakes you up. I enjoy being in the chilly kitchen with simmering stocks and roasting vegetables in the oven. […]

feta preserved in olive oil

Exciting news! I have an article over at Food52 today on feta and all of the wonderful ways to use it. Check it out! I’ve also shared a couple recipes over at Food52 that I haven’t posted here, including this recipe for feta preserved in olive oil. Oil is a remarkable preservative and has long been […]

Flatbread Stuffed with Feta, Onion and Herbs | Witchin' in the Kitchen

flatbread stuffed with feta, onion + herbs

This is short little update for today with a recipe for something I don’t make too often – bread! But not just any bread – fried flatbreads stuffed with a savory smattering of herbs, onion and cheese. They are a wonderful accompaniment to a larger meal, like curries or soups, but I’ve also eaten them with a […]

Spinach + Swiss Chard Pie in a Phyllo Crust | Witchin' in the Kitchen

spinach + swiss chard pie in a phyllo crust

It’s mid-Winter and I find myself perpetually daydreaming of trips to much warmer, cheerier places than where I am right now. Talk about a metaphor for life, right? The inability (or unwillingness) to be in the present moment; the always looking back or looking forward; the discomfort or anxiety we feel when we’re not doing, […]

Blue Cornmeal Pancakes | Witchin' in the Kitchen

blue cornmeal pancakes

When we were in Santa Fe last October, O and I spent our last morning at the farmers market down by the rail yard. With our body clocks still set to two hours ahead on East Coast time and our bellies empty and growling, we were among the first people to arrive. I love visiting markets whenever I travel, because […]

Noodles in Shiitake Ginger Broth | Witchin' in the Kitchen

More than most, I’m prone to infections, colds, and the flu. When the seasons really begin to shift, I start supplementing my diet with herbal teas and syrups to boost my immune system. My go-to medicines include elderberry syrup and fire cider as a preventative, and a tea of mullein, linden leaf, chamomile and peppermint for strengthening the throat and lungs […]

Ketchup Pie | Witchin' in the Kitchen

If you’re the kind of person who eats french fries with her ketchup; if you like your pies as adventurous as your women; if okra slime really gets you going; then this pie is for you. With tart green tomatoes, sliced stars of okra, and an ample dose of brown sugar and golden raisins, this pie […]

Welcome to the new Witchin’ in the Kitchen! This blog just celebrated its fourth anniversary this summer, and it felt time for a change. Aside from a new look and feel, I hope that the new design makes it easier for you to discover seasonal recipes, preservation tips, herbal medicine techniques, and inspiration from some of my […]

spring goddess soup

spring goddess soup

I wasn’t planning on writing another post before I leave for Mexico, but this soup came out so well, and its ingredients are so fleeting, that it would be shameful not to share it. It was inspired by a cup of spinach, parsley, lemon soup with sour cream that I tasted at Soup’s On, my […]
