100 Magical, Healing Recipes & Herbal Remedies To Nourish Body, Mind & Spirit
Add a little magic to every element of your life—from food to beauty to healthcare.
Cooking is a form of magic and recipes are enchantments that can alter our physical and mental states, help us to heal, find balance, and bring joy. And perhaps most of all, it is a form of magic that is meant to be shared.
In this magical culinary spell book, you can find natural recipes made with ingredients that work together to support different organs and systems in the body.
There are recipes to boost immunity, give energy, sleep, support fertility, digestion, detox and reproductive processes, and much more... Healing potions and tonics from immune boosters to sleep inducers... And natural, plant-based beauty care ranging from masks to skin serums and even pain cream.
Every recipe is accompanied by nutritional explanations that lay out the benefits of each ingredient, as well as a « Witch’s Secret » with suggestions on how to transform or amplify the recipe, like adding one extra ingredient to transform the recipe into something new, a different way to cook or prepare it, or a way to use leftovers (in pursuit of sustainable cooking and living). You will even find chapters devoted to culinary secrets and lifestyle tips...
This fantastical collection of culinary delights teaches a respect for nature with indulgent and healing pleasures. You can learn how to imbue every day with magic with The Natural Witch’s Cookbook.

The Modern Witch...
After centuries of persecution, the witch is back.
The modern witch more closely ressembles the ancient archetype of the woman as healer and
feminine strength and rebellion than the patriarchal representations of witches according to Shakespeare and Walt Disney...
Today’s witch is far closer to the Earth-loving, science upholding, sage-burning, crystal wielding, sustainability-adhering, plant-loving kind.
In tune with her intuitions and respectful of the Earth’s cycles, the modern witch (men included) uses a deep knowledge of the elements, food medicine, naturopathy and herbalism in an effort to optimize the medicinal benefits of each ingredient in her creations.
About the Author...
Lisanna Wallance grew up in New York, attending Barnard College of Columbia University before moving to Paris to continue a career in fashion.
She was born with a hereditary condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that causes dysfunction throughout the body. Her symptoms worsened and she found herself bed-ridden, unable to work and could barely walk or eat at times because of complications from her chronic illnesses.
When western medications did not help her, she turned to her passion for cooking as a way to help heal herself with food and plant medicine. She spent years experimenting with her diet, studying plant medicinal systems from India to China and South America, and pursuing alternative therapies as a way to regain control over her life.
This cookbook is the culmination of the medicinal knowledge she acquired during her health journey. Returning to her childhood love of the magical, becoming a « witch » and using nature to heal was a way to sublimate her suffering and to help others.
