Wicked Baker, Helena Garcia, is back with a new book to help you witch-craft your way to a more magical life, with creative projects for you and your home.
Inspired by ancient folklore and all things mystical, Helena offers remedies for your apothecary using foraged ingredients and age-old formulae; fashion accessories for your witch's wardrobe; enchanting homewares and decorations; devilishly delicious recipes both sweet and savoury; and tipsy tonics.
With Helena's creepy ideas, you'll learn how to make playful projects like an evil eye choker, peppermint foot spray, a Christmas spider wreath, and piranha fish pie, among many others. All you need are simple materials and ingredients, a little imagination, and a sprinkling of sorcery.
 
From the author Helena Garcia:
"This witch-crafting handbook is a pretty accurate representation of everything I love to make. I truly believe that those who are crafty in the kitchen can transfer their creative skills to other areas. Fashion and interiors have been a life-long passion for me; the kitchen, however, remains the most important room in the house. It’s where true magic is made – and make no mistake, transforming simple ingredients into a wholesome meal is a love enchantment.
I invite and encourage you to look deeper into tradition; more often than not, simple practices of everyday life will have their roots in some sort of fear of witches or the devil. It’s absurd and fascinating in equal measure, yet ancient practices are not to be dismissed, as there’s wisdom to be rediscovered.
My main objective, however, will always be to inspire and tempt you to the ‘dark’ side. It is simply more fun! As the old saying goes: go to Heaven for the climate and Hell for the company."
