NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY VANITY FAIR • “Every recipe Courtney McBroom’s writes turns the basics into deliciousness and pairs perfectly with Melinda Lee Holm’s magickal prowess.”—Christina Tosi, chef/owner of Milk Bar
With a flick of the wrist and a shuffle of your favorite tarot deck, you’re on your way to a life of kitchen witchery. In Divine Your Dinner, tarot priestess Melinda Lee Holm and chef Courtney McBroom have conjured up a feast for the mind, body, and spirit.
Each of the 78 recipes in this cookbook interprets a specific tarot card and its energy. Pull a card—at random or with intent—from your deck, flip to the card’s corresponding recipe, and you’ll find magickal ingredients to infuse your meals with spiritual energy from the Tarot.
• Boost your powers of reflection with The Moon’s Pumpkin Corn Bread
• Fight Five of Swords anxiety with Salt and Juniper Berries: Confit a Duck!
• Relax into The Empress’s nurturing love with A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rosé Punch
Making magick has never been so deliciously easy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this lighthearted debut, tarot reader Holm and chef McBroom invoke a delightful mix of tarot-inspired dishes designed to "integrat purpose into your palate." Recipes—each of which corresponds to a tarot card—are divided into four "suits," matching Air, Fire, Water, and Earth energies with common ingredients used in spell books to nurture both the divine and the physical (like juniper berries, frankincense, and chicory root). Home cooks are encouraged to choose their own adventure—either by making a recipe based on a card or by picking an ingredient with "some energy that sounds good" from the "Magickal Ingredient Pantry" and finding its corresponding recipes. The cinnamon and ginger in the Eight of Swords' chicken tagine can help "open your imagination," while the Page of Cups' "sensual" stone fruit cobbler is perfect for ridding oneself of "the residue of heartaches past." Meals run the gamut from the savory to desserts and drinks, traversing cultures (giant bahn mì, bagna cauda "crudités," fondue) and conjuring moods (for a little introspection, sip on the pomegranate julep), all while offering dashes of positive wisdom along the way. Even if readers aren't converted, there's lots to appreciate in this entertaining collection.
