kitchen witch is setting you up with different ways to support your experimenting, invoke your curiosity, and rouse your senses from the depths of slumber cast upon you by the power of diet culture and mainstream nutrition advice.
nourishing yourself can be so simple and doesn’t require ingredients only found in the forbidden forest of Whole Foods. and it can still pack a potent punch of magic and nutrition.
the first time i picked up a healthy cookbook i couldn’t wait to make my first recipe because i had one goal:
to be well nourished.
but all i found in that cookbook were expensive ingredients, shameful language, and stories about spending the entire day cooking like i don’t have a mountain of laundry to do, emails to send, and friends to see. it would’ve cost me over $100 (and 6 hours of my sunday) to make a dish with 2 servings the size of my palm.
which made me realize that all i thought about nourishment, how it all needed to be as clean and pure as possible and difficult to choke down, was shit.
because if nourishment was what i saw on ig influencer’s pages, in magazines, and in that cookbook, i should’ve felt a whole lot more at peace in my body, mind, and heart. and, well, i felt anything but.
which is why i care so much about you making foods that taste as good as they feel in your body and to have the freedom to adjust and play with them based on what you have on hand, to meet your body’s needs as they change depending on what’s happening in your life.
