Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Karri Ann Allrich's Cooking by Moonlight pursues the revival of interest in foods relating to natural and feminist religions. Commencing with a description of the importance of following nature's cycle of waxing and waning moons, Allrich prescribes invocations to assorted goddesses and notes what sorts of foods are appropriate to the moon phases as they recur throughout a lunar year. Allrich advocates for organic foods, and she presents a complement of recipes without red meat. Recipes include cheesecake and other modern dishes, and they call for popular contemporary ingredients such as balsamic vinegar, coconut milk, and dried cranberries. But most of Allrich's recipes are for simple, uncomplicated dishes on the order of quesadillas, Roasted Tomatoes Provencal, Raspberry-Peach Cobbler, and Chocolate-Mint Brownies. Mark Knoblauch

LOVE this book!! The blessings are very nice, and I like how she explains the concept of seasonal eating, and how different foods are complimentary to the seasons. This information goes well with her other book 'Cooking By the Seasons', which I also highly recommend.
My favorite recipes are: chilled roasted red pepper soup, chilled avacado soup with lime, savory muffins, balsamic roasted chicken with peppers (this one is DIVINE!), crabmeat enchiladas (not authentic Mexican food, but not meant to be; VERY good!), and lemon herb cookies, pumpkin cheesecake (yummy!). Like her other cook book, the recipes are exotic enough to be exciting, but not so exotic that it's hard to find the ingredients. Unlike her other cook book, this one is NOT vegetarian.
If you are a Pagan, then you will probably love this book. If you are not, then you should try to look past the things that you don't like and go straight to the recipes. They are worth any skimming you might have to do.

The recipes comprising Cooking By Moonlight: A Witch's Guide To Culinary Magic are in balance with the seasons and in harmony with the phases of the moon. From Pesto Artichoke Hearts Baked in Parmesan; Orange-Walnut Scones; and Creamy Garlic Grits; to Maple-Pecan Roasted Squash; Strawberry Snow; and Blue Moon Berry Crisp, Cooking By Moonlight recipes are easy to prepare, delightful to serve, and delicious to consume. Of special value to Wiccans are the additional chapters devoted to "Love Foods and Practical Magic", "Using Herbs and Spices Magically", "Lunar Lessons and Moonlit Menus", and "Goddess-Worth Beverages".

Karri Ann Allrich does it again in this new cookbook, Cooking By Moonlight.
In this book, she explains what foods, herbs and spices should be eaten with each lunar phase as well as which season, and provides details why these food items are so important to us physically and spiritually, as well as why each lunar phase is so important to us as well.
She includes a dictionary that gives explanation to the meaning behind each food item, plus ways in which to utilize them.
The book includes ideas on how to stock your pantry, which is extremely useful if you are new to cooking on a regular basis, or if you are trying to eat healthier as one will if you use this book.
She also offers menu ideas for each moon, and describes the meaning behind that lunar month.
She also clarifies how we should listen to out bodies as to what they need. The manner in which she described this made so much sense to me, it made me feel better about my body size and shape.
Her recipes are easy to read, effortless to prepare and delicious to eat. Examples of some of the delectable dishes you too can enjoy from this book are: Santa Fe Rice, Grapefruit and Spinach Salad, Balsamic Roasted Chicken With Peppers, Chilled Cucumber Soup, and Strawberry Snow.
This cookbook was so good, I also recommend Karri Allrich�s new cookbook entitled: "Cooking by the Seasons".
