Prodea Cookbook: Good Food and Traditions from Paganistan's Oldest Coven Magenta Griffith

You won't find any eye of newt or toe of frog in this witches' kitchen. What you'll find instead is a collection - more than three decades in the making - of seasonal and regional foods for celebration and mindful eating from the Land of Sky Waters: Cinnamon Wild Rice Pudding, Pesto delle Streghe (the "pesto of the witches"), and what may well be the world's oldest Yule recipe. Plus tales and wisdom from living Midwest Pagan tradition, including a breathtaking repertoire of natural dyestocks for the most beautiful Ostara eggs ever. Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch came to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of the Twin Cites' foremost men-in-black. Historian and ethicist Magenta Griffith fell in love with Minnehaha Falls at first sight and has lived here ever since.(And yes, the name is from Rocky Horror.) Paganistan is the Secret Witch Name of Minneapolis-St. Paul and the 13 surrounding counties. (But don't tell anyone we told you so.)
