Enhancing Your Kitchen Magick 

Colors

Through visualization or the color of the food itself, you can bring the energy of color into your kitchen magick.  Hold your hands over the food and visualize the particular color energy you need radiating into the food, much the same way that you would bless or charge the ingredients when preparing a meal.  You might wish to plan a menu based around a particular color to incorporate more of its energy into your life, and you can also use combinations of color, for example red tomatoes served with a green spinach salad for growing fortitude.   Another way to work with colors in kitchen witchery is to choose the colors of your dishes, serving platters, napkins, tablecloths, and other kitchen items with magickal intention, depending on the energy or mood you wish to invoke.

Numbers

All recipes have measurements or yields that can be considered for symbolism, including the number of cups or teaspoons the recipe calls for, or even what size pan is suggested.  You could also use symbolic numbers in deciding how many spoonfuls, slices, stalks, etc., to serve or eat.  For instance, you might pace 21 teaspoonfuls of a favorite soup in each bowl to commemorate a loved one who recently went to Summerland, or eat five bites of carrot before embarking on a divinatory attempt to improve supernatural "sight."  If these options don't seem possible with your recipe, you can always try to stir, test, or check a mixture a preset number of times for much the same results.

Aromatherapy 

The tempting aromas of food, which often cause even the most reserved individual to snitch a taste, can also become a vehicle for cooking magick.  The more savory or aromatic a meal is, the better.  For individuals who have to be careful due to dietary restrictions, specific scents can be incorporated through the use of potpourri, incense, scented candles, and essential oils.
