During that time, she penned many memorable titles, including Victorian Grimoire, Goddess in my Pocket, Spinning Spells; Weaving Wonders, and the first edition of Kitchen Witch’s Cookbook. After a decade’s pause, she’s returned to the keyboard with Cooking with the Kitchen Witch and the forthcoming Kitchen Witch’s Guide to Food Divination.
Her two mottos: Open hearth, open heart. Dance in your kitchen, play with your food.
Trish also has two mainstream cooking titles, Everything Canning and Preserving and Grilling for Beginners.

Netism is the science and spirituality of interconnection. “To live Netism is to rember that unity is not an ideal, but a field of study already alive within you” Nora will also have books available to purchase.
