Laura May's Recipe for Kitchen Magic
Inside the pages of Kitchen Magic: Over 65 Enchanting Recipes and Rituals for a Cozy, Witchy Kitchen and the stories that inspired them
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
It's easy to forget where our food comes from when most of us move through at least one meal each day on autopilot. Breakfast between emails. Lunch at our desks. Dinner in front of the television. Laura May, cookbook author and creator of @lauramayritualkitchen invites us to slow down, reconnecting with seasonality (and the harvests seasons yield) and rediscovering the folklore hidden in the ingredients we enjoy every day.
Laura shares her favourite summer kitchen witch ingredients for everything from allergy remedies and herbal teas to midsummer menus, seasonal rituals and the meals that carry us from breakfast through supper, along with the meanings behind the ingredients.
Sip Your Way Through Summer with Paige Comrie
From patio pours to travel-inspired bottles, @winewithpaige shares how to find the right bottle, pair it well and enjoy every last drop

The world of wine can feel like an exclusive club, guarded by an impenetrable velvet rope and scary bouncer. Paige Comrie is that friend who’s always on the list and waves you through like you’ve belonged all along. She welcomes you in, pours the glass and makes it all feel within reach.
Her approach doesn’t rely on jargon or ceremony. It’s grounded in curiosity, built through experience and shaped by a genuine interest in the glass and the story it carries with it. A Sauvignon Blanc can take you to New Zealand. A chilled red can shift the tone of a summer table. The right pairing can turn a simple meal into something especially memorable.
Paige introduces wine as a passport, to different worlds and regions alike, sharing how to choose a bottle without second-guessing, how to pair it in a way that makes sense, and even what to do when a spill threatens to leave a mark.
