Lentil-Barley Vegetable Soup

Posted on July 15, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Some people think any female practitioner of magic is called a witch.  I am a mage, not a witch, though- to clarify- there’s nothing wrong with being a witch! In fact, several of my dearest friends are witches. From them, I … Continue reading →

Caulifredo

Posted on July 1, 2015 by FoodArchMage

So, the time of year has come when mage’s robes are the most cumbersome, and days go by where I can’t seem to cool off, no matter how many walls of ice I cast. Running the oven would only make … Continue reading →

No-Noodle Lasagna

Posted on June 3, 2015 by FoodArchMage

I have to confess a couple of things that I haven’t quite figured out how to replace since becoming a mage. First, I haven’t found a spell more situationally effective than a well-timed threat. But that’s probably true for most … Continue reading →

Roasted Sweet Potato Rito Bowls

Posted on May 13, 2015 by FoodArchMage

It’s a little-known fact that there are licences and regulations for magic, all over the world. And not all of them operate as smoothly as the Ministry of Magic! Out here in the mountains, the Magic Bureau is so small … Continue reading →

Deconstructed Lasagna

Posted on May 6, 2015 by FoodArchMage

A knowledge of the fundamentals of spells and magic has given me a lot of confidence. I know if I’m in a new, uncomfortable situation, I can go back to basics and at the very least, set the whole place … Continue reading →

Lasagna Soup

Posted on April 29, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Spellcraft is all about building on what you already know, and that skill totally carries over to cooking! I’ve seen several different recipes for lasagna soup in my travels. It always seemed like a brilliant idea, but each recipe was … Continue reading →

Red Lentil and Veg Marinara

Posted on April 1, 2015 by FoodArchMage

There are lots of decent illusions out there for upgrading your pasta- using a spiralizer (which is so fun!) to make “noodles” out of veggies, non-traditional grains/flours, or even substituting spaghetti squash- but there hasn’t been a lot of advancement … Continue reading →

Un-chiladas!

Posted on March 25, 2015 by FoodArchMage

Un-chiladas! I’ve talked before about substitution, re-invention, and conjuration, and we’ve picked up a bit of alchemy along the way. Today’s recipe, though, is a different breed of magic. We’re working with fusion. I love black beans and salsa. Any … Continue reading →

Invisibility/ Obfuscation (Sloppy Joe Lentils)

Posted on January 22, 2015 by FoodArchMage

People generally think of plant magic as subtractive. You take meat out of things, and then make due. Like most common conceptions, this one doesn’t hold up under close scrutiny.
