Synopsis

It is time to take the heart of the matter to the heat of the kitchen, taking in the Tarot like the scent of warm cookies, just from the oven. Depicted with the wisdom and delight of a home-spun conversation around a kitchen table, this deck presents 78 hand-painted images that revolve around a lively culinary theme. Bright colors and often whimsical humor provide an instant connection and reading experience for anyone who has ever put two slices of bread together. In a narrative style, the accompanying comprehensive guide provides a sophisticated understanding of Tarot Archetypes and philosophy. Card meanings are based on the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith standard, yet project their own original flavor. This deck and guide is a must-have for both the serious Tarot practitioner, as well as for those looking to find spirituality in their everyday lives. Bon Appétit!
