    Good-for-you Southern food from the author of Cajun Low-Carb, including shrimp and okra gumbo, crawfish etouffee, pain perdu, and more.   Delicious food has always been a part of the Cajun joie de vivre. But people traditionally associate it with high-fat, high-calorie dishes, which don’t complement a heart-healthy lifestyle. Certified culinary professional Chef Jude W. Theriot has broken apart the myth that Cajun cooking can’t be low in fat and calories and still remain tasty with his fifth cookbook, Cajun Healthy.   The secret behind Theriot’s approach is not to rely so heavily on ingredient substitutes. Instead, he focuses on maintaining many of the ingredients from the original recipes and simply altering the amounts used of those that pose health risks. Some substitutes are used but only in the interest of preserving the consistency, coloring, and presentation of the dish. This means the full-bodied flavor of each recipe still comes from the same spices, sauces, meats, and kitchen staples that have made Cajun cooking such a delicacy.   Among the more than two hundred recipes in this volume are standards of the Louisiana kitchen, like gumbos, jambalayas, etouffees, as well as new features from his family kitchen just teeming with Cajun influences. Theriot has added a little something special to each of his dishes to make them unique and fresh to even the most well-trained Cajun palate. In addition, he always offers his standard lagniappe of helpful hints for the kitchen and even a little background for each dish’s development.

    “Jennie’s blend of witchcraft and hygge resonates so deeply with me. In Hearth and Home Witchcraft, Jennie’s book is a joyful and supportive exploration of domestic witchcraft. Nourishment and comfort are important themes here, as is accessibility; you don't need a background in magick to start exploring hearth-craft.” —Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Green Witch, The House Witch, and other books For author Jennie Blonde, witchcraft is, in and of itself, comforting. Sure, there are not-so-comfortable parts as well—working with the shadow, coming face to face with that which holds you back. Jennie’s witchcraft is about connecting with the magic of nature, your higher self, and something beyond—a deity, deities, Spirit, the universe—and being comfortable with your true self in all aspects of your life. “In times of anxiety,” Jennie writes, “I turn to my practice. When I need a moment of calm and reflection, I retreat to my sacred space for quiet meditation, pulling tarot cards, and journaling to nourish my soul. When I want to nourish my family, I turn to my garden and herbs and cauldron (my stockpot) for a bit of kitchen witchery. When I wish to nourish my body, I turn to mindful movement, self-care rituals, and spell work. And throughout the day, every day, there are small rituals I perform to keep me connected to my practice. It’s all of those things together that are the heart of my craft.”Hearth and Home Witchcraft explores the following topics:  rituals for protection and cleansing the hearth and home  kitchen witchery, creating a kitchen altar, and recipes and rituals for nourishment  the witch’s altar, tools, and spells, and creating a sacred space, no matter the size of the home  herbs and plants, grounding rituals, and meditations to connect you with the earth  witchy self-care, complete with rituals and recipes for ritual bath salts, oils, balms, and more
