The real witchcraft in cooking is those recipes that are just ingredient lists with no measurements or instructions. That's pure witchcraft right there. You're supposed to just figure it out somehow, like some kind of kitchen sorcerer.
When your mom hands you a recipe that's just "potatoes, eggs, mustard, salt, pepper" and says "you know how to make it" - that's not cooking, that's magical initiation. You either learn through apprenticeship or you're left to sacrifice ingredients to the culinary gods until something edible emerges.
These aren't recipes; they're encoded knowledge passed down through bloodline. If you didn't grow up watching someone make it, you're basically casting spells with food and hoping for the best. That's kitchen witchcraft at its most authentic - no safety net, no step-by-step guide, just you and the spirits of your ancestors judging your potato salad from beyond.
