Erika Kubick is an author, artist, recipe developer, and practitioner living in Chicago. In 2015, she founded Cheese Sex Death as a blog devoted to educating, exciting, and empowering cheese lovers everywhere. Since then, she has amassed an international following and published two books: Cheese Sex Death: A Bible for the Cheese Obsessed in 2021 and, her most recent, Cheese Magic: Seasonal Recipes, Plates, and Pairings out now. Her mission is to inspire others to connect with the natural world through food, ritual, and other earthly pleasures.
On this episode, Erika discusses the connections between cheese and witchcraft, divine dairy deities, and magical feasting for the holiday season.
Pam also talks about “fromage mystique,” and answers a listener question about simple rituals for burnt-out witches.
