what do you need to set up a Kitchen Witch Altar 

Wooden spoons   (  I got mine from mykitchenwands.com    )  
Box or Shelf  ( the one in the photo Daw made himself )  
a Kitchen Witch Doll ( this can be a statue or a doll or anything to resemble or symbolize your kitchen witch
3 Clay Offering bowls   
a candle  symbolic of fire so red and orange are appropriate 
spices  
A miniature cauldron
Crystals and seashells.
 Stones that are particularly useful in the kitchen include clusters of clear or smoky quartz to combat radiation given off by electrical appliances, citrine in the eating area to aid digestion, and rose quartz or amethyst to promote harmony. Rose quartz also brings blessings to food preparation and inspires extra creativity when cooking
plants ( herbs ) 
Photos of loved ones such as grandmother or someone who taught you how to cook

( there is no wrong way to do this so let your imagination run wild with ideas )

an altar can be anything from the corner of a shelf, to a dedicated table. A witch does not want an altar where spillages or accidents can occur, but at the same time needs it to be within easy reach and view.

Perishable  offerings like seeds or spices or bread etc will need to be changed regularly to avoid going stale

The kitchen witch’s altar provides a focus for intent. It gives thanks to the goddess in the form of offerings, serves as a sacred space for working ritual magic,
