From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, music, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, and so forth within a particular population comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of that culture, subculture, or group. It is also the set of practices through which those expressive genres are shared. The academic and usually ethnographic study of folklore is sometimes called folkloristics.

In usage, there is a continuum between folklore and mythology. Stith Thompson made a major attempt to index the motifs of both folklore and mythology, providing an outline into which new motifs can be placed, and scholars can keep track of all older motifs.

Kitchen witch folklore tells us the kitchen witch is a good witch, making the kitchen a warm, cozy, and comfortable place to be in. She is a gentle, whimsical, loving creature, performing wonderful magic that out tricks the bad witch, who is full of mischief . Therefore, the bad witch looses her power to foil and ruin your cooking. According to ledgend, cakes, breads, and other pastries will rise according to recipes. Milk will not sour or spoil. Cooking pots won't boil over. Toast, potatoes, and rice won't burn. Spices you mix will be perfect, as well as the tea and coffee you serve. Whatever the ledgend, kitchen witches really do make you laugh, so I guess the comfort part is right. Oh, now I have to have one!!
