Season 1
In the lively town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making some brownies for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, they find an ancient cookbook in the attic. The recipes they find inside have strange names like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Healing Hazelnut Tart" and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls go to Mama P.'s shop to get the ingredients for the "Shut 'em Up Shortcake" and when no one has any idea what they need, Mama P. reveals that she knows what the ingredients are, and she gives them the Cedronian Vanilla. They bake the cake, but when Kelly's brother Buddy and Hannah eat a bite of the shortcake and find themselves unable to talk, the three friends realize they are dealing with magic spells. At the same time as Hannah and Buddy's silence, Darbie cannot stop talking. Because of this, they also realize the spells come with a consequence.
Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magical recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. They conclude that Mama P. knows about the magic because of appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. Furthermore, they discover that the creepy neighbor Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic after she warns them to stay away from it, telling them that it is dangerous. The girls realize that they are the protectors of the magical cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P., Ms. Silvers and Kelly's grandmother Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one overriding goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness, even if it means crossing creepy Mama P. or scary Ms. Silvers. As the girls work together they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so are Mama P. (whose curse does not let her leave Saffron Falls) and Ms. Silvers (whose curse does not let her play the piano in public). The girls, while trying to free Grandma Quinn of her curse, uncover various mysteries of the past.

Season 2
After Kelly, Hannah, and Darbie free the town of Mama P's curse with their "Last-Ditch Layer Cake", they also break Grandma Quinn, and Ms. Silvers's curse, enabling them to talk again and play in public. But they also realize that they broke every curse, which means they brought back Chuck Hankins, a teenage boy from the 60's who had suddenly gone missing because of Becky (Grandma Quinn), Gina (Ms.Silvers and Ida (Mama P). Now he wants revenge and The Oc's (Original Cooks) Grandma Quinn, Ms. Silvers, and Mama P. know he is dangerous even though he pretends to lose his memory. They also realize that Chuck knows about magic and wants to steal the cookbook.
When searching through old city records at the library, the girls find a picture of a high school class from 1865, when the town was founded with Chuck in it, with his name as Charles Peisser. The girls realize that Chuck is way older than the Oc's and has disappeared once before but has stayed the same age. At the same time, Chuck meets The Traveler who sacrifices her body to put a protective spell on the girls to save them from Chuck. The Oc's research more into Chuck's picture and find out that the Peissers were the richest family during that time and the West Peisser Park in Saffron Falls was a part of their estate.
At the same time, a strange symbol appears in the cookbook, and while trying to fix Jake's bike with a Fixture Spell, Kelly "fixes" the symbol and completes it to make a number - 8529. She is shocked to know that the number changes as she takes a number of steps in a certain direction. She follows the book and reaches West Peisser Park. Chuck has an invisible trailer right in front of Kelly's eyes, but Kelly is unable to see it. The girls try meeting The Traveler for help but she appears in all three of their dreams and says "Rose" and tells them the book is in danger and that they have to protect it, while showing the book on fire in the dream. Through an invisibility spell and a super strength spell, the girls are able to see and enter the trailer. There they discover that Chuck has another cookbook that is stealing recipes from their cookbook. They are able to steal it, and discover that Mama P's Morbium Seed was stolen by Chuck. Mama P, who is also there, steals the seed back. The girls discover that Rose is actually Charles's (Chuck's) Little sister who is trapped in the book because of a mistake in an Immortality Spell by Chuck in the past. Chuck puts a spell on Hannah and tries to swap her for Rose, but Kelly and Darbie save her, also bringing Rose back. Chuck and Rose go back in time and live their lives, with Rose living to be 82. West Peisser Park is mysteriously changed to Rose Peisser Park.
