Melusina de Melita is the pen-name of Krystyna Jolanta Wojnarowicz. She is the co-author with Dennis William Hauck of the book Coction: The Art of Alchemical Cooking (2026), which is based on her original two-volume set The Coction Chronicles: Food As In-Formation (Part 1): Opening The Source Code Of Light and The Coction Chronicles (Part 2): Preparation Of Edible Talismans.

Krystyna has an MBA and is an internationally recognized specialist in advanced information technologies. Her innovative thinking extends beyond modern technology, and her primary area of interest is now in natural information systems, while her ongoing research centers on exploring the alchemical aspects of epigenetics, nourishment, and cellular consciousness.

Krystyna always wanted to write a metaphysical cookbook based on her private meditations about cooking and nourishment. She eventually assembled a collection of novel recipes, and before long, she was mentoring a number of male chefs wanting to learn alchemical cooking—a craft not taught in any culinary school.

As word of her cooking skills spread, Krystyna found herself preparing meals for fancy dinners such as Consular functions and advising professional chefs and restaurants. One popular chef in Malta asked her to design a theme for his restaurant that included fermentation equipment. And the world-renowned MarCasar Winery said of Krystyna: “Her alchemical knowledge was instrumental in creating our new natural CBD wine, and the wine label design expresses the very essence of this unique wine as a harmonious alchemical marriage of merlot grapes and organic hemp buds.”

Daniel Saldivia Cabre, Chef and Restaurateur in Orlando, Florida, said of her cooking: “It was awesome cooking together with her! I've learned a great deal about symbolism of food and plants, and I encouraged her to write a book about it. It is of great importance to share Nature's Light with a wider audience and I'm happy seeing it materialize.”
