Plot
Season 1
In the town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah are best friends who love cooking. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls make a recipe using an ancient mysterious cookbook they find in the attic of Kelly's house. The recipes have strange names, like "Shut'em Up Shortcake" and "Hazelnut Healing Tart", and require unusual ingredients, such as "Cedronian vanilla" and "Taurian thyme". The girls visit Mama P's shop to get the ingredients for recipes. Mama P reveals that she knows what the ingredients are and the girls conclude that Mama P knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients.
Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magic recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls. Furthermore, they discover that Kelly's odd neighbor Ms. Silvers also has a connection to magic. 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 Grandma Becky. Among all this, Kelly has one main goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness. As the girls work together, they find out that Kelly's grandma Becky is under a curse, and so is 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). Then, they bake a curse-breaking pie which breaks Grandma Becky, Mrs. Silver, and Mama P's curse. Except, it also brings back Chuck.
Season 2 (Part 1)
After Kelly, Hannah, and Darbie free the town from Mama P's curse and also break Grandma Quinn, and Ms. Silvers' curse, enabling grandma to talk again and Ms. Silvers to play the piano in public. Along with this, they realize that they broke every curse, which means they brought back Chuck Hankins, a teenage boy from the ’60s who had suddenly disappeared because of The OC's (Original Cooks): Gina Silvers (Miss Silvers.), Ida Perez (Mama P.), and Rebecca Quinn (Grandma Quinn).
When searching through old city records at the library, the girls find a picture of a high school class from 1865. They recognize Chuck in it, with his name as Charles Peizer. The girls realize that Chuck is much older than the OC's and has disappeared once before but has stayed the same age. It is revealed that Charles Peizer and his sister Rose Peizer were once the protectors of the cookbook. The OC's research more into Chuck's picture and find out that the Peizers were the richest family during that time and the West Peizer Park in Saffron Falls was a part of their estate.
Chuck casts a spell to render an invisible trailer. 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. Later the original cooks put a spell on him by making him stay in Lavender Heights forever, thus stopping him from taking the cookbook and stealing the magical ingredients. However, Chuck casts another spell on Jake using Mama P's Morbium Seed and takes over Jake's body. As Jake, Chuck learns the plans to further stop him and has access to the magic spices. Chuck puts a spell on Hannah and tries to swap her for Rose, but Kelly and Darbie save her, and in the process, break Chuck's Immortality Spell, also breaking Rose's and frees her from the book. Chuck and Rose go back in time and live out their lives, with Rose living to be 82. West Peizer Park becomes Rose Peizer Park.
Season 2 (Part 2)
The book and spices are stolen from Kelly's backpack. Kelly, Hannah, and Darbie meet a previous protector from the '90s named RJ. With Jake's help, they are able to get the book back. A mysterious, but beautifully carved box, sits in Grandma Becky's antique shop, with the same fork, knife, and spoon symbol on it as the cookbook. One by one, everyone's memories of magic are being erased. Kelly, Hannah, and Darbie become suspicious of Mr.Morris, Hannah's teacher at Fox Canyon for erasing everyone's memories of magic but it wasn't him, it was Caroline, a former protecter of the cookbook, who was also disguised as Jill, Mrs. Quinn's campaign manager, and was trying to erase their memories of magic so that it would never affect anyone again. The trio submitted to Caroline's spell.
Season 3 (Part 1)
Mama P's has been bought by a coffee chain in Springtown Coffee. Kelly, Hannah, and Darbie become suspicious of the manager Erin. They soon notice clues of someone who knows that magic is real, even after all memories of magic have been erased. This, someone, stole their newly harvested Night Blooming spices, and is therefore dubbed the "Night Bandit." The girls meet Darbie's friend, Piper, and they introduce her to magic. The four of them work together to find the Night Bandit and put a stop to their crimes. It turns out that Kelly is actually the Night Bandit and she was poisoned by the spell that brought back the garden in the previous season, Come Back Kombucha Tea. In the final episode, the spell on her is broken, but the girls needed to save Grandma Becky after she disappears. They go back in time and save her, thus also creating a new spice named Parquinnien (Hannah PARker kent, Kelly QUINN, Darbie o’ brIEN; see capital letters). The cookbook moves on to Zoe, Erin's daughter and one of the new protectors.
Season 3 (Part 2)
The cookbook has moved on to the new protectors: Zoe (Erin's daughter), Ish (Zoe's neighbor) and Leo (Zoe's stepbrother). With the help of Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah, the new trio are convinced that magic exists and able to go through troubling times together.
Just Add Magic: Mystery City (2020)
In the spinoff series, new protectors Zoe (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport), Ish (Jenna Qureshi), and Leo (Tyler Sanders) are set to solve their first mystery. Zoe, wanting to learn more about her father who had died when she was two years old, uncovers a book at the library that had been associated with him. The book tells a story from the late 1800s, narrated from the point of view of Ian Maddox, who was then a protector along with brothers Clint and Folsom Wesson. The Wesson brothers grew power-hungry and created a magical sourdough starter that would help them get large quantities of gold, but the downside of the spell was that it caused mass destruction. With Charles Peizer's assistance, Ian Maddox travelled to the future to hide the starter from the Wesson brothers. Zoe, Ish, and Leo find themselves in a race against the Wessons' descendants to find the sourdough starter. Their goal is to find three coins that will help them discover where the starter is and then to destroy it once and for all—if the Wessons don't get to it first. Towards the end, with the help of Kelly, Darbie and Hannah, the trio becomes successful in saving the world from all the destruction that could have been caused by using the sourdough starter to distribute the most precious thing they have -'Magic' and as a result, the magic leaves the book and gets distributed throughout.

Hannah and Kelly argue at Mama P's, and Hannah realizes that all the things in the scrapbook would benefit Mama P, not Ms. Silvers. She meets Ms. Silvers and they discuss Mama P's plans. Ms. Silvers reveals that she too is cursed: outside her house, no one can hear her play piano. Darbie tries to stop Mama P, but Mama P locks Darbie in her secret pantry and eats the first bite of the magic recipe, so her curse will be broken, rather than Kelly's grandmother's.

|
In 1965, Rebecca Quinn (Kelly's grandmother) is on the Ferris Wheel with Chuck. He takes a bite of a candy apple and disappears. The three girls argue. Gina Silvers says the spell was just supposed to keep Chuck away from magic. Ida Perez (Mama P) asks if Rebecca got the Morbium seed back, saying that Chuck stole it. Rebecca promises Gina that they will get Chuck back. In the present, Kelly's dad lets Kelly go to the Pluot Festival because they are sending his mother away to New York for treatment and he wants the family to be together. Ms. Silvers shows up at the Pluot festival, but won't get involved and advises Hannah to abandon her friends and run away to avoid the consequences. Jake and Hannah free Darbie, and mix a magic protection protein shake. At the Pluot Festival, Kelly refuses to drink the shake and pours it out. She gives her grandmother what she thinks is the last bite of the recipe, but it does nothing. Mama P goes on stage and tells off the town. Jake gives Kelly his shake, so she can be protected. Mama P eats the actual last bite, and the entire town freezes in place except for the girls, Mama P, and Ms. Silvers. The two women bicker about who is to blame. Mama P and Ms. Silvers tell the girls that Kelly's grandmother is not innocent either – that after they cursed each other, she threw the book over a waterfall to get rid of it, in effect making their curses permanent. Mama P steals Jake's bike to ride out of town. The girls consult the book, which opens itself to a blank page, which the girls take to mean they need to create their own spell to break the curse. They go to Mama P's ingredient room and realize that they need the properties of three different ingredient families, but mixing them would modify those properties, so they make a layer cake, with each layer producing its own effect. As they bake, the recipe magically appears in the book, in their handwriting. They name it Last Ditch Layer Cake. As the girls are about to serve the cake, Ms. Silvers shows up with ground Morbium root and tells the girls she was going to use it to break her own curse, but they need it to strengthen the spell. They express confidence in their work and say they don't need it. They eat the cake, and the town starts up. In addition, Grandma is back to normal and Ms. Silvers plays piano on stage and everyone can hear her. Grandma tells them that she didn't want Kelly and the girls to be endangered by the book, but The Traveler said that the cookbook was no longer hers to give back, because it belonged to the girls. She tried to get rid of the book, tearing out the three pages, but the spell she cast backfired, and in effect she cursed herself. Grandma and Ms. Silvers realize that if their curses are broken, Chuck's might be as well, and if he's back, no one is safe. The Ferris Wheel stops, and a young man in a leather jacket with rolled up jeans steps off and walks away through the crowd, unnoticed. |

They cook a "Magnetic Pull-Ed Pork" spell to attract the spells back but when the page gets stolen into Chuck's book, it starts attracting their spells to his book instead. The girls decide to steal Chuck's book instead. First, they spy on him to figure out his daily routine. They then make mussels spell to give them super-strength but it only works for Kelly. Since Hannah is meeting her Fox Canyon student mentor, Kelly goes to Chuck's trailer with just Darbie as a lookout. Kelly lifts Chuck's book but it triggers a booby trap, locking her inside. With time running out, Darbie runs to The OCs for help cooking a counterspell outside the trailer. After freeing Kelly, Mama P. remains behind to steal her morbium back from Chuck.

The protectors and The OCs are brainstorming on how to stop Chuck's book from stealing their spells but Chuck spells them with a sleeping spell which would cause them to sleep for a year if they don't return his book. They break into two groups to figure out a spell to stay awake. Their cookbook opens to a blank page and starts drawing a girl. After noticing the girl has a rose in her hair, they realize that she must be the "Rose" that The Traveler mentioned. After the Rose page is stolen into Chuck's book, they find a wide awake spell in it but it doesn't work because he's the protector of that book. With no choice, the girls surrender the book to Chuck. They agree to cook the last spell in the book which involves burning their book with magical lollipops. Chuck's book steals the magical fire, causing it to burn, restoring all the spells back to the original cookbook.

When Piper finds the morbium in the trailer, Kelly spells her to forget magic. On realizing that it was Kelly who spelled her own party, Darbie and Hannah begin to suspect that Kelly might be the Night Bandit who has been spelling them but Kelly throws them off her scent. However, after the party, their fears are confirmed after finding that spell Kelly wants them to cook is a mislabeled copy of the "Keep the Cookbook Casserole" spell. Back on the island, Mama P. finds a note she wrote to remind herself to eat the quiche in order to remember magic. She decides to come back to warn Hannah and Darbie about Kelly.

After discovering that Kelly is the Night Bandit, Hannah and Darbie tell Ms. Silvers. They restore Becky's memories of magic and she suggests a spell to get inside Kelly's mind to see what's wrong with her. Mama P. returns to warn them about Kelly but they already know. During a sleepover at Kelly's, Darbie and Hannah keep stalling to avoid cooking. After Kelly falls asleep, they use the spell to get into Kelly's mind. They find that she has been acting that way because her mind got poisoned as a downside when she used cedronian to regrow the spice garden. They realize that the poison has been twisting Kelly's perspectives to make her think that Hannah and Darbie won't be her friends without the magic. The next morning, Hannah and Darbie cook a spell to show Kelly the truth. This restores Kelly back to herself. She apologizes but reveals that she had used a sleepwalking spell to get them to cook the spell. They're now tied to the book forever.

Kelly's grandmother disappears as a downside of the spell that Kelly, Hannah and Darbie cooked to make the cookbook their property. Gina and Ida warn that once the spell becomes permanent, they would lose Beck forever. Since the book is the girl's property now, it automatically creates the counter-spell they need using Jake's recipe. However, the spell calls for a Parquinnien, a spice family they've never heard of. They travel to the 1800s to ask Chuck but he tells them that Parquinnien doesn't exist. They realize that they can create Parquinnien by blending three magic plant roots. However, it would take fifteen years for it to grow. So, they travel to the future to get the spice plant from their future selves. After breaking the bond with the cookbook, it erases only parts of their names in the book, making them realize that Parquinnien is a combination of their last names (Parker-Kent, Quinn, Obrien). named after them. After that, Kelly, Hannah and Darbie agree that they're ready for the book to move on to new protectors.
