Brewing up Magic with the Kitchen Witch!

The kitchen has always been a place of magic. A pot on the stove becomes a cauldron, herbs hang to dry, and raw ingredients are transformed into something nourishing. Kitchen Witch is part folklore collection, part celebration of domestic craft, and part love letter to the women throughout history who found power in the everyday.

Drawn from old stories and herbals, it reveals how deeply food, fable, and the figure of the witch are entwined. This book invites you into that world.

Voted Coziest Book of 2022 by the All Things Cozy Podcast, and cherished by readers who keep it close at hand on the kitchen shelf.
