Books for Strega Nona Fall

By Kat La Mantia | October 8 2024 | AdultsChildren'sGeneralAllBlog

Goodbye brat summer (or tomato girl summer, pink pony girl summer, rat girl summer, the list goes on)! Fall is here and the girlies are feeling cozy, nostalgic, and a little magical, which can mean only one thing: it’s Strega Nona fall.

The classic children’s book “grandma witch” character with her never-ending pot of pasta and homey little cottage is the latest TikTok sensation, inspiring a fall full of comfort food and whimsical domesticity. Kitchens decorated with copper pots and herbs hung up to dry, classic homestyle Italian recipes for dinner, and a little homebrewed magic to attract good vibes and cure seasonal sniffles are the perfect ways to bring some Strega Nona energy into the season.

Embrace your inner witchy neighborhood grandmother with our title list full of cozy crafting books, Italian staple cookbooks, kitchen witch grimoires, and more!
