The concept is simple yet brilliant: each chapter takes you to a notoriously haunted location, complete with spine-tingling stories and a recipe that ties back to that place.

The images are not only gorgeous but hauntingly styled, making them ideal for both inspiring your kitchen endeavors and serving as captivating conversation starters. The book feels like part historical, part ghost stories, and part cookbook! Each recipe is an invitation to experience the history and hauntings that accompany it.

In summary, Food to Die For is perfect for anyone who loves a spooky thrill alongside their culinary adventures. With nearly 60 unique locations, fascinating stories rooted in history, and mouthwatering recipes that are beautifully illustrated, this cookbook is a delightful haunt.
