Thanks NetGalley and Harper Celebrate for this arc!

5/5 stars

This is such an interesting concept! I love how there was so much history on each haunted location, it really brought everything together. The photographs were really stunning, however some of them are SO VERY DARK and like I get it for the aesthetic of this book, but I hope they'll be lightened up at least a bit for print as the content is quite hard to see. Some of these recipes sound super good and some I don't think I'd make, but that's more of a me thing than the recipe itself. The extensive bibliography in the back really shows how much work Ami Bruni put into this! I love how it was categorized by location type, and at the back the recipes are organized by course, AND there's a suggested meal planning section too!? How fun! This will be great to have during spoopy season, and for any paranormal investigator lover!

Oh my goodness, I had no idea that I needed a cookbook like this in my life! I love all things haunted and paranormal so to follow these stories up with a dish from that time/location is amazing! I can't wait to try out some of these amazing recipes!

A collection of recipes based around supposedly haunted places like Lizzie Borden's house and the Stanley Estes Park Hotel (the inspiration for The Shining). The write ups of the locations are very interesting, and the food photographs are gorgeous. Some of the recipes probably won't get many takers (hardtack?!) but there are a few delicious-looking ones! A perfect gift for the spooky cook in your life.

The recipe for this book is 3/4ths haunted happenings and 1/4th cookbook.

While I am admittedly a tad skeptical of the paranormal, I found the framework of mainly focusing on the places

The titling of this book might mislead a lot of potential readers. Those just looking for the recipes will be sifting through haunting accounts and historical information to get to the food!

I do think it's a tad silly that some included recipes aren't even reccomended to eat.

My favorite section being the Hotels and the photographs of the buildings, menus, and other documents.
