Ever craved a meal with a ghostly backstory? Food to Die For delivers just that—recipes straight from America's legendary haunted haunts, paired with the chilling tales that make them unforgettable.
Picture this: you're in your kitchen, Southern Fried Chicken sizzling in the pan from the Missouri State Penitentiary's grim cells, or tossing a Sheboygan Asylum Caesar Salad while reading about its shadowy history. Paranormal investigator Amy Bruni, co-host of Kindred Spirits, guides you through nearly 60 notorious spots—from Lizzie Borden's infamous home to the Villisca Axe Murder House and Waverly Hills Sanatorium. Each chapter mixes charmingly creepy stories rooted in real history, vintage photographs, and a standout recipe inspired by the place or its spirits.
These aren't your average cookbook dishes. Try the Cornbread from the Villisca Axe Murder House, an Absinthe Frappé from New Orleans' Old Absinthe House, or Ernest Hemingway's Bloody Mary from his Key West home. Full-color photos show off the hauntingly styled food, making your cooking sessions feel like a séance with flavor. Whether it's Vegetable Soup echoing the isolation of a sanatorium or spooky prison sugar cookies from Alcatraz, every bite carries a whisper from the past.
This haunted cookbook scratches that itch for paranormal vibes without leaving your stove.
