  1. SummerMeadow8

    I love this combo of recipes, history and hauntings. The photography is gorgeous – that cover is amazing!! It’s a lot of the author’s favorite places from her tv shows and podcast with a few new locations. I loved how it was all connected with the recipes! So fun.

  2. Julie

    Amy’s stories, the beautiful photos, and easy-to-follow recipes have made this a staple in my kitchen. If you’re a fan of historic recipes and ghost stories, you’ll love this book.

  3. Brett Moen

    Love this book! Amy Bruni put together a great book with spooky historical stories, creating a fun culinary experience. Well written and has great photographs. Can’t wait to cook my way through this book!

  4. A. Brown

    I bought this for my sister for her birthday and she loves it! So many great recipes in the book to go along with beautiful pictures and a detailed yet succinct history of each location! Amy Bruni has outdone herself bringing together our two favorite things….food and ghost hunting!!

  5. Shelley Gaulin

    I really enjoyed reading this book and looking back at all places that Amy has visited. I will have to try some of these recipes as they sound delicious.

  6. Zaena Burdick

    This cookbook not only has a wonderful premise, the recipes themselves look pretty tasty! Cook up bread pudding from The Myrtles- one of the most haunted plantations in the South. Try Lizzie Bordon’s meatloaf. Amy Bruni has gathered a nice collection of recipes from famous places she has investigated during her time with TAPS/ Ghost Hunters, as well as with friend and co-TAPS partner, Adam Barry in their production, Kindred Spirits.
    The book is beautiful, with colorful pictures of the recipes, nice layouts and a bit about the paranormal locations’ legends or stories to go with them. A definate gem in my cookbook collection!!

  7. SeriousReader

    Ok cooks, bakers, readers; heck even if you don’t like to cook, buy this book anyway!! It’s beautiful, very well written, with enjoyable stories and Amy’s fantastic sense of humor.. ya’ll, she’s halarious! This is by far my favorite new cookbook/book, and I’ve been collecting all kinds of books for decades. I love it so much, I bought one for a loved one. You can too! You won’t be disappointed 🙂

    The idea of Food to Die for is a fun one. Bruni shares experiences and personal anecdotes about her paranormal career before ushering in succinct rundowns of renowned haunted places. Corresponding with these places are recipes that are tied to or inspired by these places. The photography is dark and moody with rustic cutlery, tasteful taxidermy, and aesthetic cookware. If the reader is new or budding into the paranormal/haunted/spooky world, this is a great text to gift. Each location is a single page of information and each recipe is a single page of instructions and ingredients. The formatting is simple and to the point. However, those who are more involved or informed may find this to be too surface level. At the very least, it’s a wonderful reference point to add to your library. Those who are more interested in the cooking aspect may be disappointed with the seemingly lack of attention given to it. The author even adds that readers should feel free to dress the recipes up or adapt them at will. Rather than providing well-thought out recipes with detailed instructions, readers get blueprints. Cooks who rely on visual aids should note that not every recipe has a photograph of the end product; some merely have the ingredients arranged in a tasteful fashion. Those excited by the notion of historical recipes should also be told that the majority of these recipes are loosely connected to their locations, or are merely inspired by them. There are also a handful of cocktails to shake things up. Overall, Food to Die for isn’t a cookbook, but a haunted location guide with some recipes added in for a bit of levity. The end of the text includes a suggested serving menu with different themes (Civil War Era, Golden Age, etc.) which was a thoughtful touch. This is best suited for paranormal enthusiasts, and not the aspiring or professional chef in your life.

    This is an amazing read! I’m a huge fan of Amy since her Ghost Hunters days and ran to purchase this when I saw her insta. The pictures are amazing and the stories of each location are so well written that you are taken on a journey from the start. I love that I hear Amy’s voice narrating in my head as I read. The recipes are interesting and fun. Even though I only know Amy through watching her on the shows throughout the years, I can’t help but be so proud of her for creating this gorgeous book!!!
