My daughter picked this to read and decided she wanted to share it with me. For a book that used the word spooky I expected a book full of spooky ideas. Instead the majority of these aren't spooky especially all of the Autumn themed recipes. Others could be used for Halloween parties but those ones could also be used for themed parties as well. There are some spooky ideas just not enough in a book that's supposed to be the title of this book.

Sharon spotted this at work and said Stephanie and I had to look at it.

Flipping through this book made my day!! 💜🖤🎃
I want to try everything, omg. (Well, maybe not the actual squid pasta with tentacles and suckers!)
This is SO MUCH FUN.

I really might buy this. I don't actually cook much and I don't really use cookbooks, but this is just so perfectly festive and spooky. I might be able to convince my boyfriend to help me make some of them, even though he doesn't eat a lot of desserts.

Fun Halloween recipes with clear decorating instructions.

Fun to look at, but nothing I'm actually inspired to make. I liked a couple of her other books better.

This is such a cute book. The pictures are clear and the recipes seem to be pretty easy and explained well.
