Creepy Kitchen is a nice collection of spooky dishes with recipes by Kim Kindelsperger. Due out 6th Aug 2024 from Quarto on their Rock Point imprint, it's 160 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is an adorable illustrated collection with "creepy" whimsically themed recipes. They're grouped in chapters: starters, sides, mains, sweets & desserts, several holiday themed chapters (Christmas, Valentines, notably no Hallowe'en specific ones), and tutorials and how-to.
Recipes include an intro (with media tie-in information), bullet list of tools and supplies as well as ingredients, and step by step directions. Ingredients are given in imperial (American) measurements, with metric measures in parentheses (yay!). Ingredients will be easily obtainable from any moderately well stocked grocery store in North America.
The book has no photography. It's charmingly illustrated in color throughout by Kitty Willow Wilson.
Four stars. These are appealing and tasty recipes, with a cute schtick. It's a niche book, but fun and well done. The recipes are basic; none are overly complex. It would be nicefor a movie-night tie in gathering with friends, or a casual party. This might also be a nice choice for folks who spend time with youngsters (child minders, grandparents, older siblings, etc) to have some fun in the kitchen, and then eat the results.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
