I LOVE Halloween.  The costumes, the trick-or-treaters and the candy have always made it one of my favorite days of the year. Not only that but, for me, Halloween has always been the start of the holiday season and means that Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner! Yay!When I saw this recipe book for Halloween recipes I was, to be honest, very amused at first. I mean, I've seen Halloween books about costumes and decorating but never one that was specifically for recipes and food. I'm glad to say that my amusement quickly turned to amazement! Author Carol Vale has put together quite a collection of fun, delicious and easy to make recipes that are sure to be a hit and anyone's dinner table, especially if you have children.My kids absolutely loved the very first recipe, Witches Fingers,  and in the last few days we have made about a dozen of  Ms. Vale's recipes. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and so the Frankenstein's Brownies have been my favorite so far. I was also surprised to see that she, as I, is a fan of marzipan and,  while I was making her Marzipan Pumpkins I will admit to some feelings of melancholy while I thought about my dear departed Mom who was from Belgium, a land where marzipan is very well known and loved. If you're going to have a Halloween party this year, whether for children or adults, this book will help you to put out a spread that would make even the devil himself jealous!If you adore Halloween like I do and you're looking for a way to celebrate the holiday with style, as well as serve your family some freakishly fun food, I highly recommend Supernatural Recipes For Halloween. Not only are the recipes a lot of fun to create they are also delicious and, if you let your kids help you make them, you can turn your time in the kitchen into some family fun. Very highly recommended.
