I absolutely am in love with this book! Great photos and even better history, spooky stories and funny personal experiences from Amy Bruni, who I love! I will say, I don’t think I’ll ever make a good portion of these recipes…they just aren’t up my alley but I still love this book!
I am really loving this book cookbook when all of a sudden a story ends mid sentence on page 88 and there is no page 90 and 91 This is so upsetting as the book itself is amazing
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!!!
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!!
I’m a fan of Kindred Spirits and was intrigued by the idea of combining haunted places and food. This book is absolutely spooky stunning, the photography is beautiful, stories and approach are very clever. And recipes look good too! I loved that I had been to several of the places in the book.This would make a fantastic gift for paranormal lovers.
I purchased this book for the haunted location stories. The recipes are an added bonus. I haven't cooked anything from this book yet, but I find the photos beautiful, the stories interesting, and the overall layout is fantastic. Highly recommend if you love all things paranormal.
