This is a super cute whimsical cookbook! Each recipe has a full page illustration, and yes, I mean illustration, not photograph. I think this is the first illustrated cookbook I've come across, and while the illustrations were adorable, a part of me really wanted photos for a couple of the recipes. The large majority of the recipes are definitely for Halloween/October/fall, with a few exceptions (e.g., Shark Bite sipper), and then the last two sections are Creepmas (creepy Christmas) and Goth Valentine's Day. Many recipes have a little "Did You Know?" section with fun facts that I really enjoyed! I have bookmarked several recipes that I am excited to return to this fall to make for my family! I'm especially looking forward to trying the Apple Cider-Glazed Chicken, it looks delicious! Highly recommend to any holiday fun food fans!

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Books for the eARC!

An adorable illustrated cookbook perfect for Halloween and for those for whom Halloween is a lifestyle.
Not only does it contain the classic treats like bone shaped breadsticks, olive spiders, and chocolate pretzel spider webs, but also treats inspired by horror authors like Stephen King.
I've added a number of these recipes to my kitchen rotation and can't wait to try others.
What I particularly loved about Creepy Kitchen is that it didn't just stop with Halloween. There are spooky eats for Christmas "Creepmas" and Valentines Day as well!
While the illustrations of each treat are adorable, I would have loved an actual photo of some of them included as well.
