Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy!

Fun, cute and mouth-watering cookbook perfect for fans of Halloween and all things spooky.
I've already tried some recipes, but I'm saving some for the festivities.
Beautiful photos of the recipes, with all the instructions for preparing the recipes.

I loved this cookbook! The recipes are fun and easy to follow, photos were awesome too. Can't wait to try more out.

This is a super cute and stylized spooky cookbook. It is broken into sections so you can find the theme you are looking for, such as Haunted House or Creepy Carnival. Each section has a picture of the completed recipe, and some have multiple to allow you to create the treat. The colors are used well in the text to differentiate between different parts of the recipes. The instructions are easy to follow and not too complex. The recipes themselves are super cute, and while not overly creepy, the edible blood can be used to creep up any anything.

Summerween has never been so sweet as it is with this book. Filled with yummy yet adorable recipies for all things ghosty, I loved every photo in this one. Written simply, this is a must have for even the beginning baker for Halloween.

The absolute perfect cookbook to get in the right Halloween spirit! I loved all the creative reimagining of traditional recipes with the spooky Halloween twist as well as the custom made ones. I also really appreciated the pumpkin-themed ones, for example (pumpkin pie hummus? I'm in) as well as the amount of cute options ideal for parties. The only thing I missed was an indication of how easy/difficult each recipe is: not being a great cook I tend to think that most things are too difficult for my skills but I bet some of these are really easy!

Great cookbook for the upcoming spooky season, but also beyond. These are great dessert recipes that can be used in every day living without the accoutrements that bring them to life during the Halloween season. There is everything from Pumpkin Pie Spice, for when you run out, to a variety of different types of Hot Chocolate Bombs. Chocolate Rats to Worm Filled Birthday Cake. Skill set for decorating goes from easy enough for a child, to advanced (must have patience). Each recipe and assembly is easy to follow, with step by step instructions. The cookbook is also broken down into categories such as ghosts, graveyards, vampires, etc.
I read a lot of cookbooks and this one is by far one of the most approachable cookbooks I’ve read in a long time. So whether you are going to be hosting an All Hallowed Eve party and are dying to serve a witches nose or want to take bat cookies to your child Halloween party, this cookbook is for you.
I received an eARC of #ComfortFood by Cayla Gallagher from #NetGalley in lieu of my honest review.

Ghost food is a really cute cookbook with very approachable recipes that are not overly complicated. This is a great book to pick up if you have limited time, but still want to wow your guests, or just yourself. One of my favourite things about this cookbook is that all the recipes have easy to find ingredients, with most of them being stuff the average baker will have on hand. Some of my favourite recipes included the Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate (because I'm a sucker for pumpkin spice anything) and the DIY candy eyes, which might be an usual choice, but since I NEVER have any on hand, I thought this was a great addition.
This is a great book to give as a gift, or even a book that would be good to bake with little ones.
Thank you to Cayla Gallagher, NetGalley and publisher for an advanced copy of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
4.5 stars.

25-word review: What's not to love about a Halloween cookbook that offers simple, fun recipes for black cat hot chocolate bombs, DIY candy eyes and mummy pie?

Ghost Food is a delightfully eerie and fun-filled Halloween cookbook packed with creepy-cute treats for all ages. Each section brings its own haunted theme, from the Pumpkin Patch to the Vampire’s Lair, making it feel like a spooky baking adventure. The recipes are imaginative, festive, and easy enough to whip up with kids or for a themed party. Perfect for Halloween lovers or anyone who wants to add a little magic and mischief to their kitchen. A must-have for fans of sweet treats and spooky vibes!

I am a huge sucker for anything Halloween and when I got my hands on these recipes, I squealed with excitement as my family looked at me like I was crazy. This cookbook has so many amazing recipes that are, for me, fantastic, easy, and oh so delicious. The visuals of the pictures are stunning with the cuteness overload of each recipe and with each recipe rated by difficultly levels makes this even better for everyone. If you are like me and love all here is about Halloween, then this collection of recipes will bring out your love for the holiday with a touch of nostalgia with some classic recipes.

Ghost Food is a delightful Halloween cookbook full of desserts perfect for any Halloween party! Gorgeous photos of the completed recipes entice the reader to jump into the kitchen and start baking. While I enjoyed seeing the many cakes, bars, and other treats displayed throughout the book, I found most of the recipes aimed at highly skilled bakers (particularly when it comes to decorating) rather than novices. On the other hand, that is precisely why author, Cayla Gallagher, is able to include so many sophisticated designs. If you love Halloween as much as I do, this book is worth picking up!

Adorably creepy recipes for enjoying Halloween spookiness any time of year! These recipes are perfect for any time that you're in a terrifying mood. Witches, ghosts, black cats, and more await in these cupcakes, cakes, macarons, and more.

I really loved all the creative options! There were plenty of different and unique themed desserts to try! I’m really looking forward to including many of them in my Halloween baking this year! Easy to follow instructions, and great pictures included

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. The opinions written are completely honest and my own.
Although the baking is beautiful it is much too complicated for my level.
Perfect for those who love to bake and like a challenge.

This was a fun themed cookbook! Perfect for anyone throwing a Halloween party or wanting to make fun treats around spooky season. I’m looking forward to making the mummy brownies! I also appreciated that these were low ingredients and beginner friendly. Having pictures with every recipe is always a plus too!

Having themed recipes for different occasions helps get me into the spirit of the holiday & excited to make a mess in the kitchen. With Ghost Food the table of contents breaks recipes down by themes: Haunted Mansion, Pumpkin Patch, Creepy Carnival, Witch’s Coven & Vampire’s Lair. I’m sure it makes sense to the author but to me I wish they had savory, sweets, apps and mains. Within witch’s coven there is hummus and cupcakes. I do love
I really appreciated that each recipe had a full color picture so I could see the finished project. I can see everyone being able to apply these recipes to either a themed dinner or some for regular use. I will be using some of them for our family’s Halloween party for sure!
Thank you Skyhorse Publishing for my gifted copy.

This was a fun little cookbook. It was nothing surprising. It was more about how you take everyday recipes and make them ghoulishly fun. Some of the recipes require special molds or equipment, but most are semi doable. I think the ones I would be most likely do would be the pumpkin snickerdoodles and pumpkin pie hot chocolate melts. Not only did they look good, but they sounded good. The contents of the book are fine. The pictures of all the food look amazing. Whether the reader will be able to copy these is another question, but the author does a good job of writing out the recipe and the instructions.

Very cute recipes that are attainable for the average home baker! I enjoyed the diversity of recipes that was shown in the cookbook.

Every recipe is so, so cute wihh easy to follow directions. I want to make everything and have a Summerween celebration.
