Halloween is supposed to be fun. Spooky, yes, but also fun. Dressing up in weird costumes and eating all kinds of goodies. How about making some delectable treats and throwing a very haunting Halloween party? All you need is a little creativity, a sense of the bizarre and a good collection of stories to go along with each treat. How about some Bat Bits which are “simply enchanted biscuits” that “will do a little flapping on the serving platter”? Or, some of the Pumpkin Witch’s favorite Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes, a treat that tends “to put a spell on all who consume them, making them crave more”? The list of possibilities is endless where the imagination casts its own spells.

Russell J. Dorn has created the book just for this purpose. Not only does he present an imaginative and very spooky food, but he provides a name that is spooky, a spooky character to whom the credit applies, a story behind the spooky food (told from the spooky character’s point of view), and an historical background to this particular food creation. Then comes the recipe, complete with unusual, but certainly not un-tasty, ingredients, clear instructions and, best yet, photographs to outline the process from the ingredients to the finished product. The photographs and illustrations are the art of David Vincent Dorn (well done and very spookily presented).

This is a fun book leading to a fun project for the whole family (not just the kids. “Kitchen Witch: Halloween Recipes For Kids” is definitely a book for the Halloween fanatic and the kid hidden within us all. A real treat of a book and fun to read, too.

Halloween fun

Quick ,easy Halloween recipes for children, some of the recipes may involve cooking or boiling water so some adult assistance may be required. The recipes use ingredients, weights and temperatures aimed at the American reader, but with the use of the internet I'm sure these recipes can be adapted for use in the UK.
