Savor this collection of more than 100 recipes, shared with the Ghost Whisperer by the spirits of several great cooks.
We cook because our connection to food is ever-present. We cook for sustenance and joy. For a culinary experience that's completely unique, the Beyond Delicious Cookbook tickles your tastebuds while making your paranormal senses tingle. It is half cookbook and half ghost story--two ingredients needed to create meals that are tasty and chillingly unforgettable.
Mary Ann Winkowski (aka "The Ghost Whisperer") has been communicating with earthbound spirits for most of her life, and she learned that our connection with food is not broken after death. In fact, she has received countless recipes from spirits of great cooks who have passed on. Co-written by David Powers, the Beyond Delicious Cookbook features more than 100 of these recipes, each paired with the ghostly tale of how Mary Ann learned about the dish. The book is divided into sections about soups, sides, main dishes, desserts, and more.
As Mary Ann notes, these recipes are the best home-cooked meals you can find because they came from the kitchens of families who prepared and perfected them over a lifetime. The meals are so beloved that the living asked Mary Ann to get them or so meaningful that a spirit asked her to record them for those left behind. The stories that go along with the recipes are often sweet, sometimes spooky, and always transfixing.
Book Features:
- More than 100 recipes passed to Mary Ann from beyond the grave
- Ghost stories that explain where each recipe came from
- Sections that feature main dishes, sides, desserts, and more
- Family favorites that have been handed down from previous generations
