Who knew that some leaving their legacy include recipes on their gravestones? Rosie Grant has noticed, and compiled a unique and excellent cookbook with recipes from gravestones as well as stories of those people. If you are interested, you’ll want to pick up To Die For: A Cookbook of Gravestone Recipes. Grant is a food lover and creator of @GhostlyArchive on tiktok and Instagram where she researches recipes on gravestones from digital archives.
While the recipes are mostly for sweets, there are a few savory recipes. There are photographs of each of the gravestones and the recipes engraved on them, as well as beautiful, professional photographs of each dish. Grant has taken the recipes and printed them in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, mostly followed by step-by-step instructions; some of the recipes have been shortened and leave out pan sizes and other things, probably to save room on the stone, but are easily understandable and easy to follow.
All told, Grant is a good writer and the prose is well-written and interesting. There is a nice story about each of the people and readers will find that they want to curl up in a corner and read the book cover to cover. This is a fun cookbook that is nice to have on a cookbook shelf.
