Publisher's Synopsis
Taking place between fall and winter, Halloween on October 31 is a time of superstition and celebration.
It is thought that dressing up as ghosts and monsters originated from an ancient Celtic tradition of local townspeople disguising themselves as evil spirits and demons. They did this in an effort to go unnoticed by the real spirits wandering the town during Samhain. Samhain which is the holiday that inspired Halloween in the United States is, in fact, a Gaelic festival. It marks the end of the harvest period and the onset of winter. Today, Halloween is not such a dark affair. It's a family time. A time for dressing up, holding costume parties, and trick or treating. And it isn't just for the little spirits in your family! It is the perfect opportunity to create some of the most spooktacular Halloween recipes. We will show you how to make 40 creepily creative, sometimes gruesome drinks, snacks and party food to delight your guests!
