Review Quotes

"Did someone say Halloween party?...Despite their unappetizing appearances, the 15 dishes are entirely edible: the severed fingers are cheddar cheese straws dipped in ketchup, the intestines combine coils of chocolate dough with raspberry filling, and the maggots are marzipan...Picky eaters and unsuspecting dinner guests beware.
" - Publishers Weekly
