Review Quotes

"Scare-cuterie is gorgeous, from the cover that looks like a horror movie poster to the heavy-duty, full-color hardback presentation. The attention to detail is amazing, and the photography alone makes it worth owning as a coffee table book. Every page is filled with creepy, horror-inspired charcuterie boards and spooky snacks that are as fun to look at as they are to make. This book is impressive, deliciously creative, and a perfect gift idea for the Halloween season." -- Matt Arts, Halloween Daily News (YouTube)
