About this event

The cookbook we will be reviewing this month is To Die For: A Cookbook of Gravestone Recipes by Rosie Grant. Blurb from Amazon: "An inspiring collection of recipes preserved on gravestones, with fascinating interviews from the families, celebrating the beloved food legacies of their dearly departed. For so many, food is a touching, nostalgic thing that brings us together. So much so that some families choose to remember their loved ones through the dishes they made and the food that brought comfort to those around them by immortalizing their recipes on their gravestones. Rosie Grant, the creator behind @GhostlyArchive, has been searching out and documenting this interesting phenomenon. In To Die For, Rosie collects 40 recipes she’s found across the globe, carved into headstones or associated with a grave that has a story to share. Each recipe is accompanied by an interview with the remaining family, plus photography of the food, the gravestone, and any memorabilia the family wanted to share." A copy will be held on reserve at the circulation desk if you would like to preview before our event. Please bring a copy of a family recipe that you are willing to share with our group. Register online or call 803-547-4114, starting October 19th.
