Publisher's Note These days, Halloween is the most popular holiday next to Christmas. At its heart are family and friends having fun together -- which is what this book is all about. In this cornucopia of creative Halloween ideas, simple crafts, tasty treats, and ghoulish good times abound. From delicious "one cauldron" dinners such as creamy pumpkin soup to luscious devil's food cake and black cat cookies, here are recipes ideal for entertaining adults and children alike, both in the kitchen and at the table. And then there are the crafts. Kid-friendly projects such as trick-or-treat bags, spooky lanterns, and tissue ghosts, and easy ideas for beautiful centerpieces, place mats, and name cards keep everyone from the tots on up busy and happy. Filled with clever projects and delicious snacks, and illustrated throughout with colorful photographs, Halloween Treats will keep the whole family (and friends of all ages) entertained. Happy Halloween!

Industry reviews "[S]tumped for Halloween ideas? Being clever comes easily with the help of HALLOWEEN TREATS: RECIPES AND CRAFTS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY....Some of the ideas...are winningly simple. Others...are not so easy, and require a shopping trip to an arts and crafts supplier....Except that the black risotto made with tapenade is barely gray, most of the recipes are very good, notably the pork loin with quince and apples, macaroni and cheese and pumpkin creme brulee." New York Times - Florence Fabricant (10/28/1998)
