About the author
Amy Bruni is a paranormal investigator and television personality, known as co-host of the Travel Channel series "Kindred Spirits" and for her earlier work on "Ghost Hunters." She has extended that career into print with a pair of cookbooks that pair recipes with true-crime and ghost-story narratives tied to reputedly haunted locations: "Food to Die For," covering notoriously haunted sites across America, and its follow-up "Cuisine to Kill For," which pairs original recipes with true crime stories connected to some of history's most haunted places. Both books, published by Harper Celebrate, combine over 50 recipes each with historical photographs and accounts of the hauntings associated with each setting. The format reflects Bruni's on-screen persona, using food as a way into stories about specific locations, their history, and the paranormal claims attached to them, aimed at readers who enjoy true crime and ghost lore alongside practical recipes.
