The Serial Killer Cookbook: True Crime Trivia and Disturbingly Delicious Last Meals from Death Row's Most Infamous Killers and Murderers by Ashley Lecker

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The main title is a bit of a misnomer - but the subtitle fixes that. Not all the people profiled in this unique cookbook were serial killers. Many were mass murderers or just committed a murder so heinous that they have become famous/infamous because of it.

This cookbook gives a bit of a history on a famous murderer then lists their last meal. The author then takes at least one part of the final meal and presents a way to make it in your own home.

Some I cannot wait to try. Others seemed a bit of a "eh" or "you seriously could have picked something else from the menu to present". There were also a great many "no churn ice cream" recipes and frankly one was enough.

But all in all a interesting very topic specific book that will be a great addition to my cookbook collection
