by Thea James, Isabel Minunni

Overview

The Unofficial Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Cookbook is a one-of-a-kind cookbook that captures the flavor and feel of the hit movie Beetlejuice, with 75 delightfully dark recipes, from Deetz dinner party shrimp cocktail to delicious Harry Belafonte-themed “banana boat” milkshakes.

Each recipe will be paired with an attractive full color photo and a humorous introductory note, plus fun bits Beetlejuice trivia, behind the scenes facts and more.
