More Than Just a Cookbook
Everything You're Wondering About
It looks like a novelty at first glance — but every one of the 40 recipes was actually cooked and tested by author Rosie Grant before it went in the book. This one gets used, not just displayed.
It sounds darker than it reads. The book is really about memory and family — people who loved a dish so much their families carved it into their headstone. It's handled with warmth, not shock value.
40 recipes across 176 full-color pages, each one paired with the family's story and photos of the food, the gravestone, and any keepsakes they shared.
No — the recipes range from simple (spritz cookies, no-bake desserts) to a bit more involved (French silk pie, chicken spaghetti casserole). There's something approachable no matter your skill level.
It's one of those gifts people don't expect and end up loving. Great for anyone into cemeteries, true crime, family history, food writing, or just genuinely unique cookbooks.
A 176-page hardcover, printed in full color throughout — built to be displayed on a shelf, not just skimmed once and forgotten.
Rosie holds a Master's in Library Science focused in digital archives, and started this project during a cemetery internship. She's spent years traveling to gravesites and interviewing families in person — this is archive-grade research, not a gimmick.
