The book, she insists, isn\u2019t just another seasonal cash-in, but a legit lifestyle manifesto: goth entertaining 365 days a year. \u201cI\u2019m like the Martha Stewart of the macabre,\u201d she laughs, explaining how long she\u2019d fought publishers to get the concept in print. Listen above or wherever you get your podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n The conversation rolls through her own bizarre culinary origin story \u2014 cans of Campbell\u2019s soup and potato chips standing in for actual meals \u2014 before an Italian detour where a Neapolitan mama forced her to finally learn the art of cooking. \u201cShe made me do it. She wrote down those recipes, she watched me, she made me do it. I didn\u2019t even know how to boil water,\u201d Peterson says, grateful now that she can whip up dinner for eight and fold a three-tier goth wedding cake (even if she admits she\u2019d rather eat it than bake it).<\/p>\n The book is packed with those kinds of warped personal tales \u2014 meatloaf oozing ketchup \u201cblood\u201d for her daughter\u2019s October birthday, \u201cTrick or Trash\u201d snack mix that floored a house full of billionaires, and a recipes resurrected from the 1988 Mistress of the Dark movie. And because this is Elvira, she slipped in one more tease: she and Jack White have been talking about making an album. \u201cWe\u2019ve been thinking on it,\u201d she says, before describing how Pee-wee Herman was responsible for introducing her and White.<\/p>\n Listen to Cassandra Peterson talk about Elvira\u2019s Cookbook from Hell, goth weddings, Jack White, and more in the new episode above or by watching the video below.
