Bring Out Your Dead...Recipes

A woman from California has an unusual practice. She scours cemeteries to find and cook recipes left by the deceased — and etched on their tombstones.

Over the last five years, Rosie Grant, a librarian from Los Angeles, has collected 40 recipes this way. She says the food is "to die for."

The idea of cooking and sharing a last meal of sorts with those who have passed away came from an unlikely place: an internship she had at a cemetery in New York.

During her work there, she noticed a recipe for spritz cookies carved into a woman's headstone.

She went home and baked 12 of the treats — before returning to the grave and eating them. That started her mission of finding other gravestones with recipes.
