Charles Addams’ “Chas Addams Half-Baked Cookbook” Charles Addams was working on this cookbook project at the time of his death. It features never-before-seen artwork and gruesome, never-before-tasted recipes. Some of Charles Addams’s most famous cartoons about food and cookery are also included. A couple of Charles Addams’s favorite topics were food and dining. His well-known cartoons frequently featured ravenous cannibals, witches gathered around a cauldron, or a king enjoying his blackbird pie.
Of course, Morticia from the “Addams Family” loved to cook and would frequently stop by the neighbors for a cup of cyanide or add a dash of an eye of newt to her meals. Thus, it should not be surprising that Charles Addams experimented with the concept of a “cookbook” in the 1960s.
