Each recipe evokes someone in Hawkins (or the Upside Down) and is accompanied by original food photography, stills from the show, and your favorite quotes. Make the scary good Demigorgonzola Cheese Balls. Bake Eddie Munson's favorite Hellfire Club Devil's Food Cake. Learn the secret to Hopper's perfect tuna melt (with mustard, dammit, and potato chips).
