You might be surprised at how many recipes are etched into gravestones. If someone was known for a wonderful dish they made, it may as well be documented for posterity. A few years ago, Rosie Grant went viral for her hobby of seeking out and making the food from recipes found on gravestones. She began when she was doing an internship in a cemetery, and developed the habit of taking the finished product to eat beside the recipe gravestone. Four years later, Grant has a cookbook coming out.
One of those recipes is labeled "A Good Carrot Cake," carved into the gravestone of Christine W. Hammill. But Christine is still with us; she and her husband just wanted to designed their gravestones themselves, and so had them made ahead of time. The family carrot cake recipe is in the book, but you can find it at the Instagram page ahead of time. Click to the right to read the story, and see the awesome epitaphs on the front of the stones.
