Halloween is a holiday that is purely about fun and, for us at Slashfood, that means that we want to play with our food a little bit. This school lunch, dubbed the lunchbox of the damned from Vegan Lunchbox is the most creative way we've seen to have some seasonal fun with food. The two shrunken heads are absolutely brilliant, made by carving a face into a peeled apple before baking it, which leaves it with a wrinkly skin, soft texture and concentrated apple flavor. Each apple, er, head, has two little cloves for eyes. The highlight of the meal is the mummified calzone with a bucket of blood dipping sauce. Jennifer photographed the way she folded the dough for the veggie calzone before baking it, and it is easy to recreate based on her diagram. Her blood is pizza sauce.
Even if you don't pack a lunch, although this is sure to be a hit on the playground, you can use these ideas to prepare a great Halloween dinner for yourself and your family, if you're not going to go all out with an elaborate Halloween party instead.
