Overview

Hollywood Edible FX is a behind-the-scenes exploration of edible food effects in film and television, where culinary craft meets cinematic illusion. Written by food stylist and FX artist Elizabeth Grove, this visually driven book pulls back the curtain on how food is transformed into blood, glass, body parts, mythical creatures, and unsettling props for sci-fi, fantasy, and horror productions. Drawing from over two decades of experience on major film and television sets, Grove shares the techniques, materials, and problem-solving required to create edible FX that look disturbingly real while remaining safe for actors and production. From breakable glass and crawling insects to raw organ textures and fantastical creatures, each chapter blends storytelling, process, and striking visuals. Hollywood Edible FX is not a traditional cookbook. It is a cinematic art book, technical guide, and personal journey through the unseen world of food styling for the screen. Designed as a collectible hardcover, it offers an immersive look at practical effects where food becomes illusion, performance, and storytelling. This book is intended for film and television professionals, food stylists, special effects artists, photographers, and fans of horror, sci-fi, and behind-the-scenes creative work.
