This year Halloween will be different from the ones we are used to. There will be no parties decorated with cobwebs and ghosts, nor people masked in the street, nor children knocking on doors asking for "trick or treat". Either way, you can let your imagination talk more and still have fun in the kitchen on the scariest night of the year.
