One thing that bugged me about this is that there's a stress on having both kid and adult versions of recipes like fruitcake. I don't understand why this is. The alcohol cooks out.... It isn't necessary to remove alcohol before serving it to minors. It's for flavor, not to get drunk. It's a cake. However, some of the recipes leave something to be desired. I agree with other reviewers. Really, a recipe for eggs and bacon? I think most people who are capable of cooking the rest of the recipes in this book know how to cook bacon and eggs. The sugar-mice are just fondant? Who wants to eat just plain-old fondant? Why not add some flavoring (I don't count vanilla extract) and then roll the mice in sugar to make...SUGAR mice? Discover all the most popular LEGO Harry Potter minifigures as well as rare and unique minifigures you may never have seen before in the LEGO Harry Potter Character Encyclopedia - the ultimate handbook for fans of LEGO Harry Potter. Me parecía interesante comentar el título de cada capítulo porque entiendo que más o menos os haréis una idea del contenido (aunque bueno, igual hay que echarle imaginación). Lo que sí os puedo aclarar es que podemos cocinar de todo: sopas, caldos y gachas, carnes, pescados, huevos, verduras y guarniciones, postres, helados, caramelos y golosinas, bebidas y panes, bollos y pastas. Una vez que tenemos los títulos y los tipos de comida (que vienen siendo todos), ahora toca adentrarse en el contenido de cada uno de los capítulos.

Las recetas están muy bien explicadas. En la parte izquierda de la página tenemos los ingredientes y en la parte derecha una anécdota real sobre el plato en cuestión. En la siguiente página (o siguientes páginas) nos encontramos con las instrucciones, claramente explicadas, para realizar nuestra deliciosa comida o bebida. Enter the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in this Unofficial Cooking Wizardry Magical Recipes Book! Dinah went on to bake many more chocolate cakes and it wasnt long before she was making fine desserts and cooking delicious food had become a passion second only to eating it. The recipes, some of which are old English traditions, are also tied in with the Potter series. The book includes where the students or other characters enjoyed the particular dish. I don't even know where to begin with this book! It is amazing. You think you're just getting another book with recipes, but no, it is so much more than that. Even the paper it is printed on is amazing.

It's time to pass the magic on with this brand-new edition of the classic and internationally bestselling phenomenon that is Harry Potter! Recetas tan míticas como la tarta de melaza, la sopa de cebolla de Kreacher, la primera tarta de cumpleaños de Harry, empanadillas y zumo de calabaza yyyyy cerveza de mantequilla 😍😍🍺

So much of Hogwarts's magic revolves around food - from the Great Hall tables to home-cooked recipes a la Mrs. Weasley's wandwork.Lo interesante es que en la zona superior, y al principio de cada receta, existe un pequeño texto que relaciona un momento o situación acaecido en la saga de Harry Potter con el contenido de la receta.

All in all, I'd recommend this for really, really new cooks and maybe kids. But as an adult, I don't really need recipes for a lot of these things. I'll hang on to it purely for the Harry Potter theme, but probably won't use it much. I received this book as a gift from my son, who knows how much of a Potterhead I am. For that alone I would treasure it, but it goes beyond that. It is, essentially, a work of art in and of itself. Get ready for a whole lot of laughter with this unofficial Harry Potter Joke Book – sure to provide endless fun! Dinahs first experience with baking occurred when she received for her ninth birthday a toy mixer from her mom that actually worked. She mixed up a chocolate cake batter without following a recipe and then poured the brown glop into plastic bowls and set them in the oven. Thankfully, she forgot to turn the oven on.

Dinah Bucholz is the official author of The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. Dinah was born to a large family and grew up in a small New York City suburb called Monsey. The most exciting things that happened in her childhood were getting her pony tail pulled by various brothers, also getting teased by the same, and enjoying spectacular good times and spectacular fights with her twin sisters. Some of the recipes are great. I totally enjoyed the Yorkshire pudding with our roast (we did pork since I don't eat beef; otherwise the recipe was exactly the same). My husband loved the treacle tart, but it wasn't my thing...but it was a good recipe. I also made the English Strawberry Trifle, which was very complicated but worth every moment of sweating in the kitchen. You can't get that type of food from a box. The Shepherd's Pie was also quite tasty (and relatively simple). Al principio de cada capítulo se introduce un poco la temática de las recetas que se van a ver en dicho capítulo, por supuesto, siempre a través de referencias a los libros de Harry Potter. Real cooking takes some effort, people. Real cooking isn't about throwing three ingredients into the microwave and hoping it doesn't taste like rubber when it comes out. These recipes are the REAL DEAL. Real cooking, real home cooking. So it will take some effort. This book seems to be targeted at children (there are several references to 'your friends' and 'your parents') but apart from the Bacon and Eggs most recepies look bloody complicated. There are a lot of pasties (I have made pasties several times and still don't get the dough right...) and instructions like 'Let cook for and hour but be careful, don't let it get to hot as it might explode'. Probably not the ideal choice for 13 year old HP-fans. Now I'm not saying it shouldn't have these recipes but some kind of rating system from 'Children can make this on their own with some supervision from adults' to 'children can watch adults from a safe distance while they try not to blow the kitchen up while cooking' would have been a good idea.

The organization. For example, chapter one is titled "Good Food with Bad Relatives." All of the recipes are in some way related to Harry's experiences with the Dursleys. That puts a recipe for bacon and eggs next to a recipe for double chocolate ice cream cones--which feels odd. There is an index, so I guess that's something.

A LOT of space is used for the quotes mentioning the food and then telling more about that scene in great detail. You know, I've read the Harry Potter books. More than once. I've watched the movies. I'm quite familiar with the stories...as I assume are most people reading this book. We don't need to be told that Harry is best friends with Ron. These parts could have been shorter. This dazzling gift book brings together beloved characters, unforgettable moments and iconic locations from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone all the way through to The Deathly Hallows. It's the ultimate magical miscellany, filled with facts and fun about the wizarding world, beautifully catalogued and brilliantly explored.
