Harry Potter - The Official Cookbook

Each page is laid out in the same way, with the recipe title along with all the essential information for it: the number of servings, the preparation time, the cooking time, the recipe description, the list of ingredients, the specific equipment you need to have, magical details from the films, its difficulty level and the detailed steps. Each dish relates to a character, an object or a place from the enchanting Harry Potter universe. Many templates are also included in the book to make cooking easier for you. However, even though the book looks appealing, one major drawback should be highlighted. The recipe book calls for a fairly high level of cooking skill.

While some recipes stand out for how quick and easy they are, the majority are at a difficult level requiring special equipment. Some are also made for large gatherings, such as the Hogwarts castle intended for twenty-eight people. In any case, real work on setting up the decorations is required. Unsuited to a young audience eager to cook dishes from the wizarding world, the book is nonetheless interesting for cooking fans - and especially pastry fans - who already own substantial equipment.
