The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory--More Than 150 Magical Recipes for Wizards and Non-Wizards Alike (Unofficial Cookbook)

Product Information

In the interests of understanding the people that we share the world with, this book has been written by one of the leading elf scholars of the age, and they have been given free rein to offer their observations and opinions on the wizarding world. Such a fun book! I always forget I have this and haven't used it nearly enough! Must remedy that soon. We've only tried one recipe out of it (made it twice) and it was really good! Chapter Two: Delights Down the Alley contains varied dishes like ice cream, burgers and chocolate pudding. Again all of these seem very American to me and yes I've been to England and lived there with a host family for a few months. The most amusing but necessary recipe is how to make a proper cuppa. They forgot to strain the leaves and pour the tea into cups LOL!

Chapter Six: Breakfast Before Class includes some of Harry's favorite breakfasts like fried sausage patties, porridge with cream and treacle, the classic English fry up, traditional English marmalade, lots of fried foods and the odd one out-cinnamon pull-apart breakfast rolls. That last one sounds good and is topped with cream cheese icing. This section is very classically British and what I would expect to be served at Hogwarts. Chapter Nine: Holiday Fare has everything from English muffins to homemade marshmallows and Christmas pudding for kids and eggnog for kids (alcohol free). I'm not sure why stewed tripe and onions sounded like a good idea to include. Goulash doesn't sound appealing from the name but looking at the ingredients I can see some kids might try it but probably wouldn't like it. This book is an unauthorized cookbook printed as if it were an old book with parchment papers and purpleish ink. Each chapter has a theme and contains paraphrased quotes from the American editions of the books. I prefer the British editions but this cookbook is solely for an American audience. There could be magic everywhere. Sometimes we can explain it away with science but sometimes there are things in the gaps that defy simple explanation.I did not like seeing ingredients such as Jell-O listed when the recipe includes directions for homemade custard. Grease an 8x8 inch square pan and set aside. Combine the sugars, butter, heavy cream treacle and cream of tartar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the ingredients are combined. Was down the sides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in hot water if sugar crystals form on the sides, to prevent recrystallization. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pot and continue to cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 240 degrees on the candy thermometer.

Quiero aclarar que, si bien el recetario está ambientado en este mundo, no todas las recetas son de platos «mágicos». De hecho, la mayoría de ellas pueden pasar por comida muggle, al fin y al cabo toda comida parte de la misma base. Por último, quiero añadir que al final del libro tenemos el índice de las recetas y varias páginas de anotaciones para apuntar cualquier cosita. 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.This extraordinary collection is a fantastic gift for all Harry Potter fans, young and old - sure to take pride of place on any bookshelf!

But then I began going through the cookbook, and I would definitely hesitate before giving it to anyone younger than 13 or 14. Frying, hot ovens, lots of dicing — none of these are activities I would allow a preteen to even think about doing! My daughter ended up in the Emergency Room one night from a knife cut on her palm — and she was 14! I don’t know who was sobbing more: her or me. Get ready for a whole lot of laughter with this unofficial Harry Potter Joke Book – sure to provide endless fun! Get to know more than 200 minifigures from the LEGO Harry Potter world - including an exclusive new minifigure to add to your collection! 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.Bake your way through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Inspired by the films, this is the ONE and ONLY official Harry Potter cookbook! 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. Dinah Bucholz, a huge Harry Potter fan and food lover, has always been interested in what the characters are eating. Hola brujas y magos! ¿Cómo estáis? ¿La vida mundana se os hace cuesta arriba? A mí también, para qué te voy a engañar 😂😂 Pero si hay algo que tenemos en común muggles y hechiceros es que a los dos nos gusta comer 🤣🤣 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.
