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. 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). This is the must-have cookery book for any Harry Potter fans who are looking for a lesson in the art of cooking wizardry.

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. Dinah Bucholz, a huge Harry Potter fan and food lover, has always been interested in what the characters are eating. To be fair ... I did actually read/skim over this cookbook WANTING to love it. And I still love the idea of it. But I didn't actually try cooking any of the recipes. 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. 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?The way the recepies are sorted is less-than-ideal. There's a chapter for the food Harry had with the Dursley's, another for the Weasley's, the Hogwarts. So for every chapter you get proper dinner, cakes, sweets, desserts etc. Now if they would at least fit together, so that all the dinners mentioned in the Weasley-chapters would go particularily well with the desserts but you can just about combine everything with everything else. Sorting them differently would have made more sense. 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. Okay, so being one of the few people who actually has cooked out of this recipe book, I wanted to say a few things about it. When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Looking for Pottermore? Wizarding World is the new official home of Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts. Join the Fan Club and bring your traits with you.

A recipe for Bacon and Eggs? Really? Actually it's two recepies for Bacon and Eggs and then another for bacon. Has anybody ever needed instructions on how to make bacon?Why have we not thought to make a giant cauldron sandwich before?! Perhaps if Snape had one of these before his Potions class, he would be in a far better mood. 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. Bake your way through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Inspired by the films, this is the ONE and ONLY official Harry Potter cookbook!

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. La autora ha hecho un gran trabajo con este recetario. Se nota que se ha documentado muy bien, y queda demostrado que tiene muchos conocimientos sobre este mundo. 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 🤣🤣

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. While the blurbs paraphrasing episodes from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series have generally been entertaining enough (although also often much too repetitive in scope and feel, and to such an extent that I actually ended up skimming quite a large chunk of the second part of The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook as far too many of the presented examples of Harry and his friends enjoying different types of foods actually just ended up feeling as though one was reading the same types of scenarios over and over again), I cannot really say that I have at ALL appreciated the manner in which author Dinah Bucholz has approached her 150 odd recipes. For since all of the recipes featured in The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook are of course and naturally United Kingdom based and that a goodly number of them also do appear as being potentially rather difficult and complicated to make, with intricate instructions as well as sometimes necessitating ingredients with which many American and/or Canadian cooks might be not that familiar, I for one would have assumed that Dinah Bucholz to also the include at least a SOME pictures, some accompanying photos of what the end products would and should look like (and that there are NO accompanying visuals whatsoever featured and presented in The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook, this really does make me quite massively and personally livid). Despite the copious amount of issues I had with this, there are still some dishes that I would really like to try. Some of them include Christmas Pudding Ice Cream, No Bake Chocolate-Bottom Pumpkin Tart, and Almond-Ginger-Peach Treacle Tart. 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. No photos. No photos at all. I know that makes cookbooks cost more (and not all cookbooks have them) but for not particularly gifted cooks like myself, well. We kind of need the photos.
