“If your kids love Harry Potter, nothing is going to inspire them to get in the kitchen like this cookbook. Some of the best parts of the Harry Potter books are the rich descriptions of the holiday feasts at the Great Hall. With this book, your kids can make Harry’s favorite dessert (treacle tart, of course). They can make the mince pies that Mrs. Weasley sends Harry every Christmas, and the pumpkin pasties from the Halloween feast scene I loved reading as a kid. They can even make Mrs. Dursley’s pudding—the one Dobby destroys in the beginning of The Chamber of Secrets. As long as you don’t mind your kids going down the weird meat-pie, haggis, and Scotch collop–filled path that is the world of British food, this book is sure to be a hit.”

“Cooking dishes from popular fantasy books—from Harry Potter to A Game of Thrones to the Twilight vampire tales—has become a pastime for fans seeking to immerse themselves in their favorite fictional worlds. Literary foodies are trading tips on how to cook eel pie and nettle soup, sharing ideas on blogs, YouTube and Twitter, and occasionally scoring cookbook deals. The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook, which came out last year, has sold more than 150,000 copies.”

“A truly brilliant idea that combines a beloved children’s literary classic with an old-fashioned recipe book. Designed to look and feel more like a literary companion with excerpts from the books providing context for each recipe … your little wizard will be able to serve up a pint of freshly made pumpkin juice, then imagine he’s sitting down to a feast in the Hogwarts dining hall.”
