Harry Potter Cookbook

Today I had decided that I wanted to go through some of the cookbooks in my house and I came across a very unique one. It is the Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook

This cookbook is filled with many different recipes from Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory, many of which I have yet to try. Some of the recipes I have tried include English Fried Eggs and a Gammon of Bacon, Big Fluffy Pancakes, Cheesy Chivy Scrambled Eggs and Hot Chocolate. My favourite is the big fluffy pancakes. This cookbook also has some interesting features in it. Each of the different recipes have their own explanations and origins written beside the recipe itself. There are also introductions before each recipe that relate to the Harry Potter books and where you can find when the characters tried these foods in the books. I love this cookbook for many reasons. I love how it is layed out and everything is easy to find along with how it provides you with information on what exactly the food is because I honestly haven't heard of a lot of the names of these recipes. Most of all I love this cookbook because it is a Harry Potter cookbook and I am definitely a big fan of the books :) Every time I read the books I wondered what each of these foods mentioned really tasted or looked like and now I can experience them myself! 

The only drawback I can think of about this cookbook is that it's pages are like an actual book's pages. I worry that if I spill anything on it I could easily wreck the pages. I also don't like how the book is hardcover so it is difficult to keep the book open to a certain page without it closing on itself. Otherwise this cookbook is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who is a Harry Potter fan or even if you want to try a taste of some unique British dishes.
