Buyer Beware-- There are TWO editions out there. Not all recipes in one of the books.

It cannot be a Harry Potter cookbook without a butterbeer recipe. One edition of this book does not have it. The other one does. I accidentally ordered 2 books, and I got 2 different books. I highly recommend you do not buy this online and instead find it in your book store so that you can make sure. Also, the new edition has illustrations and other bonus items that make it more fun.

I LOVE IT
by Tigerlily (5 out of 5 stars)

I LOVE IT, I'm no master chef but this cookbook might change that. I might even become a master wizard chef!

Anyways the recipes are phenomenal, especially the pies! It's pretty basic sometimes, it's more European type quisiene so if you don't like haggis, liver, lamb, or other English/Scottish dishes etc then these recipes aren't for you.

The book references are cute and I vaguely remember some of them, my younger siblings go crazy when I make anything from this book because they love Harry Potter.

Most recently I made meat and potatoe pies from pg 44, the recipe makes 6 pies and I assumed from the size they wouldn't be very filling so I made 12. Boy was I wrong, 2 of these things and you're in a food coma, can't wait to make more though!

Perfect for muggleborns of all ages!
by anavringrrl (5 out of 5 stars)

I absolutely love this book! It's incredibly fun and whimsical to read through, and the actual pages themselves are made to look as if they are from a tattered spellbook. The only thing that is rather bothersome (but not worth deducting stars in my opinion) is that the recipes are not gathered in any order you would find in a Muggle cookbook. For instance, there is a recipe for onion soup, next page is Molly's meatballs and gravy, next brussel sprouts, next double strawberry ice cream, and so on. Chapter titles include: "Good Food with Bad Relatives," "Treats from the Train," "Recipes from Giant and an Elf," "The Favorite Cook's Dishes," "Holiday Fare," and others.

Harry Potter loved eating this food
by Lolaloo (4 out of 5 stars)
August 22, 2018

I bought this to try to get my very picky eating Harry Potter fan a reason to try new foods ("but honey, Harry Potter loved eating this food!!"). It has kinda worked! I tried the shepherd pie recipe last night. First of all... DELICIOUS. Highly recommend - we didn't even have left overs because yum!

Second of all, the allure of Harry Potter was successful! For my HP fan, he ate way more than he normally would have - I was impressed. And he's not usually very gungho to eat meat or a vegetable of any kind and yet he ate at least half of what was on his plate. For this child, this is a serious accomplishment. Will be adding that meal and hopefully others into our regular rotation.

The only down side is - my non-HP fan was not in any way sold on this meal. (She used to be my "good eater" but then hit that awesome age where that stopped. Hoping she eats real food again sometime soon!).

For normal people, who just buy the book to have fun recipes they may not otherwise have and to further immerse themselves into the HP world, I think it's a win.

Will update if I find otherwise after trying more recipes.

Last thing to note - it seems heavier on sweet recipes than savory.

Amazing Book for the HP Fan & The Curious
by Vivienne (5 out of 5 stars)
March 25, 2018

Having purchased a British cookbook and delved into nerdy recipes before, I had expected some of what I received. However, after reading through this book I have to say it is an absolute steal as it jampacks easy to use, comprehensive and a lovely variety of recipes thoughtfully crafted by the author for the Harry Potter fan. I even accidentally purchased two copies but I've decided to give the second as a gift because I have to share how much I love this book. My only only complaint is that I wish it had some pictures but I've found the descriptions to be more than ample without them.

If you're a Harry Potter fan and an avid cook or baker, it's a must have.

Not just a gimmick
by M Dunn (4 out of 5 stars)

Being an ex-pat Brit in the US it was great to find a cookbook with some good old fashioned British recipes like my mum used to make! My Harry Potter fan son loves it and has been asking to make all sorts from it. As a book it's reasonably well laid out and thought through and I like the references to where to the food can be found in the series. And the recipes all seem pretty accurate so far!

I'd recommend it to anyone who really wants to know what toad in the hole really is!

British and some not exclusively British recipes
by LORNAN,Top Contributor: Harry Potter (4 out of 5 stars)
July 27, 2017

Contains British food recipes, not necessarily mentioned in the Harry Potter books and some are not exclusively British. The recipes range in difficulty, but nothing outrageously difficult. I would have liked there to be photos to see how the dishes should look. Also, does not have a butterbeer recipe that would have been a good addition. The author did include a brief history of the dishes and what connection they have to the Harry Potter stories. Keeping with the Harry Potter theme, the pages have an aged parchment-like look to them. Overall, a nice book to have if British recipes are what you're looking for.

Fantastic cookbook!
by S. Waldrop (5 out of 5 stars)
May 24, 2017

My eight-year-old LOVES this cookbook. Our favorite is the birthday cake. It's so stinkin' good and definitely worth all of the steps. The author did a fantastic job of finding recipes that go with the book and adapting them. It was my child's favorite Christmas gift and she's constantly pulling it out to look for new foods to try!

Old edition at new edition price
by Shopper (1 out of 5 stars)
August 12, 2018

There is a newer edition of the product which includes other recipies such as butter beer. No mention anywhere on Amazon of the newer edition but the gift recipient knew immediately this was not the most recent. By the time the gift was opened the return period had passed. A complete waste of money.

Calling all Harry Potter chefs
by bradley buford (5 out of 5 stars)
December 14, 2018

This cookbook is perfect for Harry Potter lovers. Although there is no butterbeer recipe (which was unfortunate) there are so many other great recipes! I loved how each recipe came with a description of how it was linked to Harry Potter and even a historical description about the recipe itself! England is my favorite country so learning about their favorite dishes and how they came to be is something really cool. It's very well rounded. There are side dishes, main dishes, desserts, snacks, holiday recipes and more. I highly recommend this cookbook! 🙂

Ps. The beef stew with herb dumplings is the best stew I've ever had. I also included pictures of the pumpkin pasties, beef stew and rock cakes.
