The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook Review: Recipes From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory

The year was 2000, my son was seven years old and a huge Harry Potter fan. He had read and reread the books published to date. As a matter of fact, we had all read and reread the books. The books had even travelled with us as we moved across Canada in the form of audiobooks.

With Harry Potter so important in our home, it seemed that a Harry Potter birthday party was definitely in order and one was planned. However, I searched and searched in vain for Harry Potter recipes and I know that, in the end, we created our own and we winged it. That, of course, was fine but boy would I have loved to have a proper Harry Potter cookbook in my hands!

My family's love for Harry Potter has not diminished over the years although to be honest I would have to say that my teenage sons are slightly disilllusioned by the movies because they were not very representative of the books. However, with the coming of the two-part movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and with the opening and subsequent media frenzy for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, our excitement about Harry Potter has been renewed.

It was, therefore, particularly exciting when I discovered this book,The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory by Dinah Bucholz , which was released on September 18, 2010.

On this page, find more information about the book as well as more information about Harry Potter recipes including links to my own pages dedicated to butterbeer recipes, butterbeer steins and the other, lesser known Harry Potter cookbook.
