I admit it, I adore tie-in cookbooks. Redwall, Discworld, even Fanny Flagg's Whistle Stop Cafe cookbook...you find me a cookbook that ties in with a series I enjoy and I'll snap it up, lickety-split.

Alright, this was a pretty fun read. There was such a huge variety of recipes to try out! There were a few that I felt were a bit redundant (Bacon and eggs??) While others were a tad more advanced. I loved how you actually got a bit of a history lesson with all the dishes. All together though I felt this really captured the palate that you would find at Hogwarts.
