Super fun book

The recipes are very clever, and I can’t wait to try them. The presentation in the pictures is wonderful making this a great source of ideas for Halloween entertainment.

Cute! Odd! Charming! I could probably conjure a dictionary worth of words to describe the recipes found within this book. I only hope to make them soon!

Good ideas, the execution isn't always working for me. And some of these things I am less than familiar with cooking normally so adjustments are hard, but luckily, I am used to the kitchen and can fix things. I like the ideas and the flavours, just the execution occasionally falls flat or literally doesn't form up! I shall keep using it as a baseline and then changing it however I like to make it work. *the turkish delight really did not work out.

This was delightful!! I'm always suspect of novelty cookbooks in this vein because too often the authors think that all we need is recipes for soda with food coloring or box cake mix with jello in it or other lurid combinations that don't necessarily taste good and turn your tongue and teeth horrible colors.

This cookbook has recipes that not only sound quite plausible for the various witches & wizards they are ascribed to, but they sound tasty too! There are several I bookmarked simply because they sounded fun to make, no matter the inspiration. The drinks section had some really nice non-alcoholic potions as well as boozier options.

As a geek I was also quite pleased at the range and variety of sources for their recipes, from the obvious Harry Potter to the classic D&D to more obscure DuckTales to modern stuff like WoW. Also it wasn't all males either, despite the name there were plenty of witches and sorceresses.

Planning on using this cookbook for Christmas! Amazing photography, great looking recipes and the way they're written makes me so nostalgic to all the wonderful fairytales referenced. I'll talk about the recipes once I make some!
