The Wizard's Cookbook: Magical Recipes Inspired by Harry Potter, Merlin, The Wizard of Oz, and More by Aurelia Beaupommier
5.0
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.
