The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook , which came out last year, has sold more than , copies.

Lucky for all of us muggles, Dinah Buchholz has penned The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook , a guide to recreating all sorts of witchy and wizardy vittles introduced throughout the series. With more than easy-to-make recipes, tips, and techniques, you can indulge in spellbindingly delicious meals drawn straight from the pages of your favorite Potter stories.

There are some delectable-sounding treats, including a lot of stick-to-your-ribs winter fare. It sure is fun cooking to these literary references. And if you have any plans to throw a Harry Potter theme party, this cookbook is a must-have. In fact, we're such geeks, my husband and I planned our weekly date nights around this book. This book has everything Harry Potter. Not only does this cookbook have delicious recipes that make me feel like I'm in the Harry Potter story, but it cites each recipe from the book, so I know exactly where to imagine myself while eating these delicious treats.

With more than recipes, it includes foods explicitly mentioned in the Harry Potter books. The author includes historical tidbits about the recipes. I love this kind of thing. Which of the recipes do you think, Dinah, would be the best for a family to create? What was the most fun for your kids to participate in? My kids mostly participated [in] tasting the food. I did a lot of the recipe testing when they were not home because it was a little stressful to do. It was very intense; I had to test a lot of recipes a day to meet my deadline. So I did most of my testing when they were in school.

On days off, my husband was off from work that day. Like a Sunday, for example, he often took them out on a trip so that I could work.

So they really enjoyed the food. They loved the ice cream. They loved the fudge and the toffee, all the sweet stuff. The bouillabaisse soup, I actually did not test. So in order to keep kosher, you had to subcontract some of the items out to try to test it and have them get it down to the perfected level of recipe that you were happy with, is that correct?

Chris Koch took care of all the recipes that have pork, which is forbidden for Jews to eat, and like I said, shellfish, bacon… all of those recipes. And I put that up on my website because a lot of people do have milk allergies or do keep a kosher diet. They can find out how to use substitutions for those recipes on my website. Well, yes, [for] ingredients like golden syrup, I always write that you can always use corn syrup instead or a molasses or a maple syrup depending on the recipe. They do have different flavors, but they kind of behave the same way in a recipe. And they can be used as a substitution.

So I tried as much as I can to do that because I wanted the recipes to be accessible so that any home cook could pretty much find the ingredients in their pantry or just run around the corner to the local supermarket and get it. There are some ingredients that do call for ingredients that are hard to find, that you have to get online, especially the candied recipes like the nougat. I tried really hard to make it without wafer paper or rice paper, but it is so, so sticky, it will stick to anything.

The only way to get it out of the pan and to slice it is to coat it on top and bottom with the paper. And that was something I had to order online. Citric acid was another ingredient that is kind of hard to find in your local supermarket, so I had to order that online as well. But there are very few recipes like that in the book.

Well, you certainly do have a lot to choose from in the book. Some of your recipes on the website have alcohol in them, and they are not in the books; you separated them from the website and the book. What was the reason behind that one? The original recipes that I tested appeared like that. They all had alcohol in them. And so I had to modify the recipes. And your website is at www. Now, what is your next project? Do you have another book lined up for yourself? I am working on another literary cookbook.

Where else can people get the book? Oh, yes, thank you. It is available through my website, yes. I have so far one book signing in December. Everything is just starting now.

See a Problem?

The events are just starting, and my calendar is slowly filling up now. I have a food demo in Paramus, New Jersey, in November.

• Le dernier des cosques (Le dernier des cosaques t. 1) (French Edition).
• Покупки по категориям!
• Foreign Voltages and Frequencies Guide.
• Hey Baby! (The Sleepover Club).
• Special offers and product promotions.
• Essential Fingerpicking Patterns: A Beginners Guide To Fingerstyle Guitar!

Well, now November is a full calendar because, as you know, we do have the Harry Potter movie coming out. Those tables loaded with food, you just want to reach out into the screen and take a bite. I had no idea what that was, so it was interesting to read what that actually is. Well, I felt the same way when I saw treacle tart; I just had no idea what that was. So that was interesting for me to find out what the difference is.

But it was fascinating for me to learn what the foods were. I had no idea what they were, and I was oh, so curious because they sounded so good. Well, it really is a wonderful book. You did a great job. From an early age, Gina has had a passion for the culinary arts, experimenting in the kitchen with baking breads, muffins, cookies and cakes.
