Get to know more than 200 minifigures from the LEGO Harry Potter world - including an exclusive new minifigure to add to your collection! Me parecía interesante comentar el título de cada capítulo porque entiendo que más o menos os haréis una idea del contenido (aunque bueno, igual hay que echarle imaginación). Lo que sí os puedo aclarar es que podemos cocinar de todo: sopas, caldos y gachas, carnes, pescados, huevos, verduras y guarniciones, postres, helados, caramelos y golosinas, bebidas y panes, bollos y pastas. Una vez que tenemos los títulos y los tipos de comida (que vienen siendo todos), ahora toca adentrarse en el contenido de cada uno de los capítulos.

Por eso hoy os enseño este recetario tan chulo que me llegó el otro día de parte de @duomoediciones en el que vienen detalladas 150 recetas de platos y bebidas que se han visto en los libros o películas de Harry Potter, además cada una te señala dónde se vio. This book is an unauthorized cookbook printed as if it were an old book with parchment papers and purpleish ink. Each chapter has a theme and contains paraphrased quotes from the American editions of the books. I prefer the British editions but this cookbook is solely for an American audience.When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. There could be magic everywhere. Sometimes we can explain it away with science but sometimes there are things in the gaps that defy simple explanation. La autora ha hecho un gran trabajo con este recetario. Se nota que se ha documentado muy bien, y queda demostrado que tiene muchos conocimientos sobre este mundo. A recipe for Bacon and Eggs? Really? Actually it's two recepies for Bacon and Eggs and then another for bacon. Has anybody ever needed instructions on how to make bacon? This is the must-have cookery book for any Harry Potter fans who are looking for a lesson in the art of cooking wizardry.

And then there was the Old-Fashioned Chocolate Buttermilk Sheet Cake Disaster. I was surprised at how liquid-y the batter was, and even more surprised that it only called for a 9x13 pan. Thinking that this cake probably wouldn't rise so much, I went ahead and used all the batter in one pan. Disaster. Complete, utter, total disaster. I followed the recipe to a tee and what happened? The batter bubbled up all over my oven, and continued to bubble and spill everywhere even after I removed it from the oven. All those ingredients, wasted. Smoke everywhere. Did the author even test this recipe? This should have been for two pans, or perhaps four round pans. DO NOT try to bake this in only one 9x13 pan, unless you want to waste the rest of the batter. In the interests of understanding the people that we share the world with, this book has been written by one of the leading elf scholars of the age, and they have been given free rein to offer their observations and opinions on the wizarding world.

OK, so I haven't yet tried out any of the recipes, so I won't rate it yet, but just from reading it there are some things I noticed: Quiero aclarar que, si bien el recetario está ambientado en este mundo, no todas las recetas son de platos «mágicos». De hecho, la mayoría de ellas pueden pasar por comida muggle, al fin y al cabo toda comida parte de la misma base. Por último, quiero añadir que al final del libro tenemos el índice de las recetas y varias páginas de anotaciones para apuntar cualquier cosita.

Lo interesante es que en la zona superior, y al principio de cada receta, existe un pequeño texto que relaciona un momento o situación acaecido en la saga de Harry Potter con el contenido de la receta. Chapter Six: Breakfast Before Class includes some of Harry's favorite breakfasts like fried sausage patties, porridge with cream and treacle, the classic English fry up, traditional English marmalade, lots of fried foods and the odd one out-cinnamon pull-apart breakfast rolls. That last one sounds good and is topped with cream cheese icing. This section is very classically British and what I would expect to be served at Hogwarts. But, as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so is the proof of a cookbook in how many recipes the reader can use. I copied down more than 40 recipes — which is great as far as I’m concerned. Dinah Bucholz, a huge Harry Potter fan and food lover, has always been interested in what the characters are eating.Chapter Three: Treats from the Train has the fun stuff mentioned in the books like pumpkin pasties and pumpkin juice. There are also pancakes (with a sidenote on Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day and classically British pies. I might try a bite of pumpkin pasty if someone else made it but nothing else Chapter Two: Delights Down the Alley contains varied dishes like ice cream, burgers and chocolate pudding. Again all of these seem very American to me and yes I've been to England and lived there with a host family for a few months. The most amusing but necessary recipe is how to make a proper cuppa. They forgot to strain the leaves and pour the tea into cups LOL! Las recetas están muy bien explicadas. En la parte izquierda de la página tenemos los ingredientes y en la parte derecha una anécdota real sobre el plato en cuestión. En la siguiente página (o siguientes páginas) nos encontramos con las instrucciones, claramente explicadas, para realizar nuestra deliciosa comida o bebida. Nulla più di una bieca operazione commerciale che sfrutta il nome del mago più famoso del mondo per vendere copie di uno pseudo ricettario...ricette che non hanno niente a che vedere con la saga della Rowlings, spiegate male e impreparabili...la ricetta più interessante? Il gelato: prendete una pallina di gelato alla crema e mettetela in una coppetta, poi aggiungete una pallina di gelato al cioccolato, una pallina di gelato alla nocciola e ricoprite il tutto di granella di pistacchio...questo è il livello del libro. This extraordinary collection is a fantastic gift for all Harry Potter fans, young and old - sure to take pride of place on any bookshelf!

A LOT of space is used for the quotes mentioning the food and then telling more about that scene in great detail. You know, I've read the Harry Potter books. More than once. I've watched the movies. I'm quite familiar with the stories...as I assume are most people reading this book. We don't need to be told that Harry is best friends with Ron. These parts could have been shorter.All in all, I'd recommend this for really, really new cooks and maybe kids. But as an adult, I don't really need recipes for a lot of these things. I'll hang on to it purely for the Harry Potter theme, but probably won't use it much. Get ready for a whole lot of laughter with this unofficial Harry Potter Joke Book – sure to provide endless fun! However, some of the recipes leave something to be desired. I agree with other reviewers. Really, a recipe for eggs and bacon? I think most people who are capable of cooking the rest of the recipes in this book know how to cook bacon and eggs. The sugar-mice are just fondant? Who wants to eat just plain-old fondant? Why not add some flavoring (I don't count vanilla extract) and then roll the mice in sugar to make...SUGAR mice? I am not sure why, but this Treacle Fudge recipe peeked my interest. I love fudge, the texture, the sweetness - so dreamy. With the addition of molasses, I had to try it. The note in the margin of the book stated that "some speculate that a batch of caramels came out wrong - fudged - but it seems it was invented in the United States." I have never had fudge that wasn't chocolate or peanut butter, so this was a fun new baking adventure. It looked like a lot of steps in the directions, but with my mixer, it was fairly easy.
