Dinah Bucholz is the official author of The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. Dinah was born to a large family and grew up in a small New York City suburb called Monsey.

Dinah's first experience with baking occurred when she received for her ninth birthday a toy mixer from her mom that actually worked. She mixed up a chocolate cake batter without following a recipe and then poured the brown glop into plastic bowls and set them in the oven. Thankfully, she forgot to turn the oven on.

Today, Dinah lives in Philadelphia with her husband, five children, and a cat. She spends her time cooking and writing and wearing a professional-looking white chef's apron when she remembers to put it on.

The recipes I made all turned out really good - very tasty! Plus the book is very pretty.

Each recipe comes with a description of how it is related to the Harry Potter stories. There are also historical facts about the dishes and England which I really appreciated for their educational value for my daughter. The book itself is very pretty, with paper made to look like parchment and an appealing layout, font, coloring, etc - the edges of the paper have a torn parchment effect.

We made several of the recipes for a Harry Potter themed birthday party for my husband and daughter at Halloween and they all turned out great. I don't like seafood, but my husband does so I made the Bouillabaisse seafood soup and it was a huge hit. I made a giant pot and every last drop was eaten. Everyone loved it and thought it was beyond restaurant quality. I also made the Guinness stew which I personally loved and was also a big hit. The almond-Ginger-Peach Treacle Tart was FANTASTIC. I didn't have golden syrup so I used maple syrup and it was great. I also made bangers and mash - though I just used store-bought sausages which I cooked on the grill - but I used the book's mashed potato recipe and there was not a speck of potato left in the bottom of the pot - they were the first thing to go! There is a pumpkin juice recipe, which I used for inspiration but ended up making up my own version. There is NOT a butter beer recipe, but there are several recipes for butter beer online. I tried two and both did not turn out well. Considering how well everything else I made from this book turned out, I wish it had a butter beer recipe. Otherwise it has pretty much everything else from the movie you could think of.

My only other complaint is that it is a little hard to find the recipes. They are ordered into themed chapters: "Good food with bad relatives..." etc; and these chapters are listed in the table of contents in the front of the book. There is also an index in the back of the book. But the problem is since these are dishes with odd and unfamiliar names, I often cannot remember what they are called in order to easily look them up in the index. I wish each recipe was listed in perhaps small font under each chapter in the table of contents, because that would be far more helpful as I can remember about where in the book I saw one and figure it out from there. But I like the book enough that I did not take off a star for this little quibble.

Lots of nice ice cream recipes, if you own an ice cream maker.

Lots of delicious looking ice cream recipes! Cannot wait to try, knowing that using an ice cream maker can be time consuming. These really sound yummy and interesting. Also, cannot wait to try all of the Butterbeer recipes! Will be making this weekend, with my daughter, for our Harry Potter themed evening. The sundae ideas are some new and interesting concepts, that I had not thought of before.
The only suggestion, is that photos would be nice. They give us, as cooks, the confidence in the final product, and in our ability to pull the recipe off, ourselves. This in turn, gives us, as readers, confidence in you and your future books.
Would recommend to ice cream fans and Harry Potter fans, who want to have a real experience. Just remember, if you want to cheat or do not own an ice cream maker, when making the ice cream treats, substitute store ice cream and mix in the extra ingredients, like strawberry jam and chunky peanut butter, kinda like cold stone creamery.

Glad it was free...

...because I would have been pretty pissed if I had paid for this. Of the recipes in the "cookbook" only a few have any true relevance to the books. I mean "ice cream sundaes"??? Really??

Also, a great number are for various kinds of homemade ice cream. No different to what came in the packaging with your ice cream maker.

I am guessing the hope was to entice people with a little sample. For me it did quite the opposite. I will be steering quite clear of the full sized version. There was very little creativity in what could have been a cute and cool little cookbook for Harry Potter themed parties. If I want a recipe for ice cream or a hamburger, I certainly would not be looking for one in a Harry Potter themed cookbook just because he ate one once....somewhere in one o the books.

What a disappointment.

EDIT: Additionally, I want to point out that originally this review was set with the other reviews from the Kindle sampler. Now they are lumped in with the full cookbook. The full cookbook may be much better and I really don't think Amazon should have the reviews for both put together. My version had 10 recipes. Butterscotch Brew, Butterscotch Brew Ice Cream Soda, Butterscotch Brew Slushies, Double Chocolate Ice Cream Cones, Paddington Burgers, Triple Power Icy Lemon Pops, Chocolate and Raspberry Ice Cream Cones with Chopped Nuts, Pumpkin Juice, Strawberry and Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cones, and Ice Cream Sundaes. 5/10 recipes for ice cream, 1 for a hamburger, and 3 involving "Butterscotch Brew". Any question why the people who got the sampler aren't happy?

Very nice, and can't go wrong with free!

I'm here like most people, I think, wanting to know a good butterbeer recipe. I fell in love with it on my honeymoon trip to Universal Studios last year and my husband and I have craved it ever since. So, when I came across this ebook AND it was free- I knew I needed to get this. I love all the recipes and ideas in this and know I will definitely be making more than just the butterscotch treats! :) I also like the intros above the recipes that not only tell you when they had something like this, but it also helps set the mood where you feel you can be right there with them, enjoying.

Great for fans of cooking and Harry Potter, alike.

Great sounding recipes (have only tried one or two so far). I love how she pulls some of the 'quieter' food items out of the books (it's not all Butterbeer and steak and kidney pies) The tie-in with the Harry Potter books and where the food item might appear within is a bit more than I would have expected, and then you get [muggle] history thrown in, too! All of it makes this a fun book to actually READ. Yes, I read the whole book, marking recipes as I went.
I admit I am disappointed that (once again) someone thinks cauldron cakes are pancakes/flap jacks...but that's to be expected and does not diminish the value of this collection (it's just worth noting in-case, like me, you are searching for the perfect cauldron cake recipe).
