You may have noticed that some of our books are identified as "deckle edge" in the title. Deckle edge books are bound with pages that are made to resemble handmade paper by applying a frayed texture to the edges. Deckle edge is an ornamental feature designed to set certain titles apart from books with machine-cut pages. See a larger image.

Honestly, I rather expected this book to go into some of the more unusual items of food within the wizarding world, such as fizzing whizzbees, cockroach clusters or even the ubiquitous butterbeer. What I actually received was a cookbook full of basic British recipes, ill-researched and clearly marketed heavily towards a market which was more enamoured with the "British-ness" of Harry Potter than the magical elements.
Many of the recipes would be far more difficult to follow than others I have seen, and often produced much poorer results.
Honestly, if you were unfamiliar with many of the recipes in the Harry Potter world, then I guess this book is a decent enough introduction to European/British cuisine, but if you hail from the UK, I would say AVOID. Go grab a Beero or Delia Smith book instead, you'll yield far better results!

If you are British, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! It's comments about the Britsh are very offensive and tactless!!
I advise that if you are looking for a 'Harry Potter' styled recipe (i.e. butterbeer - and this book doesn't even have a recipe for butterbeer) just use a search engine to find it instead of buying this horrid book!
I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it.

As a British citizen and slightly fanatic Harry Potter fan I strongly advise against this book! On the positive the facts expressed regarding the Harry Potter series are generally correct; unfortunately the writing comes across as basic, highly Americanised and generally ignorant! The writing is misrepresented and imprecise, references to the history of British culture are made where the author has clearly fallen victim to ill research methods and/or generally offensive stereotypes (comparable to wild guesses and prejudice). The recipes included are not inventive and exciting, for instance there are no suggestions for the famous butterbeer or cockroach cluster, but rather are misdirected "stereotypical" dishes which are often incorrect in their assumptions and unimaginative in their reality. As an avid Harry Potter fan I am happy to have this as part of my collection but would not recommend the book for any further reason.
