Created by food writer maestro Joanna Farrow, this new upcoming book features full-colour photography and over 40 recipes - both savoury and sweet - including snacks, desserts, drinks and more. Mrs Weasley would either be extremely jealous or obsessed with this.

Here’s a look at just a couple of magical munches.

Pasta lovers, you could put a Hogwarts twist on your favourite dish by simply adding the colours of the four Hogwarts houses: some yellow peppers for Hufflepuff, some green beans for Slytherin, eggplant for Ravenclaw and pepperoni for Gryffindor. Buono!

Why have we not thought to make a giant cauldron sandwich before?! Perhaps if Snape had one of these before his Potions class, he would be in a far better mood.

Other meals in the book are themed around some of your favourite characters, such as a hearty soup inspired by Hagrid (thank Merlin it’s not his rock cakes!) some Draco Malfoy blondies, Sir Cadogan’s sword kebabs, a troll bogey smoothie (yes, really!) and many more culinary delights. Nutritional and dietary information is provided throughout, along with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options.

If you’re a young, aspiring chef, this cookbook also features many cooking tips and pieces of advice to get you started, including step-by-step instructions that are easy for all the family to follow.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re suddenly in the mood for some Owl Post savoury crepes!
