Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking is a new televised baking competition like no other. Nine duos of expert bakers and Harry Potter superfans compete to create the most original, breathtaking Harry Potter-themed baked creations possible, amongst the original studio sets of the Harry Potter films in Hertfordshire. This book acts as both a recipe book, so you can try creating your own Potter treats, as well as a behind the scenes look at the show...

For budding cooks and Harry Potter fans, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking is an incredible show. Each episode takes a different set location and challenges the teams to come up with their own Potter-themed creations that not only look esthetically pleasing, but are also a treat for the palate.

This beautiful, full-colour book takes a peek behind the scenes of both the show and the film sets, re-living many magical moments and featuring a foreword from the show’s winners. You can also make some magic of your own in the kitchen by making some of the delicious, Potter-themed recipes included inside, inspired by the skill of these very special bakers.

What makes this book different to the usual franchise-themed cook book, is that the recipes are only a part of the book. The recipes are sprinkled throughout behind the scenes photos and information on the original creations that each team submitted for each episodes task. The book is divided into chapters that represent each episode's task.

It's beautifully designed and is certainly one that fans will get a great deal of pleasure out of attempting to recreate some of the delicious recipes.
