Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook, Reviewed

If you are looking for a way to delight of that special trick-or -treater in your life this Halloween, but don’t want to do so with candy, have I got an idea for you! The newly released Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook is an absolute spooky delight! Containing “Bewitchingly Delicious Recipes for Fans of the Halloween Classic,” this book is an absolute delight!

It is divided into sections, each with a charming, movie-related name, such as: Life Giving Fall Favorites, Recipes for Salem Townsfolk, From the Witches’ Spellbook, Bewitching Brews and Beverages, and more.

There are many things to love about this book whether you’re a fan of the film or not. First of all, it is loaded with mouthwatering color photos. Second, all of the recipes are concisely written, require no hard-to-find ingredients, and are doable for cooks of all skill levels and ages. Third, each recipe begins with an informative paragraph that ties in to the movie in one way or other.

There are a wide variety of recipes contained in the book, many of which are attractively plated, giving you clever serving ideas. If you are a cookie lover like I am, you will not find this book lacking. From The Brown Butter Book Blondies to Gingerdead (sic) Men, to the Gingerbread Witches Cabin House, there are lots of wonderful ideas. 

For main dishes, I enjoyed the Mischief Night Pasta as well as the cottage pie takeoff, Baked Witch Casserole. Kids will enjoy Mac ‘n’ Cheese, and the author’s take on Chicken Pot Pie.

Fun!
