Green Eggs and Ham P Q Serves 1
JuniDL Ingredients:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place slices of ham
* 2 eggs
on a pan lined with tin foil, lightly sprinkle with
* 225g spinach
brown sugar and drizzle with a small amount of
* Garlic
honey. Place in the oven and cook until the sugar
* 100g butter
is caramelized.
* 1 tbsp milk
2. Blend a handful of spinach.
* 2 English muffins
3. Bring a mixture of ⅔ water and ⅓ vinegar to
* 2 slices of ham
a light boil, and add blended spinach.
* Brown sugar
4. Poke small holes in the wide ends of the eggs
* Honey
and place in boiling water for 10 seconds, then
* White Vinegar
remove with slotted spoon.
* Shredded cheddar
5. Wait until the eggs are cool enough to handle
cheese
easily, ensure that the water is only slightly bubbling, and break the eggs as closely to the water as possible.
6. Cook for four minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in cool water. 7. Chop the rest of the spinach and ensure that it is dry. 8. In a pan, combine butter, flour, and garlic over medium heat and allow to cook until garlic is very slightly browned. Add milk and spinach and combine thoroughly. Cover and remove from heat allowing spinach to become limp. 9. Toast English muffins; add ham, egg, spinach, and a little bit of shredded cheese before serving. Green Eggs and Ham is one of the first books that children learn how to read; it has introduced millions of children to the magic of literature and the wonder of imagination. Using only 50 unique words, the book was the result of a bet, with Dr Seuss as the victor. Maybe if Sam-I-Am had used this recipe, he wouldn't have been so hesitant to try this food.

Gruel V K D G P Q Serves 4
JuniDL Ingredients:
1. Boil water in a pan and add salt.
* 850 mL water
2. Add the rolled oats, reduce heat and allow to
* 1 tsp salt
simmer for about five minutes, stirring
* 2 cups rolled oats
occasionally.
* Sliced Almonds
3. Remove from the heat and stir in cinnamon,
(optional)
cover and let stand.
* Fruit of choice
4. Toast sliced almonds in a pan at medium heat
* 1 tbsp cinnamon
until slightly browned (can use already toasted almonds)
5.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and fruit over the oatmeal to serve.
We imagine You Know Who himself said, "Please, sir, I want some more," of this Dickensian oatmeal when he lived at an orphanage as a child.

Swedish Pancakes V K P Makes 8-10 pancakes
ravenclawredditor Ingredients:
1. Sift together flour and sugar (optional milk
* 2 eggs
powder).
* 700ml milk
2. Beat eggs and milk until light and fluffy.
* 210g enriched, all-
3. Add the dry ingredients to the egg and milk
purpose flour
mixture and let it stand at room temperature for
* 2 tbsp. sugar
about 30 minutes.
* 3 tbsp. butter
4. Preheat a skillet until a drop of water ""sizzles""
Optional:
when dropped on it and a pat of butter will melt,
* 100g dry milk powder
but not burn. 5. Brush the pan lightly with butter. Pour enough batter onto pan to completely cover the flat surface after you swirl it around.
6. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side then check to see if the pancake is browning. When it is lightly browned, flip it gently. Repeat for the second side. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all batter is used. Finished pancakes can be kept warm in a 100째C. oven until all the batter is used. 8. Serving suggestions: lemon and sugar; chocolate syrup and whipped cream; whipped cream and fruit (strawberries, peaches, etc); Swedish lingonberries or other favourite preserves. These pancakes might not make you as strong as Pippi Longstocking (unless you add some strengthening potion!) but they will let your playful side out.

covered beater upright; the mixture should retain its peaked shape, but fold over very slightly at the end,
4. Add the rest of the sugar, cornflour, salt and vanilla and beat the mixture for a moment to ensure everything is thoroughly combined. 5. Very gently fold the coconut into the meringue mixture using a plastic spatula or scraper. Try to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. 6. Spoon generously heaped teaspoons of the mixture onto your baking tray, leaving space between them for the mixture to spread. Set the cookies aside, uncovered, at room temperature for one hour before baking. 7. Bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes, until the outside is crisp and lightly browned and the inside slightly sticky and chewy. If one of your trays sits below the other in your oven, switch them over halfway through the cooking time for best results. Allow to cool slightly before gently removing from the baking trays. 8. (optional) If desired, melt your chocolate over the macaroons or use it as the filling for a macaroon sandwich. Allow to harden before serving. The Famous Five’s high teas were never complete without some mouth-watering macaroons.

Vampire Protection Dip V K G P NC Q Makes 1 pot
Bartowski_ Ingredients:
1.

Mix with salt to create something of a paste.
Add the paste to the yogurt.
Both clockwise-stirring and counterclockwise-stirring will suffice. 4.
When mixed, add the lemon juice and mix again. There is no danger in over-
stirring; stirring is key in this phase of the brew. 5.
Have a cup of yummy garlic dip to go with numerous dishes both muggles
and wizards can prepare that simultaneously doubles as a defensive measure when venturing into a voyage with vampires. Gilderoy Lockhart claims that this dip helped him ward off unwanted vampires during his adventures. Whether these claims are true or not, this dip will drive a stake of flavour through your heart.

.Cut the dough into 6 strips which should be about 5 cm x 22 cm.
5. In a bowl, place three tablespoons of apricot preserve with two tablespoons of water. Microwave for about one minute, and spread onto the dough. 6. Preheat oven to 190°C. and drain the apples. 7.
With the dough strip placed lengthwise, arrange the apple slices to cover the
length of one half of the dough so that the apple edge with the skin lies off the top, with each slice overlapping the next. Sprinkle with cinnamon 8. Fold up the bottom part of the dough. it will not cover the apple slices entirely, the rounded red part will be showing. these will be our 'petals' 9. Roll the dough and apples into a 'rose'. seal the edge by pressing the dough with your fingers, and place in a muffin cup. Repeat for all 6 roses. 10. Bake at for about 40-45 minutes, until fully cooked.. Make sure the pastry is fully cooked on the inside before removing from the oven. If after 30 minutes the apples on top look fully cooked, move the pan to a lower rack in the oven, and wait for 10-15 more minutes to avoid undercooking the puff pastry. 11. Sprinkle with powder sugar and enjoy! Snow White is a popular Muggle fairy tale. However, the story is based in truth, the poison apple that Snow White’s step mother gave to her was in fact coated with Draught of Living Death.

Curious Skillet Tortilla Pizza V K P Q Makes/serves
Bartowski_ Ingredients:
Recommended utensils: Magical accessories are
* Flour Tortillas
discouraged: especially cauldrons (not even the tiny-
* Mozzarella cheese
tinker cauldron refurbished for tiny-tinctures).
(grated)
1.
Heat a skillet on medium high to high heat.
* Tomato Sauce
Place a flour tortilla in the center of the skillet.
* Fresh Basil leaves
When the tortillas begins to puff up or form air bubbles, flip it and turn the heat down to medium low. Pierce the air bubbles with a knife tip or fork to deflate them.
Warning: please recall that wands are (despite admittedly being pointy) wooden and therefore flammable. 2.
Sprinkle the top of the tortilla with a thin layer of grated mozzarella cheese.
Once the cheese is about half-way melted, spoon on a thin layer of tomato sauce, using the back of the spoon to spread over the cheese. Sprinkle the top of the tomato sauce with a little more cheese. 3.
Once the edges of the tortilla are browning, indicating that the bottom of
the tortilla is getting nice and brown, remove the pan from the heat. Cover the top of the pan with a cover for about a minute or so, so the cheese on top can melt with the residual heat from the pan. Note: Incendio or similar spells may be cast to avoid waiting time in step 3. Always apply spells in the kitchen with caution! 4.
Sprinkle with fresh sliced basil.
5. Enjoy a freshly made appetizer. Curious George didn't have a wand, but that didn't stop him from making this recipe (with the help of the Man in the Yellow Hat) and throwing a pizza party!

ready to serve. It is best if chilled overnight. Straight from Florean’s personal recipe book, chocolate chili ice cream has been known to cause the eater to release steam from his ears. - 34 -
Nutella Miracle Cake V K D G P Q Serves 1 Bruce Bogtrotter
lucyinthesky95 Ingredients: * 4 Large Eggs * 240g Nutella or
1.
Preheat the oven to 180째C (160째C fan forced) (Gas mark 4)
2. Beat the (whole) eggs in the stand mixer (or
Chocolate Hazelnut
using your choice of whisk) until fluffy, light
spread
in colour and tripled in volume (this takes
* Cocoa Powder (optional)
about 5-7 minutes using a stand mixer).
* Pinch of Salt (optional)
3. Gently heat the Nutella (or chocolate
* Choice of flavouring
hazelnut spread) in the microwave for about
essence (optional)
15 seconds (or using your desired heating apparatus);
The texture should be thinner, easier to stir, but not too much warmer than body temperature or you'll cook the eggs. If desired, add your salt and flavouring essence (I like vanilla or peppermint) to the Nutella now. 4.
Gently fold the egg mixture into the Nutella mixture 1/3 at a time, trying to
keep as much air as possible. 5. When everything is combined, transfer the mixture into the lined cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. 6. Cool the cake entirely before removing from the pan. If desired, dust with cocoa powder or icing sugar to decorate, and serve with fresh berries and ice cream, or just as is. Please note: This recipe is peanut free, and if using Nutella contains no traces of peanuts, but definitely contains hazelnuts. Nutella Miracle Cake is a true miracle in taste, but be warned that if you steal a piece from Miss Trunchbull, you may very well end up in the chokey.

Pumpkin Juice V K D G P Q Serves 1 Hagrid
deaddovedonoteat Ingredients:
1.
Start by placing your half a pumpkin or
* half of a butternut
squash in a baking tray lined with a layer of
squash or baking
water. Roast for approx 40 minutes at 180C
pumpkin
until soft when fork is pressed in.
* 475 ml water
2. Remove from oven, cool and remove skin.
* 710 ml apple juice
3. In a blender, combine the squash and water
* 120 ml apricot nectar
and blend. You can also put the pumpkin
* ½ tsp vanilla essence
through the juicer, following it with water
* 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
(putting just the pumpkin through does next
* 100g sugar
to nothing). 4. In a saucepan, combine the 300 ml of the pumpkin juice with the apple juice, apricot nectar, vanilla essence, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice and sugar.
5. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 20-30 minutes. (By simmering you'll be reducing the water so it'll have a more concentrated taste and will help the spices infuse with the juices, which plays a big part in the taste.) 6. Chill and serve (although served hot is wonderful too!) We dare you not to think of Hogwarts when you drink this pumpkin juice.
