Surprisingly, Harry loves pumpkin and drinks pumpkin juice regularly

Thirteen years ago a magical event happened. Writer JK Rowling created and brought to life the little wizard Harry Potter and the whole world in which he lives. All these thirteen years, people stood in lines for days for a new book, children abandoned their computers, and adults re-mastered the skills of reading paper books.

The life of Harry Potter seemed magical, but at the same time quite real. Perhaps due to the fact that the writer used in her book completely real names of streets, cities, towns in “good old England”, as if saying between the lines: “What if you look; walk along these streets, maybe you’ll find something so magical.” Or because she didn’t forget to talk about such “little things” in the life of wizards, like dinners, Christmas feasts, Mrs. Wesley’s cozy and warm dinners….

So what's on the Harry Potter menu? What does the future great magician like to eat?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Ch. 7. Sorting Hat

“... Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students and beamed, opening his arms wide to greet them, as if there was no greater pleasure in his life than to see them all gathered together in this hall.

- Welcome! - he exclaimed. - Welcome to the start of the new school year at Hogwarts! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. And my words will be like this: Tyutya! Reva! Rwaklya! Tsap! Thank you! Dumbledore sat down. Everyone shouted and clapped happily. But Harry didn't know whether to laugh or not.

- Is he a little bit of that? - He turned to Percy hesitantly.

- That one? - Percy asked absentmindedly. - He is a genius! He is the best magician in the world! But he, quite rightly, is a little bit of that. Should I give you some potatoes?

Harry gasped in surprise - it turned out that the tables had been laden with food for a long time. He had never seen so many delicious dishes together: roast beef, fried chicken, pork and veal chops, sausages, bacon, steak, fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, french fries, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup and, for some incomprehensible reason, mint candies.

In general, the Dursleys did not starve Harry, but still he never ate as much as he would have liked. Besides, Dudley always took away everything Harry showed interest in, even if it made Dudley sick. Harry filled his plate to the brim with a little of everything (except the lollipops) and began to eat.

The food was amazingly delicious. When everyone had eaten, the remnants of food evaporated from the plates, and the dishes began to shine clean again.

A moment later dessert appeared - a huge amount of ice cream of every kind imaginable, apple pies, treacle cakes, chocolate eclairs, jam donuts, truffles, strawberries, jelly, rice pudding... While Harry was stuffing his mouth with treacle cake, the conversation turned about relatives."

Yorkshire pudding

This pudding is a traditional English food that Harry likes just as much as cake.

You will need: Eggs - 3 pcs., Milk - 300 ml, Flour - 125 g, Salt - half a teaspoon, Black pepper - to taste, Vegetable oil - depends on the molds in which you will bake

Preparation: The first thing you need to do is take all the pudding ingredients out of the refrigerator about an hour or two in advance. By the time you start preparing the text, it is very important that their temperature is the same. Another important point that must be completed is to set the oven to preheat to 230 degrees 20 minutes in advance.

Having fulfilled these two conditions, you can safely get to work. The dough for Yorkshire pudding is mixed as follows. Combine flour and milk, ensuring that there is not a single lump in this mixture. Then, using a mixer, beat the eggs, then add them to the milk and flour mixture. Mix everything well (a mixer will help you), add salt, pepper, and... that's it.

The pudding dough is ready. Now, pour 1 tbsp into each ramekin in which you will bake the Yorkshire pudding. vegetable oil. If your shapes are larger than traditional ones, then the amount of oil should be increased. So, after you have poured the oil into the molds, put them in the oven for 10 minutes. It is very important that the oil is very hot. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, pour the batter into each mold. You need to fill the molds three-quarters full because the puddings will rise a lot during baking. After filling out the forms, place the puddings in the oven for about half an hour.

The finished Yorkshire pudding should have a very beautiful golden color. The pudding should be served hot, straight from the oven. It is at this moment that it has a wonderful crispy crust and tender crumb.

Treacle Cake

Indeed, you can “stuff your mouth” with this cake, it is so tasty and tender. Harry Potter does just that...

You will need: 225 g flour with baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. spice mixtures. 100 g softened butter, 75 g powdered sugar, 5 tbsp. l. black molasses, 150 ml sour cream, 100 g sultanas, sifted powdered sugar for decoration

Preparation: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Use a square pan with a side of 18 cm. Grease the pan with butter and line with parchment paper. Mix flour, spices, butter, powdered sugar, black molasses, sour cream and sultanas into a homogeneous mass. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and level the surface.

Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes, until a warm knife removed from the middle of the cake comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack; to let the cake cool. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Chapter 10. Halloween

“...Halloween came unnoticed. Waking up in the morning, the children smelled the smell of baking pumpkin wafting through the corridors. Thousands of live bats flapped their wings under the ceiling and on the walls, forming garlands, while thousands more hung in low clouds above the tables, causing the flames of the candles in the pumpkins to flutter and fill the Hall with a wavering, mysterious light.

Fabulous dishes appeared unexpectedly on golden plates, just as they did at the banquet in honor of the beginning of the school year. Harry was just stuffing his mouth with baked potatoes when Professor Squirrel burst into the hall, his face twisted in horror, his turban askew. Everyone present watched as he ran up to Professor Dumbledore’s chair, leaned exhaustedly against the table and squeezed out with difficulty:

“The troll is in the dungeon—thought you should know.”

Baked Potato with Pumpkin

What's Halloween without baked pumpkin? And Harry always loves baked potatoes - both on weekdays and on holidays, just like pumpkin.

You will need: Potatoes - 500 g, Pumpkin - 500 g, Ham - 125 g, Milk - 375 ml, Onion - 1 head, Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. l., Egg - 3 pieces, Bread crumbs - 150 g, Cheddar cheese - 200 g, Salt - to taste, Ground black pepper - to taste

Preparation: Boil potatoes and pumpkin separately, without bringing them to full readiness. Cut into cubes. Lightly fry finely chopped onion and ham in vegetable oil over medium heat. Mix the ham and onions with the pumpkin and potatoes and place in a baking dish. Mix grated cheddar (100 g) with milk, eggs and breadcrumbs. Pour the cheese mixture over the potatoes and pumpkin. Sprinkle 100g grated cheddar on top. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees until golden brown (about 35-40 minutes).

Harry Potter And The Chamber of secrets. Chapter 3 Haven

“...I'm very glad you came, Harry dear,” said Mrs. Wesley. - Come in, eat something from the road. She turned and walked into the house, and Harry looked fearfully at Ron and, receiving an encouraging nod from him, followed her.

The kitchen was small and rather shabby. In the middle there was a planed wooden table and chairs. Harry sat down on the edge of one of them and began to look around. He had never been to a witch's house before. On the wall opposite there hung a clock with one hand and no numbers at all. Instead, along the edge there were inscriptions: “Time to put on tea,” “Time to feed the chickens,” “Late again.”

On the mantelpiece, three rows of books were crowded with titles like “A Magical Zest for Everyone,” “Magic Baking,” “Feast in One Minute—Miracles!”….

Mrs. Wesley was bustling around. She prepared breakfast with deft, albeit somewhat careless, movements and after each sausage thrown into the frying pan, she cast angry glances at her sons. At regular intervals, an audible grumbling was heard from her - “I don’t know where your head was” and “I would never believe it.”

Scrambled eggs with sausages

The homeliest, simplest and most traditional English breakfast dish. Harry doesn't give up on him either.

Preparation: Place canned beans in tomato in a frying pan and heat, adding a little butter. Fry two pieces of thinly sliced ​​bacon and one or two large sausages until crispy in a frying pan or grill. Fry a few fresh or canned champignons and tomatoes in butter or grill them. Fry two slices of toaster bread in the melted butter that remains after the bacon; fry a fried egg from two fresh eggs in the same lard or vegetable oil. Place all the prepared foods on a large plate, placing the scrambled eggs in the center, sausages and bacon next to them, and vegetables and toast around the edges. Serve ketchup and juice.

Cauldron scones from the Hogwarts Express

In the Harry Potter books, these are exactly the buns that could be bought on the Hogwarts Express from the sweets seller.

Preparation: Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Mix eggs, sugar, butter, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and milk. Pour the batter into the muffin tins, but do not overfill them as the cakes should be semi-flat! Bake for 25 minutes.

Harry Potter And The Chamber of secrets. Ch. 12 All-Essence

“...Other gifts brought much more joy. Hagrid sent over a voluminous jar of treacle toffees, which Harry heated over the fire before putting them in his mouth; Ron gave him a book called Flying with the Guns, a collection of interesting stories about his favorite Quidditch team, and Hermione bought Harry a luxurious eagle feather. In the last package from Mrs. Wesley, Harry found another self-knitted sweater and a large plum pie. Harry read the affectionate card from her, feeling a fresh surge of guilt, and thought about Mr. Weasley's car (which no one had seen since the fall on the Whomping Willow) and about the latest series of violations of all sorts of rules that he and Ron had been up to. Not a single living creature, even one who thought with horror about the upcoming reception of the All-Essence, could not enjoy the Christmas feast at Hogwarts. The Great Hall appeared in all its brilliant splendor. Here, as always, stood a dozen frost-covered fir trees, a cheerful crosshair of fluffy garlands of mistletoe and holly hung over them, and enchanted snowflakes, warm and dry, fell from the ceiling. Dumbledore conducted, and everyone sang their favorite Christmas songs in a friendly choir. boomed louder with each subsequent cup of eggnog - a drink like eggnog with rum.”

Eggnog is a magical drink

The favorite Christmas drink of the British, as you know, is Eggnog or eggnog. And at Hogwarts, even young magicians drink it with rum. And Harry Potter, of course.

Preparation: Beat 1 egg yolk, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sugar, a little salt, 2 tbsp. spoons of rum and 2/3 cup of milk. Mix all this, strain and combine with beaten egg white. Stir again before serving.

My whole family is in love with the world of Harry Potter. I proudly wear my Slytherin scarf and my boyfriend is a die-hard Gryffindor fan.

Sometimes it hurts to wish that among the gray everyday life there would be a small place for magic. Unfortunately, those around me are unlikely to understand if I start running around the city in a robe and shouting spells. In the very first gateway, brothers in white coats swaddle me.

If you wish, it is quite possible to find a way to bring a piece of magic into everyday life. The easiest way is to repeat food recipes from Harry Potter. Basically, JK Rowling referred to traditional English cuisine in her books. Let's throw a party similar to the festive feast at Hogwarts.

Ingredients
from 350 ml of unfiltered beer;
4 tbsp. l. salted butter;
¾ tbsp. brown sugar;
¼ tbsp. whipped cream with a high percentage of fat content;
1 tsp vanillin.

Cooking method
Harry Potter and his friends love low-alcohol drinks. Butterbeer appears most often in books and films. I suggest starting an excursion into Hogwarts cooking with him.

First of all, let's prepare the toffee filling. It will come out in abundance. In a water bath or in a saucepan with a thick bottom, you need to melt the butter. After this, add granulated sugar in a thin stream and stir vigorously until the crystals are completely dissolved.

Bring to a boil, process for 4-5 minutes over low heat until the mixture begins to change color. Remove from heat, add cream and vanillin, thoroughly beating the mixture with a mixer. Refrigerate. Store the filler in a closed jar for no more than 2 weeks.

Now it's time to tackle the low-alcohol drink itself. For one serving you will need 350 ml of beer and 3-4 tbsp. toffee filler. To make a hot drink, place the mixture of ingredients over low heat and bring to a boil. Use a blender to make cold beer. By the way, Hermione prefers to add a little grated ginger to her glass.

Ingredients
500 g minced beef;
2 small hot peppers;
1 clove of garlic;
½ tbsp. chopped onion;
½ tbsp. grated carrots;
½ tbsp. frozen peas;
2 tbsp. mashed potatoes;
100 g tomato paste;
½ tbsp. grated hard cheese;
salt, ground pepper, other spices as desired;
paprika for decoration.

Cooking method
In a small saucepan, lightly heat the tomato paste, add salt, ground pepper and seasonings. Pour the sauce into a plate and set aside. Fry the minced meat in a frying pan until brownish. Place the meat in a bowl and let cool slightly. In the same pan, place the chopped chili pepper, garlic, carrots and onions. Fry for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Defrost the peas. Mix the vegetables, minced meat and tomato sauce thoroughly and place in a buttered mold. Cover with a thick layer of mashed potatoes, sprinkle with grated cheese and garnish with paprika. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes (until the cheese turns brownish). Before serving, let the pie rest for a quarter of an hour.

Ingredients
½ tbsp. chocolate drops;
200 g toffee;
100 g coconut flakes;
1 package of “Straw” cookies.

Cooking method
In a water bath, melt the chocolate drops into the glaze, add toffee, stir until smooth. Add coconut flakes. Dip cookies into the resulting substance and place them in bulk on a plate. Let cool. The sticks should be embossed.

Ingredients
For filling:
500 g pumpkin marc;
4 tbsp. softened butter 73% fat;
1-2 medium cloves of garlic;
½ tbsp. grated cheese;
pepper on the tip of a knife;
a pinch of salt.

For the test:
0.5 kg flour;
250 g butter;
100 ml heavy cream;
2-3 chicken eggs;
salt.

Cooking method
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the pumpkin pomace with softened butter to a puree consistency, add the cheese and garlic, passed through a masher. Season with salt (preferably sea salt) and ground pepper to taste.

Knead the dough and place it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Roll out the layer and cut out circles with a diameter of 10-15 cm from it. Place the filling on the blanks and secure the edges according to the cheburek principle. To prevent the contents from leaking, it is better to play it safe and seal the envelopes twice overlapping. Bake for 25-30 minutes, wait another quarter of an hour before serving.

Ingredients
½ medium sized pumpkin;
1 large red apple;
1 lemon;
1 ginger shoot, 2-2.5 cm in size.

Cooking method

In Harry Potter, dishes are prepared using magic. Muggles like you and me will have to act in much less magical ways. To obtain delicious pumpkin juice, we cannot do without a knife and special equipment.

Peel the pumpkin and apple, remove the seeds and core. Pass through a juicer along with lemon. Chop the ginger root quite finely. Throw it into a saucepan with juice and let it sit for 1-2 hours. During this time, the beneficial substances from ginger will be transferred into the drink. Before serving, strain through cheesecloth. If you like, you can add mint and cinnamon. The yield of the drink is 2-3 servings.

Ingredients
For the base:
150 g of premium wheat flour;
75 g butter;
½ tsp. salt;
2-3 tbsp. l. clean water.

For filling:
25 g butter;
zest and juice of half a lemon;
340 g molasses;
1 tsp. rosemary;
1 ¼ tbsp. white breadcrumbs;
70 g almond flour;
1 chicken egg.

Cooking method
Harry Potter's favorite dessert is incredibly easy to make. You need to preheat the oven to 180 degrees and generously grease a shallow pie tin.

Grind the softened butter thoroughly with flour using a blender, gradually introducing cold water. Distribute the dough evenly along the sides of the mold and bake it for 20-30 minutes. Wait until the base turns golden brown.

Without wasting a second, start preparing the filling. Place the butter in a deep saucepan and place over moderate heat. Bring to a boil, add the remaining ingredients except the egg. Mix vigorously until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly (40-50 degrees is a completely acceptable temperature), only then add the egg. Otherwise the protein will coagulate.

Spread the sweet mixture evenly over the base. Bake for another 20-30 minutes. Test the doneness of our molasses pie by piercing it with a toothpick. You can remove the dish from the mold after it has cooled to room temperature. Cut into pieces and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients
For the test:
350 g flour;
1 tbsp. granulated sugar;
1 tsp table salt;
225 g butter;
½ tbsp. cold water;
1 egg to brush the pie.

For filling:
1.5 kg of beef or lamb;
salt;
freshly ground allspice;
4 tbsp. butter;
4 finely chopped garlic cloves;
2 large red onions;
2 medium carrots;
2 stalks of celery;
10 large champignons;
2 tbsp. l. wheat flour;
1 tsp rosemary;
600 ml strong beer;
250 g grated hard cheese;
3-4 tbsp. l. apple cider vinegar.

Cooking method
Knead the dough according to the standard procedure, using ingredients at room temperature. When pouring water, be careful - different brands of flour absorb different amounts of moisture. Vary the volume depending on the appearance of the dough. It should be dense and elastic. Place the workpiece in the refrigerator for about half an hour.

Preheat the oven to 180-190 degrees in advance. Melt the butter in a skillet with a removable handle set over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic. Brown for 10-15 minutes. Add coarsely grated carrots, chopped celery and mushrooms. Sprinkle with flour and add salt. Cook, stirring, for another 15 minutes.

Salt and pepper the meat. Add pieces of beef or lamb to the vegetables, lightly fry, add rosemary, pour in beer. The drink should cover the future filling by approximately 1-1.5 cm. Remove from heat and place in the oven for 1.5 hours. Remove the stew, stir and cook until fully cooked (another 30-40 minutes). The moisture will almost completely evaporate, and the filling will cook well.

Divide the filling into gratin cups, sprinkle generously with grated cheese and season with vinegar. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll out a thin layer and cut out circles to fit the molds. Cover the filling with the dough and tuck the edges in like a blanket. Brush the surface with egg. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 180 degrees. You will end up with 8-10 shepherd's pies. They should be served hot.

Cooking method
I don’t argue that you can make many things from Harry Potter with your own hands. For example, fans knit their own scarves, embroider emblems on clothes, and cut out magic wands. However, if you want to hit your friends in the heart, then invite them to try the delicious cauldrons.

Prepare the oven in advance by preheating it to 180 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Drizzle vanilla extract over mixture. Add butter, milk and well beaten egg. Bring to a homogeneous consistency. Place in ceramic cups, filling them approximately 1/2 full.

To prepare the gravy in a separate bowl, first mix the dry ingredients and lastly dissolve them with boiling water. Pour the mixture into the molds, covering the dough by 1 cm. Place the edible cauldrons in the oven for 45 minutes. Eat without removing from the molds.

In a large bowl, combine candied ginger, dried fruit, orange zest, and lemon zest. Pour in rum and leave to soak overnight. The next morning, transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Add sugar, softened butter, apple juice, milk and spices. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce the speed a little and cook for 5-10 minutes. Then let it cool.

Sift dry ingredients into dried fruit mixture. Separately, beat the eggs and, stirring constantly, add them to the dough. At the very end, add the roasted nuts. Bake in an oven preheated to 170-180 degrees for 1-1.5 hours. Check for doneness as described for the treacle tart. Remove from pan once completely cooled.

Shepherd's pie appears several times in the Harry Potter books.

To prepare it, cut a peeled onion (in cubes), two carrots (in strips), 700 grams of potatoes (in cubes) and one clove of garlic. Boil the potatoes in salted water and mash them into a puree. Add 1.5 tablespoons of butter, one teaspoon of ground coriander and salt. Add the egg to the cooled mixture and stir. Cover the pan with a towel and set aside. In a frying pan, fry onions, carrots and garlic in butter. Add 500 grams of minced lamb and fry for about seven minutes, breaking up any lumps.
