I bound nine works from the 2024 HP Recipe Rec Fest (@hprecipe-recfest) hosted by @tracingpatternswrites and @squintclover. All works were used with author permission. I designed the cover based on an obscure book shown in one scene of the Order of the Phoenix movie. More pictures below!

Endpapers for the book, designed by me.

The opening pages of the bind, including a table of contents.

Opening pages for Colin's Cookbook by @elisedonut

Opening pages for Devil in the Kitchen by @heartofspells

Opening pages for Have These On Me by @squintclover. AO3 account needed to read.

Opening pages and some details for Hermione's Pavlova by RegretfulPrince.

Opening pages How to Make the Most Perfect Pepperpot by @locomotiveodyssey.

Opening pages and some details for In the Wake of the War by @doingthechachaslide.

Opening pages and some details for The Most Important Part by Shadowmun, @mundrakan. AO3 account needed to read.

Opening pages for Rekindle by @tracingpatternswrites.

Opening pages for Savor the Moment by nena96.

I had a ton of fun making this bind and appreciate all the author's who permitted me to use their works!

This bind was made for me personal collection. I do not sell fic binds. Please never buy or sell fanfiction, it is illegal. Each story is linked under its respective picture(s).

[hprecipe-recfest]

This is such a fantastic piece of book bindery, and we are thrilled you liked the idea enough to turn the fest entries into a real book!

Thank you for obtaining permission from the authors and even bigger thanks for doing such a beautiful job on it. I'm sure each of the authors would want a copy of it were only possible 🤩

What a wonderful thing!

Thank you again.

❤️ HP Executive Chefs

[hprecipe-recfest]

Hello by chance will this fest return? I enjoyed participating

Hello chef!!

This was a lovely and surprising ask to receive on a Monday morning! We haven't actually discussed it and I don't know if it is something that others would want to participate in again...? Let's do a poll:

Would you like to see a recipe rec fest 2025?

Oui, chef

Once was fun but not again for me

Voting ended onDec 3, 2024

What we will say is that, if it doesn't go ahead again next year but you want to write something with a recipe included, please do tag us and we can add the fic and recipe to the recipe book as a specials menu!

Hermione's Pavlova

[ Read the full fic on Ao3 ] @hprecipe-recfest

Rated T Adult Draco/Hermione No Major Warnings Apply Mild Angst/Romance with Humour

Pavlova Recipe Included =

Three times, she had watched him come back for more.

Perhaps it was a deep seated paranoia, or the admittedly generous donations he’d made that night, but Hermione found it difficult to take her eyes off of Malfoy.

A pot-luck banquet— raising awareness and funding towards matters of Gnomish zoning rights and displaced fungal harvesters— was not the sort of event she’d ever expected him to attend. Just turning up to mock her efforts seemed like a particular stretch even for him, let alone putting forth a ridiculous sum of money for his trouble.

There was nothing on Earth that could have convinced her that Draco Malfoy actually cared about the issues affecting the Gnomish community. Whatever bizarre agenda drove him to attend remained an utter mystery to her clever mind, even after observing him for the better part of an hour.

He was relatively well behaved, all things considered. Clipped small talk and certainly not the most popular man in the room, but he busied himself with gluttony. An enchanting assortment of food currently swept the hall, levitating in a fantastical rotation to suggest themselves to the guests and serve up portions to those interested in them. Yet, the only dish he’d even acknowledged that night was a dessert. Malfoy had pointedly chased it down twice more, harassing the dish, responsible for disappearing nearly half of it into his stomach.

Hermione’s Pavlova.

🥚🍥New Recipe Fic Alert!🍥🥚

Oh this is such a great fic, with everything you would expect from a Dramione pairing. Love how you incorporated the recipe into the fic too. Very smooth!

here's my submission for @hprecipe-recfest! please enjoy <3

three (four) tablespoons of honey

She finds that she misses Poppy’s company, the warmth of her overstuffed room, the smell of cinnamon and sugar in the air no matter what Poppy’s baked that day. A day goes by and it’s fine, but when a few days pass, there’s this empty feeling, this restlessness that’s not unlike what she’s come to call her insomnia. But instead of needing to move to get it out, she itches to talk, or be talked at — to just spend time in Poppy’s presence. She wonders if Poppy feels the same. or: Minnie’s not trying to grieve, and she’s not trying to befriend the new Hogwarts matron. But neither of these are things that she can prevent, and maybe that’s ok.

🍯 🍰 New Fic Alert!! 🍰 🍯

This is such a tender and sweet read, the relationships in this are beautiful; and what a tasty looking cake! Definitely one to try!

[hprecipe-recfest]

hello! when exactly is the posting deadline? is it end of day on may 30th or end of day on may 31st? and which time zone? thaaaank yooouu 🥲

Hello chef!

The official posting deadline is the end of the day May 31st. We won't post the recipe book until it is 1st of June everywhere.

That being said, we would rather you presented a dish you were truly happy, so if you need to post late to the collection, that's fine and we can add it to the recipe book after, as a reblog.

Let us know if we can help in any way and we can't wait to see your work.

♥️HP Executive Chefs

[hprecipe-recfest]

Thank you @friendlyneighborhoodtrickster, excellent tips chef!

'- yeast that's just getting started (especially the dry one) can't handle it if you're adding the required oil of the recipe to it too early. Consider instead to let it get started with some water and sugar to get it started properly and then adding it to the rest, once it has developed a nice foam. (If the recipe only uses milk, I'd keep the water at around 1/4 and use 3/4 of the milk)'

'- when baking a yeast dough, wash some dishes directly before beginning to kneat it for the first time. Warming it through like that will help it get started, and actually washing the dishes will give you a good time reference to get the hands actually warmed through'

Devil in the Kitchen

My submission for @hprecipe-recfest! Please enjoy!

"Says I've gotta bake it for twenty minutes again." He frowns, eyes narrowing, the point of his wand scratching at the side of his head through his mess of hair. "What sense does that make? Why would you twice bake a – wait!" He reaches forward, snatching something, a card quickly flinging over his shoulder and fluttering to the floor behind him. "Wrong one. Done with that. Right. It's time for the sweetened condensed milk."

"Gods help Lily Potter," groans Remus, pinching the bridge of his nose between two fingers. James ignores him.

"I don't have condensed milk," bemoans James.

"And we've established you don't even know what it is," states Sirius like an eager puppy, leaning forward on the sofa. "You could use milk."

"Don't use milk!" warns Remus.

"I'm going to use milk!" chimes James excitedly. "We've got loads of it."

Remus whimpers, knees twitching up towards his chest like a frightened child.

"You're going to poison your wife."

"Hush, Moony. You're being dramatic," scolds Sirius, flapping a hand in his direction.

My submission for @hprecipe-recfest - a Drarry oneshot + recipe!

Have These On Me

Harry held his hand up to the door of his patisserie, his fingers and palm hovering over the cool glass as he waited for the frisson of recognition with which the locking and protective wards greeted him. Heat bloomed in his palm, adding to the already gentle warmth of the day. It was going to be hot - even for early June. Gently, as though trying not to wake the sleeping residents above the slumbering shops of Diagon, Harry opened the door, sidling in through the small gap before closing it again, blocking out the chirruping blackbirds - the only sign of life besides himself at that hour. 

Despite knowing he had done it the previous day when closing, Harry sent some cleaning charms at the tables and another at the windows to ensure they were both crumb and smudge free. He ducked into an apron and wrapped the ties around himself, though it would do little to protect the black t-shirt once he got into the swing of preparing the day’s goods. With a happy sigh, Harry pulled a huge bag of Canadian bread flour from the bottom shelf and began.

This is a lovely, steamy little read. We didn't know just how much we needed Baker Harry in our lives until just now. The recipe sounds absolutely delicious too and I will definitely be trying it out. Thanks for sharing it with us!

My fic for the @hprecipe-recfest is up!! you can find it here!!

it is about love and loss and lemon cake, and I really hope you enjoy

above all it is an ode to my late uncle, who gave me the recipe, and who passed away mere days after I signed up to the fic with his cake in mind. I love and miss him every day, and his lemon cake is truly a thing of wonder.

Are you really couple cooking with wine if the bottle, the next bottle and half the box the wine came in isn't empty by the end of it, after only needing 150ml for the recipe? my piece for the @hprecipe-recfest. Thank you so much for hosting, this was so much fun to do :) Recipe is below the cut also featuring a live demonstration of me playing ship of Theseus with it

Tartiflette (For 6 people) the * marks stuff you can easily replace with something else see end of recipe for that

Recipe takes about: 50-60 minutes in total - 30-40 min in preparation, 20min in baking You'll need: 900g potatos (hard boiling) 400g bacon* 5 shalotts* 2 gloves of garlic salt and pepper 150ml wine (white, dry)* 1 Reblochon (400g-500g)* how to prepare: Wash the potatos and cook them without peeling them first until completely cooked (~20 minutes). While the potatos are on the stove, dice bacon, garlic and onions and fry all with a bit of oil on medium heat until everything is cooked. Once the potatos are finished peel them and slice them finely.* Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F. Save yourself a headache later and oil the baking pan. For the next steps it helps if you know how salty your bacon is! Put half of the potato slices into the pan and salt and pepper it. Then put half of the onion, bacon, garlic mix down, salt and pepper that too. Repeat with the other halves, so you have 4 layers in total. Pour your wine over the layers and slice your cheese so it can cover the entire casserole while melting. Put it onto the middle level of your oven and bake for 20 minutes. Note: If you have leftovers you can just freeze them and reheat them in the oven. (personally wouldn't recommend microwave it gives the soft cheese a funny bytaste) Alteration suggestions: bacon: if you don't eat pork just use chicken or beef optimal would be an air dried one but really it's whatever, personally I use this recipe to use up kinda dry leftovers shallots: just use whatever onion is in season wine: also alcoholic: if you already have an open white wine honestly just use that one up if it's a dessert one just add a bit of vinegar if you want the tardness to be strong but otherwise you'll be fine non-alcoholic: use veggie stock with a bit of vinegar instead the recipe needs some sourness that'd otherwise come from the wine so I wouldn't recommend using only stock Reblochon: you need a camenbert-like soft cheese if you don't like spicy ones use a mild one, if you have leftovers use these If you have sensory issues or the potatos you have shouldn't be boiled in the skin just peel them before cooking honestly. You'll lose some of the earthy taste the recipe is going for but it's a pretty subplimental taste here.
