Cookbooks in Harry Potter

It's almost time for the last Harry Potter movie! I'm passing the time until the weekend looking at some of my favorite things about the books. Did you ever notice the titles of the books used in Harry Potter world? I didn't until I reread all of the books last year to get ready for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Some of my favorite book titles are in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Remember when Harry goes home with Ron for the first time? He looks around in wonder at the first wizard home he's ever been inside. The kitchen has a wooden table and chairs and a mantelpiece "stacked three deep" with books like "Charm Your Own Cheese, Enchantment in Baking, and One Minute Feasts-It's Magic!" (p. 34).
Now one of my least favorite chores is that I have to come up with a weekly meal plan and cook it! I would love to bake without heating up the kitchen in this hot, humid weather! How great would it be to forgo sharp cheddar cheese at 2.79 for 8 oz. and just make my own? What I wouldn't give to come home after work and whip up a tasty meal in minutes????
