JustAdd Magic COOKBOOK Book 1+2: MyStery City

My 10 year old LOVES this recipe book!

This cookbook has the printed recipes from the show. (I also purchased the blank recipe journal which only has the decorative cover, shown in the pictures.) The paperback cover is maroon with golden lettering, and printed distress marks to give it an aged look. There are no pictures or decorations within the book, just printed recipes.You can see in the table of contents that the recipes are listed and printed in alphabetical order. There are no page numbers, and the dishes are not categorized into groups (soups, desserts, etc.). You can also see that the recipes included are only from the second half of the alphabet, so you can forget about Brain Boosting Bolognese, Bitter Truth Truffles, Curse-Breaking Candied Stone Fruit and several other key recipes from the show.The recipes are all slightly altered from what you see in the TV series, probably due to copyright issues. I haven't tried making anything yet because I bought it as a Christmas gift, so it's in hiding for another few weeks.There are considerable formatting errors throughout the book, creating confusion and distraction for the user. Some recipes run into each other, sometimes ingredients are out of order, and several pages are left blank between recipes.Overall, I do not recommend buying this book. You're better off pausing the show on your PC and copying the recipe you're interested in cooking, or finding a similar recipe online.

The kids loved it

The book starts at M so you’re missing the first entire half of the book half the pages are blank. Don’t buy this. It is not worth the money.

Sloppy and rushed. The riddles r exchanged.the directions are not right . A lot of pages from the book are left blank. The most common recipes are not in here . And when they write the directions the last number is printed very big.
