CHICKEN nuggets, expelliarmus! A one-day cooking class lets kids exchange wands for whisks to create food inspired by J.K. Rowling. Just in time for the final book in the series and the “Order of the Phoenix” film, the Institute of Culinary Education offers “Harry Potter Kitchen Wizardry” (July 8, ages 11 to 14, $100). Since Rowling didn’t get explicit about edibles, chef instructor Loren Banco used a little creative license.
“Everybody has their own idea of what Butterbeer is, but this is my interpretation,” he says. “Root beer floats.”
Other fanciful foods include “Stoat” Sandwiches, Cockroach Clusters, Snape’s Tasty Scones and Hagrid’s Stew, a beefy blend inspired by Hogwarts’ burly gamekeeper.
