Hi there,
I recently agreed to review “The Official Fablehaven Cookbook,” and I am so happy I did. This cookbook is an absolute delight.
I was unfamiliar with this wildly popular series of books. But after doing some investigating, I became enchanted.
The book centers around a secret sanctuary known as Fablehaven, owned by the main character’s grandparents. Fablehaven shelters mystical creatures on the brink of extinction. Within its hidden confines lies a stronghold of pure magic, an enchanting haven teeming with wonder and excitement.
The cooking magic happens at night when magical elf-like characters named Brownies, come to the kitchen and create recipes from disparate ingredients left out by the characters in the book.
This book starts with a delightful story, introducing the reader to the very engaging Fablehaven characters. Then, it gives the reader easy-to-make and fun recipes accompanied by snippets of stories and beautiful photographs. The section alone on Halloween Treats makes purchasing the book worth the investment.
Fablehaven is a captivating fantasy story and a perfect Halloween present for young readers. Its enchanting and suspenseful plot will keep them hooked and eager for more. With its mystical creatures, adventures, and thrilling challenges, Fablehaven will ignite their imagination and leave them wanting to explore the rest of the series. Additionally, it can be a great opportunity for a kitchen cooking project inspired by the fantastical world of Fablehaven, adding an interactive and creative element to their reading experience.
I highly recommend buying this book. I know that I will be buying it for my granddaughter and having lots of fun cooking up the magical recipes. Now, if I can just entice a Brownie to come to my kitchen……

This sounds like a great book Bernie!
It is an enjoyable book and filled with very easy-to-make recipes. I never heard of the series but I sure do like the idea of the “brownies” who come in and cook while I am asleep.
Sold!
This is new to me – how did you discover it?
I occasionally do free reviews for NetGalley. I am always on the lookout for books involving cooking for children.
this book looks so cute! I have a few cookbooks for children – always fun!
Thanks for stopping by, Sherry. I like those type of cookbooks, also. This one really tickled me.
I just LOVE this! What a fun idea, and so clever to have the Brownies demonstrating such creativity with random ingredients. Do you think there are Brownies that sneak in to wash the dishes, too? 😉
If there are, I am setting up a lure to entice one to my kitchen.
Looks like a fun book! 🙂
I love this! What a perfect book for kids, thank you for sharing it Bernadette!
My pleasure.
