To begin, Andrew made Butterbeer from the Harry Potter books by J K Rowling.

Entré

The first course was French Onion soup, made by Andrew, from the book Julie & Julia by Julie Powell.

Mains

For mains, Andrew made Champandongo with rice and black beans from Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel.

Dessert

The delicious dessert was made by Pam, consisting of Lane cake from To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and Sherbet Lemons referred to in the Harry Potter books by J K Rowling.
