...because I would have been pretty pissed if I had paid for this. Of the recipes in the "cookbook" only a few have any true relevance to the books. I mean "ice cream sundaes"??? Really??Also, a great number are for various kinds of homemade ice cream. No different to what came in the packaging with your ice cream maker.I am guessing the hope was to entice people with a little sample. For me it did quite the opposite. I will be steering quite clear of the full sized version. There was very little creativity in what could have been a cute and cool little cookbook for Harry Potter themed parties. If I want a recipe for ice cream or a hamburger, I certainly would not be looking for one in a Harry Potter themed cookbook just because he ate one once....somewhere in one o the books.What a disappointment.EDIT: Additionally, I want to point out that originally this review was set with the other reviews from the Kindle sampler.  Now they are lumped in with the full cookbook.  The full cookbook may be much better and I really don't think Amazon should have the reviews for both put together.  My version had 10 recipes.  Butterscotch Brew, Butterscotch Brew Ice Cream Soda, Butterscotch Brew Slushies, Double Chocolate Ice Cream Cones, Paddington Burgers, Triple Power Icy Lemon Pops, Chocolate and Raspberry Ice Cream Cones with Chopped Nuts, Pumpkin Juice, Strawberry and Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cones, and Ice Cream Sundaes. 5/10 recipes for ice cream, 1 for a hamburger, and 3 involving "Butterscotch Brew".  Any question why the people who got the sampler aren't happy?
