I’ll be honest: if there was a Quikspell course for cooking, I’d need it. I’m a total Squib when it comes to making meals – luckily married a wizard in the kitchen. That said, I know that the kitchen is a cornerstone of the house, and you may be better at whipping up meals than I am. Having a magical place to work on those incredible meals is an important part of any home.
