As a child who grew up in Anaheim, California, Ashley Craft could recite the Star Tours ride by heart, navigate the Park without a map, and fell asleep to the sound of Disneyland fireworks each night in her bedroom. After two internships at Walt Disney World and many, many more visits to the Disney Parks, Ashley is now one of the leading experts of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Her popular blog, Ashley Crafted, is best known for featuring recipes inspired by Disney Park foods to help people recreate that Disney magic right in their own kitchens. Today, Ashley lives with her husband, Danny, and three kids, Elliot, Hazel, and Clifford (and kittens Figaro and Strider)...but she still makes time to visit the Mouse.

"This book brings the magic of Universal home to you. Enjoying
these delicious recipes makes you feel like you're at the parks
without leaving the comfort of your home. We can't wait to host a
party for our friends and surprise them with their favorite park
foods and drinks."

"I love all the included backstory about the parks. The food
choices are so good; I didn't even know some of them existed! It
makes me want to go back to Universal and try them all. I also love
the Essential Equipment section-so helpful!"

"Whether you're a fan of the Universal theme parks or just their
fantastic properties-from Harry Potter to Minions, The Simpsons to
Dr. Seuss-this cookbook is the most delicious way to bring
Universal magic into your home. No family movie night,
character-inspired play, or themed birthday party is complete
without Ashley's Universal-inspired recipes, which means no family
kitchen is complete without this book. From Korean Corn Dogs to
No-Melt Ice Cream (the perfect Happy Potter party treat), this book
is full of recipes that not only bring major food joy, but feed
your family well too. And that's as magical as it gets!"

"WOW! The Unofficial Universal Theme Parks Cookbook opens up with
short descriptions of each Universal land, and how the food/drinks
available in those lands tie in with the stories surrounding them.
It caused us not only to make a mental note to book a trip to the
parks soon-but in the short term, it made us SO excited to jump in
and try out some of our favorite recipes. Ashley's creative
narrative takes this to a whimsical yet informative level, and her
recipes are straightforward and easy to follow (even for an
inexperienced cook such as myself!). Re-creating food or drinks you
know and love can be a daunting task, but The Unofficial Universal
Theme Parks Cookbook makes it a breeze. We love being able to
experience the parks at home via some of our favorite dishes out of
Ashley's cookbook!"
* -Kalyn Liesmann from Must Have Magic *
"Ashley has knocked it out of the (theme) park again! The
Unofficial Universal Theme Parks Cookbook is jam-packed with
delicious, easy-to-follow recipes for chefs at every skill level.
It's a must-have for every Universal Studios fan!"
