Whoa. This was, rather unexpectedly, an actual cookbook. There was a good deal of recipes, most of which came from diurse (if you don't understand
, go read equal rites. Just realized it's a play on equal rights. Man, I'm thick. Well, read it and come back.) persons of the disc, like Lord Patrician of Ankh-Morpok Vetinari, who gave a recipe for bread and water, making sure it's not poisoned by means of sacrificing a couple unescessary servants, and the said it was useless, and gave a more complicated form, in three easy parts. There was also a recipe from Commander Vimes of the City Watch, Duke of Ankh-Morpok which seems to have been commandeered by Lady Sybil of Ramkin Hall, along with Informal High Commandress of Anything Vimes is Supposed to be in Charge Of. There was also a most likely highly inaccurate recipe from Cut-Me-Own-Throat-Dibbler's, Lord of Cheap Sausages, for a Sausage-Inna-bun. Some dwarf cooking, slightly different (read traumatizingly inedible)
Also Nanny Ogg's own recipe for a Strawberry Wobbler, originally from a banned book full of suggestive aphrodisiacs, The Joye of Snacks (Joke), which I wish I could get my hands on. There was also a section on etiquette, which included a section on death, with an anecdote on swapsies, a section on marriage, which was... yeah, ... pretty much covers it. And one on royalty, and one on pot pourit, and one on the language of the flowers, mostly censored (

Pratchett's book Maskerade, tells of the Witch Nanny Ogg creating a cookbok who's recipes ignite the passions (Nanny's a bawdy old goat, by the way). I thought this would be a playful recreation of the book in the story, but it's not. It's a collection of new stories and first person tales from the characters of discworld. There were recipes, good english standy-bys that are easy to make.
Cute little, uh, side-dish, if you will. The last fourth thereabouts is a collection of humorous in-character essays by Nanny Ogg.
Sir Terry's Ghost (and inheritors) are milking us and we smile and say "thank you very much"
Good recipes with giggle-inducing intro blurbs to them from Nanny Ogg, plus a very funny section on proper etiquette for all occasions (Nanny's interpretation), from table manners to the appropriate mourning period for your goldfish.
Delightful. Some of the food even appears to be edible.
