Nanny Ogg is the embodiment of "living life to the fullest, unbothered while bothering everyone around you".

Her recipes and etiquettes represent her well, and it was a blast to spend a bit of time with the funniest witch on the Discworld.

Hilarious and definitely worth a read if you've enjoyed the witches subset of books from the discworld series and want more.

This book is split into 2 roughly equal sized sections. The first of which comprises of about 30 or so discworld related recipes and the second, which is roughly a very Nanny Ogg-ish guide to life. The explanations included with the recipes and the second section were amusing enough for me to read this cover to cover in a few sittings.

I had a few good laughs from this. The only criticism is that I would have liked to have seen more recipes included as there isn't a huge number of them. The ones included seem fun to try out though if you enjoy cookery.

Леля Ог си е леля Ог.. дори и "редакторите" едвам успяват да я усмирят и да цензурират част от по-пикантните съвети. Разбира се, от всяка вещица има какво да се научи, но тя за разлика от баба Вихронрав например, е и глава на огромно семейство, така че може да се похвали с доста повече опит в... хм, някои сфери на живота.

Смехът е гарантиран, удоволствието също.. за ядивността на рецептите нищо не мога да кажа, защото не съм се престрашила да ги пробвам. Предполагам, че за да се наслади максимално на книжлето обаче, би трябвало човек да е прочел поне няколко книги от серията за вещиците от Света на Диска и да е запознат с основни герои и събития.

ПП: Не мога да скрия разочарованието си, че в раздела за етикецията и по-специално празненствата, не намерих извадки от популярни песни като "Таралежът никогаш не мож го избъзика". Вероятно е била трезва, когато се е занимавала с писане.

A delightful book for Discworld fans. I had a good laugh (too good a laugh to be honest)
