THIS is how you do a cook book!
Nanny Ogg shines with these recipes and honest to goodness you have to give them a try!
(Maybe in your own unique fashion)
Nanny Ogg is the granny we all wish we'd gotten!
Let's strike up a lively rendition of the hedgehog song, whip open the book at random and create something fantastic! (while trying not to snicker too loudly!)

A bit of a laugh. There is an excellent bit where Nanny Ogg describes how to treat Granny Weatherwax, which she says is safe to have in the book cos Granny doesn't like books.

What a laugh! Some of the recipes are questionable... Far too many bananas involved for my taste. The etiquette section is very “useful” and “informative”... If like me you love Nanny Ogg, this is a must read!

I received this book as a gift last year, and I understand it had to actually be shipped from Britain - apparently there is no market in the US for funny cookbooks based on fantasy-fiction characters. Besides me, that is.
Anyway, I read more than halfway through it last year and then misplaced it in a pile of other books, and only re-discovered it this week. Finishing it made a great way to procrastinate this afternoon.
You have to have at least read Terry Pratchett's Discworld series to get the most out of this book since most of the references to the fictional world will make no sense at all if you haven't. Really liking the series is probably a prerequisite too, because a lot (most?) of these recipes are not things one would normally make, except maybe for a Halloween party.
I haven't tried any of the recipes myself, because the major ingredients (flour and so forth) are given in metric weight, and since I measure by volume I don't have a kitchen scale.
Note that yes, it's funny, but not really for kids. Though I think the scattered innuendo will go right over the heads of kids younger than 13.

Ако можех да избирам свят, в който да живея, това щеше да е Света на Диска и, по възможност, щях да направя леля Ог своя приятелка. Първо, защото никак не е зле да познаваш вещица и второ, защото леля Ог е точната вещица, ако имаш нужда от закрила и забава (никой да не казва на баба Вихронрав!)
Като оставим настрана това, че са поднесени като на шега, то спокойно може да се каже, че в книгата всъщност присъстват доста прилични рецепти, които могат да бъдат приготвени от всеки с достатъчно желание да експериментира.
