If you're a fan of the Discworld books, this is a hilarious addition to the canon! Follow along as Nanny Ogg tells you how to cook delicious(?) food and how to follow etiquette among humans, trolls, etc. The recipes have thankfully been modified not to kill you - just remember to not add arsenic to any of them.

I haven't tried any of these recipes but I still go back and read the story portion. So much fun! I keep thinking I will make the strawberry wobbler for a bachelorette party or something, but it hasn't happened yet.

This is an unexpected delight - a cookbook that is hilariously funny. Part of the Discworld universe, Nanny Ogg provides the reader both recipes and etiquette from her unique perspective. I don’t recall laughing out loud while reading a cookbook before. Strongly recommended for Discworld fans.

A lighter version of an otherwise tedious etiquette guide packed with plenty of humor, the sort that I've come to expect from Terry Pratchett

A funny book with some recipes I'm definitely going to try. I liked how there were some famous Discworld characters mentioned in this book, like Vetinari and Rincewind.

Best choice I could have picked for a cookbook to read cover to cover. Fun to read.
