Nanny Ogg's Cookbook
Nanny Ogg's Cookbook | Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs, Tina Hannan
24 posts | 13 read | 10 to read
'They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach which just goes to show they're as confused about anatomy as they gen'rally are about everything else, unless they're talking about instructions on how to stab him, in which case a better way is up and under the ribcage. Anyway, we do not live in a perfect world and it is foresighted and useful for a young woman to become proficient in those arts which will keep a weak-willed man from straying. Learning to cook is also useful.' Nanny Ogg, one of Discworld's most famous witches, is passing on some of her huge collection of tasty and above all interesting recipes, since everyone else is doing it. But in addition to the delights of the Strawberry Wobbler and Nobby's Mum's Distressed Pudding, Mrs Ogg imparts her thoughts on life, death, etiquette ('If you go to other people's funerals they'll be sure to come to yours'), courtship, children and weddings, all in a refined style that should not offend the most delicate of sensibilities. Well, not much. Most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive. Nanny Ogg Gratefully Ackowledges the Assistance in this Literary Argosy of: Mr Terry Pratchett, Mr Stephen Briggs, Mlle Tina Hannan and Master Paul Kidby.

I‘d love to see any kind of fandom related cookbook. It would show we have at least two things in common. A strong interest in cooking, and a passion for our fandoms, even if we don‘t share specific interests.

#SundayFunday We‘ve finally started to get snow, so I hope you‘re staying warm today, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

vonnie862 I love Fandom cookbooks! 5mo
Nelnjali Oh, that's a fun idea. I already have a partner, but when I was dating, fandom cookbooks would have definitely gotten my attention. I love to cook and would love the common interest. My partner and I actually first bonded over books and our mutual love of many of the same video games. :) 5mo
BookmarkTavern @Nelnjali That‘s very sweet! 💕 5mo

I got to admit, a lot of these recipes are a little intimidating, but this one was real tasty. 😋 I love all the little illustrations so much.

Oh Nanny Ogg, you continue to be my favorite 🥰🤩🥰🤩. Or one of them, anyway. This was a fun and different entry in the #discworld series. And look at those illustrations! Love it.

When you get a cookbook from Nanny Ogg, you won‘t really get it for the recipes... but the double entendre‘s and the fond memories conjured from other Discworld book. The recipes are viable, but IMO, the best is dwarf cookery, as it can be used in combat. Nanny Ogg‘s etiquette advice is the better part of the book. This book makes a great gift for the Pratchett afficionado, but not for others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I read this one earlier this year, it was a fun little read, but I‘m not really a cookbook person so the recipes were lost on me. 3y
khooliha @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I -really- tried to pay attention to the recipes this time (and I may well just be bad at it) but they were lost on me too! 3y
khooliha I haven't tried to make the fish breakfast, alas, because grocery shopping is stressful enough now without me trying to find smoked haddock. Someday! 3y
khooliha Also, my favorite bit was Unlucky Charlie, who feels like he was simply cut from a full novel, possibly for being too long a footnote. 3y
Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @khooliha I am still reading it and am now at Unlucky Charlie. zi gad the same feeling, this seems like Stephen Briggs wanted to make a Discworld companion book and Pratchett said, “here, have these random notes”. He then organized it, got some recipes, and we got a book. Definitely only for Discworld fans. And the recipes are not really the point. 3y
Gezemice @Caroline2 It is a fun little book, but it really is just full of references to existing books. I revommend starting with Mort or Men At Arms for Discworld novices. The Color of Magic is more of a flurry of humorous ideas than a good book. 3y
Caroline2 @Gezemice oh ok! That‘s interesting! Thanks for the heads up! I‘ll check out mort or men at arms instead. 👍 3y
gossamerchild I thought this was pretty fun. There were enough snarky comments in the cookbook section that kept me going 😆😆. The illustrations were incredible! 3y

I am bad at cooking, I always ruin it, so I can't review this book as a cookbook, but as a weird piece of Discworld ephemera? I think it's a lot of fun! It's full of wonderful Paul Kidby art, and I love the touch of metatext with the publisher notes. Just delightful. As for trying a recipe I guess I'll maybe try the Vimes fish breakfast(???)?

I've decided to start this one early, in case I want to take a crack at making something in it. I truly, truly love this cover! This book is also one I bought on vacation in England years and years ago, long before it got published here. I saved up for months to mostly buy extraneous Discworld books because I was a Cool Teen.
#OokBOokClub

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Obviously a very cool teen! 3y
Gezemice Very Cool Teen, indeed. I don‘t really recommend the recipes, though. I would use a real cookbook. 3y

Although I didn‘t enjoy the recipes nearly as much as the sage, practical, and silly advice of Nanny Ogg, this was a fun diversion to dip into now and again as the mood struck for some levity.

Sorry #PratchettPosse ...I found it on Scribd and read out of order 🤪 #OokBOokClub

JazzFeathers That's a pity. What was wrong with the recipes? 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @JazzFeathers They were recipes contributed by residents of Discworld, so some might be ok..nanny‘s were suggestive (if you know the character, you‘ll think, of course), but you also got the librarian‘s recipe for banana (a banana), dwarf bread (but without the rocks), etc. I‘m betting you could cook some/most of them, but I enjoyed the play on characters more than the actual recipes. So for me, more fun than tempting. 4y
khooliha I tried making the Frog Pills from this a million years ago and they didn't set. I'm thinking of trying again when the reread gets around to this book! 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @khooliha You‘re a braver woman than I! 😂. Good luck, let me know how they turn out. 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @JazzFeathers Apparently nothing is wrong with them, I‘m just not that adventurous of a cook! 😂 4y
khooliha @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I was a teen with a dream of giving a fun birthday gift - that'll fill anyone with an Ogg-like bravery! 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @khooliha Dream Big! And yes, try them again...I‘m rooting for you now! I wonder if there is a Nanny Ogg cooking group online somewhere now. 4y
Gezemice The recipes are not the point, really. Even if you really want to try... it is British cooking. There are better cookbooks outthere. 3y

I just finished Nanny Ogg's cookbook while waiting for my food at the gastro pub below my flat. Very fitting I think 😉 I just hope the food can compare with the interesting Lancre fare.
