Steel yourselves - Nanny Ogg is passing on some of her most interesting recipes and her most refined wisdom.
'Probably the best and certainly the tastiest of the Discworld spin-offs' - The Times
'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.' Nanny Ogg
Nanny Ogg, one of Discworld's most famous witches, is passing on some of her huge collection of tasty and above all interestingrecipes. But in addition to the delights of the 'Strawberry Wobbler' and 'Nobby's Mum's Distressed Pudding', Mrs Ogg imparts her thoughts on social etiquette, life, death, courtship, children and weddings, all in a refined style that should not offend the most delicate of sensibilities. Well, not much...
Jam-packed with recipes favoured (or not!) by the great and good of the Discworld, full of Nanny Ogg's unique wisdom and way with words, and peppered with apoplectic notes from the editor and the publisher, this is a treasure trove of literary, culinary and comic delights.
A must- purchase for any fan of the legendary Sir Terry Pratchett.
*Most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive.

Serious, morally complex, structurally rich and bitterly funny
—— Independent on SundayFierce, garish and frighteningly funny
—— SpectatorAn absolute coup of black comedy
—— Daily TelegraphOne of the most brilliantly sustained and focused pieces of satire I've ever read
—— Douglas AdamsKiller prose...a viciously funny satire that also works as a tongue-in-cheek thriller
—— The Sunday TimesLike being dragged backwards through a briar patch by William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor while Nick Cave howls hosannahs at a blood-black moon
—— Time OutBraiding his plotlines into a taut narrative, Pollock is poised to emerge as a new hero of fans of the American gothic literature
—— MetroIf Pollock's powerful collection Knockemstiff was a punch to the jaw, his follow-up ... feels closer to a mule's kick
—— Publisher’s WeeklySticky, violet and exhilarating - Pollock's southern gothic tale of thrill killers, pervy preachers and vengeance is best read on a long road trip or at a seedy model poolside
—— Eliza Clark, author of PENANCE , Observer, *Summer Reads of 2023*The most extraordinary work of fiction I've read in a long time... If you're looking for a book that's simple and subtle, warmly human and at the same time utterly pitiless in his rendition of the vicissitudes of an ordinary existence, here's one you will read again and again
—— New StatesmanUnquestionably one of the finest novels of the 20th century, its genius lies in its candour and in prose that simmers with subtle intent.
—— Irish TimesThe word-of-mouth hit of the summer. Read it and you’ll see why
—— Daily TelegraphIt’s as if this novel is about all of us: our hopes, disappointments and sorrows… a lesson in values, told with love and awe
—— Bel Mooney , Daily MailA wonderful novel, rich and sombre, a record of pain and less but also of moments of vision and tenderness... flawless
—— Adam Foulds , IndependentThis short-but-striking novel quickly reveals itself to be…crime fiction, yes, but also a subtle and deeply introspective consideration of the inertia of lonely middle-age, its philosophy existentialist in the manner of Jean Paul Sartre, Ingmar Bergman and certain novels of Georges Simenon. The result is a highly complex and accomplished work
—— Billy O'Callaghan , Irish ExaminerIntriguing tale… Solstad expertly navigates the bizarre mind of a clever but lonely man locked in an existentialist nightmare
—— TelegraphThis is no straightforward crime novel…an exploration of guilt, inaction and moral quandaries
—— Nic Bottomley , Bath Life
