What can I say? Anything by Terry Pratchett is pure gold. Don't bother with the likes of J.K. Rowling. The best modern day fantasy creator is Pratchett. Even my second daughters middle name is Pratchett. It's an odd concept but it is a fun read. It's fully illustrated by Paul Kidby one of the greatest fantasy artists of our time. It's a great addition for any Discworld fan or for people who want something a little strange.

This is a fantastic Discworld recipe book and Nanny Ogg almanac of wisdom. I haven't made any of the food yet, it's just fun to read through - I will arrange an authentic 'Discworld Dinner' of one these days though...

Pratchett fans will love this light-hearted volume that combines the best of Nanny Ogg's recipes with some excellent illustrations that bring the Discworld novels to life. A great addition to any collection of Pratchett books, I heartily recommend this book to anyone that likes to cook, and a few that don't!

Nanny Ogg is known for her cookery, and now you too can learn some of her secret recipes. This book is a must have if you are a Terry Pratchett fan, and even if you're not it isn't bad to own either (you just might not appreciate it as much as the fans will). Filled with some awesome illustrations and some pretty good recipes too, you will not be disappointed with this one.
