Synopsis "nanny ogg´s cookbook,including recipes, items of antiquarian lore, improving observations of life, good advice for young"

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, here passes on some of her huge collection of tasty and interesting recipes. In addition to such dishes as Nobby's Mum's Distressed Pudding, Mrs. Ogg imparts her thoughts on such matters as life, death, and courtship, 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.

Fue un célebre escritor inglés que desde hace más de tres décadas ha fascinado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo con sus novelas fantásticas, divertidas y satíricas. Su prolífica obra consta de unos setenta libros, que han sido traducidos a casi cuarenta idiomas, y lleva vendidos más de ochenta y cinco millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo.

En 2009 fue nombrado caballero de la Excelentísima Orden del Imperio Británico por sus servicios a la literatura. ¿Su secreto? Nada escapaba a la mirada inteligente, desenfadada e irónica de este autor que, en la mejor tradición satírica británica, subvertía todos los géneros. Además de creador del Mundodisco y de la serie de historias emplazadas allí, es autor de la novela independiente Perillán y coautor, con Stephen Baxter, de la serie La Tierra Larga.
