Indlæser... Nanny Ogg's Cookbook (1999)af Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs (Forfatter)
![]() Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Interesting recipes and wickedly funny anecdotes with discworld's best. ( ![]() After years of people seeking out her recipes, advice and wisdom, Nanny Ogg has decided to write down much of what she knows, and if others are interested then all the better. Who else would be able to impart the secrets of Nanny Ogg's Perfectly Innocent Porridge with Completely Inoffensive Honey Mixture Which Shouldn't Make Anyone's Wife Laugh, which turns out to be honey. Or who else would you ask to ensure the proper etiquette of a wedding, the answer being plenty of strong drink for a fight to break out at. Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is more than a collection of recipes both disgusting and strange; it is a manual for those times in life where the social rules may elude you. How else would you know who to sit where at your dinner party and what food to avoid with certain guests. It is highly recommended that you not actually try any of these recipes, for while technically edible the taste maybe highly questionable. An amusing and witty collection of recipes and advice on etiquette that is fit only for the Discworld and the odd witch. Med tanke på alla underliga kokböcker man kan hitta är det väl inte att förvåna sig över att det även finns en från Skivvärlden, med Nanna Ogg som föregiven författare. Nej, det är inte den famösa Joye of Snacks, utan en mindre livlig sak kallad Nanny Ogg's cookbook, som förutom recept på saker som »slumpie«, »bananana soup surprise«, »C.M.O.T. Dibbler's sausage inna bun« (i alla fall ett recept som Dibbler själv hävdar han använder) och »Klatchian delight« även innehåller saker som bibliotekariens recept på banan (»Ta en banan«), samt förslag på hur man kan göra något som ser ut som glacerad råtta på pinne (populärt bland dvärgabarn). Detta är dock endast halva boken: andra halvan är Nannas etikettips. Det mesta är för den som är van vid Skivvärlden självklarheter som att man bör bjuda häxor, och vara överseende med trolls ganska små insikter i organisk föda: till skillnad från recepten är det här nästan renodlad komik, med ett undantag, som därmed framstår som desto mer underligt: mellan råd om hur man skall bete sig när en häxa håller dödsfest och hur man skall tilltala andra (artigt, om de har ett vapen. Annars spelar det mindre roll), så förefaller ganska ordinära råd om hur man skall äta kronärtskocka eller hur man spottar ut kärnor ganska underliga – de passar inte Nanna, så man undrar om det är något jäkelskap under eller om man faktiskt bör följa dem. Det är en trevlig, lätt bok. Några recept går troligen att följa, men det är inte därför man skaffar den. Några av etikettråden går möjligen också att följa, men man bör nog tänka sig för först. Nanny Ogg, one of the witches of Discworld, wrote this hilarious volume of recipes and tips on etiquette. The underlying general rule is always be nice to witches because you never know when having one on your side might come in handy. This is a must for any fan of Discworld, but those who haven't read at least a few of the books probably won't get most of the jokes. In addition to being hilarious, it's also filled with fabulous illustrations. The only downside is that I've tried a few of the recipes, and they just illustrate why the British aren't known for their cooking. All recipes (should) come with a health warning and should be taken with a pinch of salt (to taste). ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

'They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach which just goes to show they're as confusedabout anatomy as they generally 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 prefect 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 Brggs, MIle Tina Hannan and Master Paul Kidb .
