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.
