Nanny Ogg's Cookbook

Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is a book of recipes and wisdom of the Discworld character Nanny Ogg by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs and Tina Hannan. The book covers a whole range of subjects including:

The language of flowers
The correct way to eat
The etiquette of seating
Recipes, some from friends or acquaintances (including Lord Vetinari's famed recipe for bread and water)
Manners in a dwarven banquet
As commented by the editors of this book (fictitious of course) in the front of the book in a series of post-it note memoranda Nanny Ogg stole most of the work in this book from other sources such as the old editions of The Discworld Almanack, Wormolds Steerage, Twurps Peerage and several others. Most (although not all) of the recipes could feasibly be prepared.

Nanny Ogg has also written two other books, the most famous of which, The Joye of Snackes, has been banned and the other book, supposedly of children's stories, has been recalled.
