Discworld cookbook question [closed] - Close-up of Beer Bottles on Wood

How useful is the discworld cookbook to people in our world for cooking purposes? In other words do they use real world ingredients? Any notable successes?

I’m mostly curious & I don’t think it’s been covered on this stack before anyway



Best Answer

I took a look at the Amazon page for the book and using Look Inside discovered a number of relatively innocuous recipes. The ingredients are UK-ish (self-raising flour, for example) as are the names (Delight for a pudding and sauce combo, for example.) There is an old-fashioned tone to the dishes I spotted, which were exclusively desserts, though I didn't see all of them because See Inside doesn't show you much.

I didn't see a ton of actual recipes - there are pictures, and pages of text that I didn't read. If you're a Pratchett person (I am) it's delightful. If you're not, you will probably be quite confused. But I don't think any of the confusion will come from the actual recipes themselves.
