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.
