Branded Picadillo

"Down from the Asbrand Hills, Melchar returned with a gem. Although only a fledgling chef, this family recipe from the Asbrand is just as beneficial for the eyes as it is hardy.... Who knew!"

Sautéed chopped bits of buffalo sirloin with tomato sauce and various seasons and spices, served over rice. The top is then lightly charred with the fire shards to give it a crunchy outer layer. The combination of spices encourage muscle growth and enhance alertness. If your mouth was on fire... wouldn't you pay attention a little bit more?

EXP +3%, Atk Pwr +15% (Max: 30), Acc +30% (Max: 84)

Ingredients:

• 1x Sticky Rice
• 1x Buffalo Sirloin
• 1x Garlean Garlic
• 1x Tomato Sauce
• 1x Dragon Pepper
• 1x Table Salt
• 3x Fire Crystal
• 3x Fire Shard
• 1x Wind Shard

As seen above, Sterne was given the task of cooking Melchar's family recipe. "Perfect..." was heard moments before his heart gave out from the spice. No one could have guessed that it would be Sterne to fall to the heat of a Roegadyn…

Toast briefly and eat quickly... or it might eat you first!

At first glance, an aspiring student of the culinary arts would jump at the thought: that they might have a chance to put forth their own talents towards a potentially accepted recipe all of Eorzea might come to taste. But wait! Humor?! Since when are a cook's aspirations and dreams a source of comedy and amusement for others?

But no matter! A chance is a chance and a true chef must seize the opportunity! But what is this? As if struck by lightning inspiration arises from past tragedy!

Such as humor elicits laughter from the masses, so does the ill-willed vengeance fueled by one's rancor for past injustice... and what better revenge than to dine on thy enemy!

Of course for this culinarian only one love-hate relationship could fuel the fire for such a meal: Raptors. Oh, how many times one's gut would be 'whomped' by the flailing tail or appetite singed by a fiery breath. But no matter, for now our crystals sear their shanks!

Said shank to the fire and cooked through, the meat is then pulled and chilled while a ring of victory is prepared by way of lettuce and onion. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold, but who is to say that retribution can't be enjoyed in warm comforts? In the middle of the dish is placed a bowl, soon to be filled with the soothing heat of popoto soup; the silky blend prepared with the freshest of popotos, rich chicken broth and a mix of salted butter and creamy aldgoat milk. Once the centerpiece is complete, the frigid villain is decorated upon the green hills of victory which our salad creates and sprinkled with dark vinegar to make it truly a bitter-sweet delight.

And at last: twisted humor blended with aspiring culinary grace. I present to you, Eorzea, my Ravishing Raptor Reprisal!

Cooking is no easy task when it comes to pleasing Hobriaut! So today I will make his Favorite dessert so he can smile again!!!

To make Hobriaut's favorite Rolanberry Dorayaki we will need!:

3 Chicken Eggs
2/3 cups of Maple Sugar
1 tbsp Maple Syrup
1 1/2 cups of Rye Flour
2/3 cup Mineral Water
1 tbsp of Olive Oil
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup of Rolanberry

1) Beat the chicken eggs, maple sugar and maple syrup until it turns almost white.

2) Add 2/3 cup Mineral Water to the flour until your batter becomes smooth.

3) Heat a griddle and wipe with a paper towel dipped in Olive oil. Pour one tablespoon of batter at a time, carefully and slowly, so that you have mini pancakes about 3 inches in diameter. Be sure to turn the pancakes only once, and cook them until they are golden in color. Let cool.

4) Make a paste out of the Rolanberry then put a heaping teaspoon of Rolanberry paste in the center of one pancake. Cover with another pancake. They should look like yummy Pillows!

5) Itadakimasu!

This treat will surely put a smile on Hobriaut's face as well as anyone who's having a tough or sad day! Good luck in the kitchen!
