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!

The Buffalo Bonanza

- 3 lbs. of fresh Buffalo Sirlion
- 103 lbs. of Buffalo Beans
- A pinch Sleeping Powder
- A bottle of Clove Oil
- A pinch Black Pepper
- A pinch Table Salt
- 2 Gal. of Buffalo Milk
- Dragon Peppers
- Aloe
- A Bard

http://static2.finalfantasyxiv.com/a...Qpuy0K8i58.jpg

First, you must procure a fresh slab of Buffalo sirloin. Not just any will do, however! This most prime of cuts must come from a Buffalo with a positive attitude. After all, a happy Buffalo is a tasty Buffalo! And as we all know, nothing brings happiness like a hearty meal in your belly. To achieve this, you're going to need Buffalo Beans. A lot of Buffalo Beans. I'm talking hundreds and hundreds of beans, laced with a powerful sleeping agent.

Bringing down a Buffalo is no easy feat, either, so you may want to bring a friend or seven along for the ride. They come with the added benefit of being your personal pack chocobos to carry all those beans! Once you have located your belligerent behemoth, you're ready to begin the process of making his day a special one. Make sure to approach him slowly, and begin leaving a trail of Buffalo Beans as you lead him to your waiting party of adventurers who are ready to slaughte- ...err, throw the Buffalo a party! (Party hats are optional and will not increase the flavor of the meat.) Your taste buds will thank you later for the effort!

As the sleeping agent kicks in, the guest of honor will happily doze off to sleep and you are free to harvest your main course! Once this most delectably jubilant meat is in your possession, it's time to hurry back to town!

First we will prepare the meat. Take the Sirloin and gently douse it in clove oil. Next, gingerly sprinkle a pinch of both Table Sat and Black Pepper over the meat, making sure to rub it in. Set it over an open flame, and roast it until the meat is dark and tender.

Once your meat is thoroughly cooked, it's time for the masticating festivities to begin! Serve with a side of Buffalo Beans and Dragon Peppers to really bring this meal to life. A healthy mug of Buffalo Milk also goes great with this blissful Buffalo Bonanza. All that's left is to eat your fill to the joyous tune of the Bard you hired just for this celebration!


...And I suggest having Aloe paste on standby for the eager Adventurer that eats one too many Dragon Peppers.

Maestro Sartori's Ogre Pumpkin Pie

AP +10% Max(50) DEF +10% Max(50) STR +10% Max(50) Bravery +10% Max(50)

Ingredients:
1 Ogre Pumpkin
1 Cinnamon
1 Buffalo Milk
1 Sunset Wheat Flour
1 Apkallu Egg
1 Table Salt

Tired of being "one shotted" by those pesky Ogres? Whip up some of this delicious Ogre Pumpkin Pie to give you the strength and bravery to take these guys on!! These ingredients can be found scattered throughout the world of Eorzea. Some of them are very easy to get except the Buffalo Milk and the Apkallu Egg. I would suggest using Sleep on that Great Buffalo when you go to get that milk, be quick about it and you should be okay. The Apkallu egg is very very rare, and comes from the elusive Apkallu bird. I would contact Hiir Noivl for help on this as she is Counting Sheeps Master Chef and I saw her stalking the bird one day hunting for eggs....

"Good Luck Tea"
Synthesis Level: 61-70 (???)
+15% Rare Item Drop Rate

Ingredients
1 Kettle full of Mineral Water
3 Blue Landtrap Leaves
3 Thanalan Tea Leaves
1 Handful of Honey (add as much as desired)
1 Teaspoon of Luck (trust me, you'll need it)
Use Facility: Master's Cookery

Step 1. A good cook always sticks to the recipe, so first assemble the ingredients in the following correct order. Well it doesn't really matter if you do actually...this synthesis is more about luck than being a good cook.
Step 2. After boiling the Mineral Water in your titanium Kettle, toss in the Blue Landtrap Leaves and the Thanalan Tea Leaves, you may or may not need to use your Teaspoon of Luck at this time. It depends on how much durability you have left on the synth, and how much progress you have made.
Step 3. After letting the Kettle sit for 4-23 minutes with the leaves inside, quickly poor the tea into a clay coffee mug by using Rapid Synthesis. This is an extremely important step, if you do not poor the tea fast enough, then it may taste extremely bitter. Now is also a good time to get a Handful of Honey and dump it into your drink, because you’re going to have to wash your hands before the next step.
Step 4. Next let the tea cool down to a desirable drinking temperature, and don't forget, if you used your offhand to cook you may have ended up with multiple cups - bring it to a neighbor! While you're at their house, tell them to come and play FFXIV!
Step 6. Repeat steps 1-4 if you failed the synthesis, this is fairly common because it is almost impossible to make due to how the RNG system works with higher level synthesis. And if you fail multiple times, try using more Standard Synthesis rather than Careful Synthesis or Rapid Synthesis.

Warning. This product has not been tested, and may have side effects including but not limited to: amnesia, staying up late to play FFXIV, getting angry at failing synthesis, and forgetting how to preform simple tasks such as create a list of numbers.

Red Velveteen Cake
1/2 cup Salted Butter
2 whole Apkallu Eggs
2 tbsp (heaping) Kukuru Powder
2 1/4 cup Sunset What Flour
1 1/2 cup Maple Sugar
1/2 tsp Table Salt
1 TBSP Cider Vinegar
2 ounces All-purpose Red Dye
1 cup Buffalo Milk
1 tsp minced Vanilla Beans
1 tsp Natron

Cream the butter and sugar, then add the Apkallu Eggs. Make a paste of the Red Dye and Kukuru Powder, and add it to the mixture. Mix salt into the Sunset Wheat Flour, and add the flour and Buffalo Milk in thirds, alternating. The next part's tricky - Add the natron to the vinegar and HOLD IT OVER THE BOWL, it'll foam up! Then, dump it in.

Bake in two 8-inch round pans at 350° for 20-25 minutes (or 6-8 Standard Synths, your choice)

While the cakes bake, whip together 16 oz. of Cream Cheese, a cup of Maple Sugar, and a teaspoon of minced vanilla bean.

Allow the cakes to cool, then frost! Serve at special occasions!

Phobos' Dodo Salad Sandwich

The use of Dodo Tenderloin makes this classic sandwich a juicier, more tender, and more flavorful than it's chicken counterpart. Not to be confused with the Dodore Salad Sandwich, it's poisonous counterpart.

Recipe:
1 Dodo Tenderloin
1 Table Salt
1 Black Pepper
1 Cider Vinegar
1 Sweet Cream
1 Blood Currants (chopped)
1 Gridanian Walnut (shells removed and chopped)
1 Walnut Bread (sliced, though feel free to slice when preparing the sandwiches)

Makes roughly three servings, though the experienced culinarian could find a way to feed as many as six starving adventurers!

Though the recipe may seem daunting at first, even budding culinarians will have little issues procuring most of the ingredients.

Any culinarian capable of making Grilled Dodo with ease should find this recipe approachable. Though there are more steps, the basic cooking of the Dodo is the same.

In order to make your own, simply grill the Dodo Tenderloin in your favorite skillet as you would with your typical Grilled Dodo. Don't forget to coat the meat in some of your salt and pepper before grilling! Once you've finished cooking the Dodo, simply mix the other ingredients together. Be sure to be careful with the Cider Vinegar and Sweet Cream - too much of one will surely throw the balance of the recipe off! Once you've properly mixed your Dodo Salad, portion it out across three slices of your Walnut Bread, topping each one with a second slice. Congratulations, and enjoy (and share) your delicious sandwich!

I must be going now, Charlys is being rather insistent I help him with something.

Note: I cannot stress enough the dangers of attempting the Dodore Salad Sandwich. My eye is still recovering, and I am lucky that was all I lost.

"Ace Darklight's Dungeon Gumbo"

ingredients:
1 cup sunset wheat flour
1/4 cup olive oil
1 bulb of garlean garlic
2 chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 wild onion
1 dragon pepper's

Add wheat and oil to skillet on a medium flame until a thick copper roux is formed.
Add cut wild onion, galrean garlic, and dragon pepper.
Cook for 3 minutes then bring to a boil
Once boiling add cut chicken breasts to skillet and cook for 20-25 minute.
Once done salt to taste.

Goes great with sticky rice. "Ace Darklight's Dungeon Gumbo" can be a great hit for parties of eight running dungeons all day! Just make sure to bring enough for everyone!!

It appears I neglected to mention which crystals should be used! I would not want my fellow adventurers to suffer any accidents attempting to create my sandwich, so I wanted to be sure to mention the recipe requires:
2 Fire Shards
1 Wind Shard

Apologies if this missing information resulted in the bodily harm of any adventurer. I recommend seeking the nearest White Mage for aid if so.

During my many travels across the lands of Aldenard, I have seen many culinary concoctions, both of the delightful and dubious varieties. But only one truly makes my heart skip a beat when I smell it cooking in the fires of Bismarck, my namesake and home away from home: Maccheroni & Sil’dihic Cheese

To the fledgeling adventurer, such a blend of dairy, grain and spices may seem indulgent, but with the many tastes of the realm, this casserole brings to me a comfort seldom found elsewhere and the background of this dish even further fascinates me.

The pasta has been traditionally formed and dried in the fires of O'Ghomoro, a blend of the succulent eggs produced by Vylbrand' native puks; and the tubed maccheroni is painstakingly stretched, folded and cut to allow an effective medium for the casserole it will become.

The golden aroma and flavor, however, comes from an almost ancient cheese, which has a rich history stretching as far back as the enigmatic origins of the lost city of Sil'dih. This dairy curdled from youngest milk-producing aldgoats has a sharp flavour and an amber tint.

The final step would be to carefully blend these elements together with butter & milk, adding powdered mustard and pepper to taste, and to finally bake under a layer of crumbed wheat flour.

In my adventures, I have only learned of the extensive history of this fine dish from the Ul'dahn Syndicate... and not without first paying a steep bribe.

http://static2.finalfantasyxiv.com/t...4Y_160_160.jpg

"During the 5th umbral era, there was a brief declaration of conflict between then Admiral Xaviere Wolffe of the Barracudas, and the Uldahn Sultanate. Realising that the Lallafel Sultan had particular tastes, Admiral Wolffe conscripted the finest Lominsan chefs, led by the great chef Bismarck, to band together and develop a peace offering, which was a blend of the western fields of Vylbrand, and traditional foods of Thanalan".

...and this maccheroni was the result.

http://static2.finalfantasyxiv.com/t...ik_160_160.jpg

And so, as I continue on my adventure, I shall leave you with this: Grand tastes come from every corner of Aldenard... but you must open your eyes...and your mouth, to experience it all!

...with prayers of survival in this dark era... I bid Adieu... until a new dawn arrives!

Rjain's Bombastic Bomb Bisque

1 cup Buffalo Milk
2 Finger Shrimp
1 Indigo Herring
1 diced Ruby Tomato
1 spoonful of Table Salt
1 spoonful of Black Pepper
1 sprinkle of Bomb Ash (BAM!)

Now I know what you're thinking. What the 'eck is Bomb Ash doing in my food? Well have you tried it? PROBABLY NOT. Throw that stuff in there and your tongue will hit a new level of taste harder than an ogre will knock you on your butt.

I must stress the importance of maintaining safety while cooking this dish. Only the heaviest armour and eye protection is acceptable.

http://static2.finalfantasyxiv.com/a...QqAAOmdujM.png

One slight misstep in preparing the bisque may result in terminal injury that I am not responsible for.

Create stock with the seafood while boiling the milk on the side and mix when heated. Add tomatoes and stir until the temperature is satisfactory. Taste it, then BAM!

I also suggest having a white mage nearby when cooking it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

x1 Table Salt; salt to taste

This recipe originates from The Bismarck Culinarian's Guild in the pirate city of Limsa Lominsa. With sailors making port from every corner of Llymlaen's great seas, the Bismarck has had to adopt a hearty menu of seafaring delights. On one particular day, a mountainous sailor (already four bottles of Sour Red deep) bellowed out his disfavor at only eating fish for his current 6 month voyage. "THERE 'AS TO BE SOME'TIN TO EAT IN THIS GALLEY 'SIDES SALT COD!" exclaimed the salty Sea Wolf. Due to his brash nature, none of the servers of the Bismarck would make landfall anywhere near the Roegadyn.

Overhearing the commotion in the café, a lowly sous chef hailing from the forests of Gridania made her approach to the Pirate. "Excuse me..." she said meekly. The buccaneer leaned over the table and frowned at the Lalafell. "WENCH! Bring me some'tin 'sides this dry fish! Eh? Ye ain't a Wench!" Dismissing her he slammed his bottle on the table. "WENCH! Bring me another Wench!" The young chef-to-be rolled her eyes. "If you'd like to calm down a bit, I'd gladly make you something with some of the ingredients from my homeland. It's sure to be more exotic than the fish you are used to eating."

Fifteen minutes later after throwing together some of her favorite ingredients, the Lalafell brought out her Spicy Popoto Tostadas. The rest of the story is in the history books. The dish is a culinary favorite now not only in Limsa Lominsa, but every major restaurant and frontier camp spanning from Gridania to Ul'Dah. The Chef? You can still find her humbly cooking away for pirates and adventures alike in the Bismarck.

"Poulet façon basquaise"

INGREDIENTS

-Chicken breast
-Tomato sauce (Wild Onion, Ruby Tomato, Garlean Garlic, Midland Basil, Table Salt, Olive Oil)
-Butter
-Black Pepper
-Poivre dragon
-Sun Lemon


A popular dish made from far West of eorza ! Known to be slightly hot on the tongue, the taste is yet very rich and exquisite. the fruity flavor of Ruby tomatoes with a pinch of acidity coming from the Sun lemon complement perfectly the tasty chicken breasts.
The background note in mouth and the final perfume are coming from the remaining taste of the Garlean garlic and Midland basilic.
