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



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.

"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!

Stuffed Barbecue Crab

This is a recipe that is very near and dear to my heart, this recipe was passed to me from a magnificent master culinarian, my grand-miqo’te. Each and every one of my summers would be spent in La Noscea with her; we would make these stuffed bar-be-cue crabs from supplies we would gather ourselves, traveling great distances across Eorzea. Each time I take a bite of this divine dish it is as if I am instantly teleported back in time to our frequented picnic spot on South Bloodshore Beach; I can taste its spicy, yet sweet flavor on my palate just reminiscing about it. Well, enough about me, onto the recipe!



Ingredients
3 river crab
2 sunfish
1 sprig of highland parsley
1 sun lemon
1 pinch of Black Pepper
1 bottle of olive oil
1 pot of honey
1 dried dragon pepper*

* This is a recipe that must be prepared with the utmost precaution. When handling the Dragon Pepper, even the most experienced culinarians must make sure they do not make contact with the actual pepper, always use gloves!

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a medium saucepan combine ½ bottle of olive oil and the honey, apply to a carefully low heat.
3. As the previous two ingredients are slowly infusing, carefully deseed the dragon pepper. Take the hull of the pepper and about 1/4th of the seeds and grind finely.
(For the brave of heart who want more of a kick out of their barbecue sauce, add more seeds accordingly.)
4. Combine the dragon pepper powder into the saucepan with the olive oil and honey fusion, stirring rapidly to ensure an even mixture.
5. Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat and place in a safe place to cool as the remainder of the course is being prepared.
6. Place the river crab and sunfish in a large baking dish.
7. Lightly sprits sun lemon juice over these two ingredients and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
8. Upon removing from oven, carefully remove all meat from the river crabs and sunfish.
(It is very important to not damage the river crab shells because the mixture will be placed back inside of the crabs.)
9. Combine river crab and sunfish meat in a medium mixing bowl along with the highland parsley, black pepper, and some sun lemon zest. Stir until the mixture has been thoroughly mixed.
10. Divide this mixture into 3 parts and stuff the mixture back into the river crab shells.
11. Drizzle the barbecue mixture on the tops of the river crab shells and place them on the grill.
12. Enjoy!
Produces 3 servings.
