While fighting off one of the members of the cult the Lambs of Dalamund I found a recipe for Applewhite Juice, a drink the cultists will make and drink to prepare their spirit for the arrival of Dalamund. The toxic dye added in helps them to rid themselves of their physical form.

Applewhite Juice
Ingrediants:
5 Faerie Apples
1 All-purpose white dye

Within 30 seconds of drinking the juice your spirit will be separated from your physical body.

Qiqirn Almond Macaroons
• 1 cup of almonds
• 1 chicken egg
• 2 cups maple sugar
• ½ cup sunset wheat flour
• ⅓ cup vanilla beans
• 1 piece of bubble chocolate
• 1 rolanberry

I have infiltrated the qiqirn secret network to obtain this special recipe for almond macaroons.



This is a fun and easy recipe to make, with a lot of room for personal creativity. You have the choice of finely chopping the almonds or slicing them into halves, or a little bit of both! Once you have done that, combine with the maple sugar, egg, flour, and vanilla beans. Make sure you do this right after chopping the almonds to attain the most flavor from that lovely almond oil. Mix, mix, mix it up until you get a smooth, dry batter to work with



Roll the batter into little balls and cook with a fire shard until the cookies get a nice color to them. Or if you really want to make your cookies authentic… My reconnaissance has indicated that the qiqirn have taken to the adorable habit of shaping the cookies in the shape of themselves. Perhaps it has derived from the popular black mage shaped ginger cookies? I digress; here is where you will use that bubble chocolate and rolanberry. Cut two small pieces of chocolate for the eyes and a tiny piece of rolanbery for the nose. Finally, heat up the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over to make the qiqirn hood.



From careful observation, I have determined that these are a favorite snack amongst everyone’s favorite treasoor-seekers. I guarantee these cookies will calm a nervous qiqirn and coax it out of hiding with a delectable scent, causing you to be met with a pair of heart-melting bright eyes and an irrefutable duo of pink nose and whiskers. This is a great chance to ask about the latest rumoors regarding shinies and clink-clink.

Walnut-crusted Buffalo Sirloin with Aether-infused Rolanberry Sauce

This quick-and-easy recipe is great for first-time culinarians, making it perfect for getting the kids to help out with the cooking.

Ingredients

3 lbs. buffalo sirloin
4 cups fresh rolanberries
1 1/2 cups finely chopped Gridanian walnuts
1 cup mineral water
1/2 cup chopped shriekshrooms
3 tbsp. 100% organic clove oil

(Serves 6)

Preparing the Aether-infused Rolanberry Sauce

1. Obtain a large bowl with a warm aetheric energy. For this recipe, we highly recommend the Bowl of Embers.

• If using the Bowl of Embers, slaying Ifrit beforehand is an option but is not required. To slay Ifrit, simply use a sharp knife to dice Ifrit into small cubes.
  
• If preparing at home, you can achieve the same effect by leaving 3 fire clusters uncovered in a large bowl for 5-7 minutes. Note that doing so may generate mildly uncomfortable heat of up to 680 °C, so avoid overheating by opening a small window.

2. In the heated bowl, combine the rolanberries, mineral water, and desert saffron. Gently persuade a wild boar into stomping into the mixture until well blended. Set aside and let cool.

Preparing the Walnut Coating

3. In a large skillet, sauté the shriekshrooms for 2 minutes or until soft. Avoid overcooking as this may activate its natural toxins and release it into the atmosphere, killing millions.

4. Combine the shriekshrooms, Gridanian walnuts, and clove oil in a dodecahedral bowl to prevent mycoprotein aggregation (a choking hazard). Set aside.

Putting Everything Together

5. Dip the buffalo strips in the walnut mixture until evenly coated.

6. Cook the coated buffalo strips in a shallow skillet until cooked through. To test for doneness, simply consume a small piece. If you experience no negative physical reactions or death, the meat is ready to be served.

7. Arrange the buffalo strips diagonally along a clean macuahuitl. Place the bowl of aether-infused rolanberry sauce in the center of the macuahuitl and serve immediately. (If a macuahuitl is unavailable at the time of preparation, discard all prepared food immediately and repeat steps 1-6 with a macuahuitl prepared.)

Suggested wine pairing: Sour Red

Ul'dahn Baklava
Chopped nuts bathed in the sweetness of honey and cinnamon, held between thin layers of dough. The traditional dessert of the Dunesfolk, usually prepared for birthday celebrations and marriage festivals. Many chefs who specialize in this dish are in fierce competition, often insinuating that their rivals use poor quality ingredients and inauthentic recipes.

So well-known is this confectionery that it has its own little turn of phrase: when speaking of a gluttonous or impulsive person, one might say they "have baklava with breakfast."

Ul'dahn Baklava (4)
1 Sack of Sunset Wheat Flour
1 Gridanian Walnut
1 Handful of Almonds
1 Pot of Honey
1 Stick of Cinnamon
1 Sprig of Cloves

So familiar... A glimpse of an age long passed...

He tries to remember it all every day: that world he once knew, the life he once lived. Fragments come to him from time to time. The colors of fireworks exploding over a great tree. The sound of savage winds sweeping over the desert. The smell of rain falling in the heart of a thick jungle. The feel of fibers under his fingertips as he weaves a beautiful body piece made of white and gold cloths. But in the end, he can only glimpse it.

Until one day, when he decides to capture the essence of each fragment as he journeys, and after what feels like a lifetime of wandering, he brings together those captured components and tries again to create something magical, something beautiful.

He takes a sip of his creation, and for a moment, he remembers it all...

The lush jungles of Kazham and its sweet pineapples. The gothic peaks of San d'Oria and its tart grapes. The sweeping serenity of the Lufaise Meadows and the apples that grew upon wild trees there. The grandeur of Windurst and its plethora of oranges. The sugary air of the Rolanberry Fields and the berries for which they were named. The cacophony of Bastok and the juicy pears sold within the travel gear shop in the Port.

He remembers his friends, his rivals, his enemies. He remembers battles fought, lives lost, and sacrifices made as the world was saved. He remembers the journey. Then, it all begins to slip away again as the taste of the drink fades from his lips. He sees that he is not under the canopy of Windurst but in Gridania, and though he embraces the future promised to him on Eorzea, he wants just one more moment in that other realm, and so he takes another sip...

This recipe was shared with me by a delightful lalafell during my time serving in the kitchens of the Ashcrown Consortium. It's a simple dessert that was originally created by the ladies of Dravania; they would serve this dessert to their Knights before long nights on Guard. The spices were added to warm the body and ward off colds since the weather could be quite unforgiving during the winter season!
Now we make it as a warming dessert during the winter months and pair it with the finest spices that the Consortium could procure~




Dravanian Baked Custard

3 Chicken Eggs
1 can of Aldgoat Milk
1 pot of honey
1 nutmeg
1 stick of cinnamon
3 Fire Shards
1 earth shard

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1) Crack the eggs into a saucepan and beat well over a low heat, add the milk and honey slowly and continue to whisk.

2) Keep whisking til the custard come to a simmer, it should start to thicken by now -- Test this by dipping a metal spoon into the mixture, if it coats the back of it, then it's ready to be baked!

3) Pour the custard into a ramekin and sprinkle the top with the cinnamon and nutmeg, then place the ramekin in a water-bath and then finally put the bath and ramekin into the oven. (The water bath will prevent the custard from cracking as it bakes!)

4) Bake the custard for 35 minutes with 3 fire shards and 1 earth shard.

5) Once ready, the custard should be fully set (It will have the same consistency of a Rolanberry gelatin dessert!), please allow the custard to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

I forgot to upload the screenshot to my blog, so here is the link to it X3
