Due to a recent lack of squid in Limsa Lominsa's bays, the Culinarian's guild has sent me out to satisfy our patrons' longing for the taste of calamari. I searched the sea high and low to find to no avail, but along the way I discovered a succulent taste wasted on the alchemists' silly ice crystals. Presenting....

Eden's "King Nautilus"!

2lbs fresh Nautilus
1lb Megalocrab Leg meat
1cup Sun Lemon
1cup Prickly Pineapple
1/3 cup Salted Butter

The nautilus is simply flavored with lemon juice, then quickly wood-grilled to tender perfection alongside the crab meat. The nautilus is stuffed with the crab meat and finished with a buttery glaze.
The pineapple can be grilled and served along on the skewers OR used in a Piña colada sauce for dipping!

Nothing gives me more pleasure then to share this with all Ezoreans.

I had gone by the Culinarian's Guild and Prudentia mentioned how I had not been by there too much recently. I explained I had been too busy with vanquishing the evil spreading in our realm and quelling fears of the population. Prudentia then told me that if people ate more food they would feel better. I responded that every one is in a big hurry these days and they need food they can get that is useful and filling, many food offered do not leave a person feeling anything more than full. It was then Prudentia said if I would spend the afternoon making High-Quality base ingredients for her, then she would give the recipe to just the dish. Prudentia told me the recipe is hearty and filling, as well as delicious.

Intrigued by this offer, I proceeded to take time to cook the ingredients Prudentia wanted. After making several high-quality results, I was given the recipe.

Upon hearing my excited reaction, the other chefs came over to see what the commotion was. Each had their own variation of the recipe and shared with me their tastes and advice as well. Finally, after much debate and discussion, the original recipe Prudentia had given me had been altered to one everyone could agree would be tasty.

We began to put together the items needed for this creation. Aentfoet made the soup base, Gerulf grilled the meat, Frailoise chopped the vegetables, Prudentia oversaw everything and Pulmia just stood around and sulked because I used her area to clean the fish and cut them up.

After much time had passed and the evening wore on, our food was finally done! We all sampled this new creation and although we had felt worn down from the activity, after eating the food we had much more vigor and felt very alert and content.

This is the recipe they gave me:

Chankonabe (Guild chef style)

Crystals: 1 Fire, 1 Water

Chicken Stock x 1
Sour Red x 1
Garlean Garlic x 1
Black Truffle x 1
Salt Leek x 1
Chicken Breast x 2
Wahoo x 1
Buffalo Sirloin x 1

The Sultana's Frozen Hot Chocolate

Kukuru Butter
Kukuru Powder
Buffalo Milk
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
La Noscean Orange
Moon Nut
Gold Sand

A favorite of the Sultana of Ul'dah, this extremely decadent dessert reflects the wealth and prestige of it's home of origin. Served at State dinners as a sign of power, and limitless abundance even in the harsh deserts of Thanalan.

1. In your pan, blend together the Buffalo milk, Kukuru powder, Kukuru butter, Nutmeg and Cinnamon. Gently simmer using 1 Fire Crystal, until thoroughly combined, whisking constantly to make frothy.

2. Using 3 Ice Crystals, begin chilling the mixture while still whisking. Do not let it freeze completely.

3. Once your mixture has achieved a thick, batter-like consistency, quickly poor into a chilled glass chalice.

4. Top it off with the zest of an La Noscean Orange and a finely shaved Moon Nut and finish with the signature sprinkle of Gold Sand.

This dish is forbidden by decree from being made by anyone other than the Sultana's personal chefs for fear they would degrade the quality of this royal treat.
