Lala Creme Brulee

1 Puk Egg
1 Maple Sugar
1 Sweet Cream
1 Vanilla Bean
1 Firepot

This creamy custard is topped with maple sugar and torched to a crusty candy finish. Lalafel are known to eat their weight in the dessert on holidays and birthdays.

Puk eggs are used because of their larger yolks. These yolks are whisked with half the maple sugar till a ribbony texture. Meanwhile the sweet cream is steeped with vanilla beans and heated til just before boiling. The hot cream is then slowly added to whipped yolks (tempered) so as not to cook the eggs. The resulting mixture is poured into cups and baked. Once cooled (blizzara works pretty well), the custards are topped with more maple sugar. Use a Firepot to quickly caramelize the sugar into a candy-like top.

Enjoy~

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.



"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.



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!

Stressful day of adventuring? Come home and relax to this delicious yet exotic take on a classic dish!

Here is what you'll need:

Berry Vanilla Cheesecake

1 x Blood Currants
1 x Vanilla Beans
1 x Salted Butter
1 x Apkallu Egg
1 x Cream Cheese
1 x Rolanberry Cheese
1 x Pie Dough
1 x Powdered Sugar

Step 1: Get your oven cooking, we're going to need it at about 300 F or (150 C.)

Step 2: When making your Pie Dough, be sure to used the scraped seeds of the Vanilla Beans and combine them together with the Salted Butter to make a good bottom for our cheesecake.

Step 3: Beat our Rolanberry Cheese with the Cream Cheese and Blood Currants to make the mouthwatering base of our cake til it's nice and smooth. Add some more scraped Vanilla Beans, our Apkallu Egg, and a little Powdered Sugar to the mix and continue to beat them together until the texture velvety smooth.

Step 4: Pour the berrylicious mixture into the Pie Dough and leave about 2 inches at the top for the cake to expand as it bakes.

Step 5: Place a baking dish onto the bottom rack of the preheated oven, and fill it halfway with boiling water. Place the cheesecake onto the middle rack, above the pan of boiling water, and bake until a small knife inserted into the middle of the cheesecake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Step 6: Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake cool down inside the oven for 1 hour. After it cools you can decorate the top with a few Blood Currants and Powdered Sugar for a beautiful and tasty presentation. Cover the cheesecake and chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving though!

Chill and sweet, your tongue will be alive with this lovely dish!
