Book Text:

In my time adventuring I
realized that there is one
thing that every expedition
needs, which is a hearty, easy
to cook meal that can be made
while the rest of the camp is
being set up. I found that
baking can be very useful for
this task and have come up
with a few recipes that can
help maintain a semblance of
home in the frigid lands of
Velious.

That all being said, lets get
with the recipes, shall we?
First up, some baked fish:

Crisped Spotted Fish = Gently
massage some acorn oil and
some coarse salt into Velium
Spotted Fish Fillets. Bake at
a medium high heat.




Velious Fish Cakes = Dredge
some Crisped Spotted Fish with
some egg batter and melted
butter. Then coat the fish
with dragon mayonnaise,
spices, and some dried
breadcrumbs.

It is important to partake in
a daily allotment of
vegetables but eating them raw
is simply unappetizing. Here
is how you can spruce up your
vegetables. These are very
useful should any adventurers
in your group be vegetarian:

Baked Velious Roots = Take two
piles of Velium Permeated
Vegetables with some fine salt
and an onion and bake it with
some vegetable oil in a sturdy
oven. Careful, as the heat
tends to react violently with



the Velium.

Velious Gratin (Or as I like
to call it, 'The best damn
dish this side of Kunark')
(Vegetarian warning: This dish
contains bacon) = Take two
portions of your leftovers
from the Baked Velious Roots,
this helps accentuate the
flavor as they have already
been prepared. Then mix two
cups of breadcrumbs with
ground pepper and hot red
peppers. Dredge the roots in
cream, coat with the spice and
breadcrumb mixture, add 1 cup
of mature cheese, and place in
a pan. From here, you can cut
up some cured bacon and
sprinkle it over the top.
Cover the top with another cup
of mature cheese and voila!
You will have a meal fit for



any hearty adventurer.

We move on from the fish and
veggies to something that can
warm even the coldest of
bones. I want to take this
moment to encourage those who
are traversing these lands to
consider a more plant driven
diet, but understand that some
people still crave meat. For
those people, I have included
the following recipes:

Resteat(tm)(Get it? Restless +
Meat? This is clever and you
can't argue with me because
this is my recipe book) =
Season a restless meat slurry
with rock salt, garlic spices,
a cup of sugar, and a clove of
garlic. Form to the desired
shape and bake in an oven. The
resulting meat loaf is what I



like to call "Resteat(tm)",
and now you will too!

To spice up your Resteat(tm)
even further, try this recipe
for Resteat(tm) Mother Hen
Toast = Mix a cup of flour
with some spices. Dredge the
Resteat(tm) in a bowl of milk
with some egg yolks mixed in
and coat the Resteat(tm) with
the flour mixture. Take a pan
and line the bottom with
vegetable oil. Slice up a loaf
of leavened bread and cover
the bottom of the pan with the
bread. Toss in a stick of
butter and use that to baste
the loaf while its in the
oven. The juices from the loaf
will soak into the bread while
it also gets toasted by the
pan. This one is a little
tricky to make as it requires



a lot of skill and attention,
but once completed, you'll
have a delicious meal fit for
anyone who eats meat.

Finally, a mixture of the two!
Try this Velious Surf and Turf
Stew recipe for something easy
to make, and hard to put down!
Take some leftover Resteat(tm)
and some crisped spotted fish
leftovers and put it in a pot.
Chop up an onion, throw in a
hearty helping of baked
velious roots. Flavor with
some natural spices, 1 flask
of water and 1 bottle of red
wine, and let simmer. Once
reduced, add a cup of flour as
a thickening agent. This stew
can be stored and kept with
you on your long trips out in
the wastelands.




I hope these recipes will give
you respite on your cold
nights out in Velious. If you
see Salisbjorne, tell him he
still owes Todrick a drink.
