Sup guys!
I'm about to prepare a new dinner and I need help with a main dish.
I was thinking something along the lines of:
Potatoes 2/Onion 2/Pork Meat 10/Bouillon cube 1
Feats: Edible(prerequisite for Good-Tasting), Tender, Flavourful, Spicy and Good Tasting
With my avaiable wealth I bought some olive oil, mediterran spices, and obviously a large stainless steel cooker.
What can i do with my last 5 levels? Should I buy some more spices? thanks in advance for the advice.
Edit: Forgot to add the list of books!
- Basic Cooking Handbook
- Kitchen Master Guide
- The Complete (Italian Regional Recipes) Series
That's it!

I think you should splash: 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1.5 tsp cumin, and about 1c olives (preferably the big green kind). Maybe some tomatoes. Definitely add cauliflower toward the end as well. The trickiest bit is the meat. What kind of pork is it? IMO, things like pork loin (those big pork logs you get at the safeway) are not very good for stewing. They make good roasts, though. A shoulder blade roast roast, cut up, is better for stewing. Basically, you want something with a good amount of fat in it, since otherwise it'll end up pretty dry. If you're stewing and you've got a low-fat cut of pork, just make sure you only stew for a small amount of time. Also, don't worry too much about undercooking it, modern pork doesn't need to be well-done, the threat of food-borne trichinosis is not large anymore. You still need to treat it with respect, but a little pink in the center is not bad. If you're feeling like a gestalt build, check this one out: http://ericandchrissysfood.blogspot.com/2008/01/cider-glazed-stuffed-pork-roast.htmlAnd as always, make sure you check the Handy Links: http://www.epicurious.com |

Darn min-maxers.  Put some ice-cream in that dish, that's the only way to get real flavour! |

What's the fun in it if I can't roll the dice and say HAH! 57! Divine nectar baby! And everyone knows ice cream is suboptimal. It's been replaced by the Tome of Desserts, as well as Pizzazilla. Because Pizzazilla wins automatically. |

If your craft check is high enough, do gods show up at your dinner table?

But of course! That's the whole point of hitting such high numbers. And if they like your food, it's a bonus to diplomacy checks to become a god yourself. |
