[center][b]Celesta[/b] will be our chef today! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45814239] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/458143/45814239_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] -------- Celesta looks at the ingredients, brainstorming the potential uses and combinations available. Her culinary skills may be lacking, but she certainly has passion, and she really wants to impress the judges today. First, she picks up the Longgrass Stalks, figuring they're a good place to start. She chops them up, and sets them to the side. Celesta glances around, and decides to go for a quick trip to gather ingredients. She comes back with some Frosted Violets, Spinach, and a couple of sweet things. She chops up the rest of the ingredients, adding them together to make a salad of sorts. She adds a little Peppermint as garnish, and crushes and sprinkles the Berry and Nut Trail Bar on top to add a bit of crunch. [center][item=Longgrass Stalk][item=Frosted Violets][item=Spinach][item=Granny Smith Apple] [item=Raspberry][item=Blackberry][item=Peppermint][item=Berry and Nut Trail Bar][/center] Celesta looks at the Leopard Needletooth, debating what to do. Knowing not all of the Beastclan members would be interested in eating it, she wanted to create a separate dish featuring the fish. She added some spices and chopped up the Turnip and Sunkernels she gathered earlier, and pulled out some Glow Mushrooms from home to cook with the fish. Wrapping them up, she placed them in the fire to cook, then started on the Quinoa. [center][item=Leopard Needletooth][item=Wild Mustard][item=Salt] [item=Turnip][item=Glow Mushroom][item=Sunkernel][item=Quinoa][/center] After everything was finished cooking, she set to creating the plates. She placed a scoop of Quinoa on each plate, partitioning the fish amongst them. She sprinkled the cooked nuts and Turnip on top, then gave each plate a side salad.

She had never considered herself to be much of a culinary expert, but surely she could come up with something. Looking at the Leopard Needletooth, inspiration struck her: She would make some cedar smoked leopard needletooth with a hearty salad on the side! It was going to be perfect for Longnecks, and ever so tasty. She began to smoke some Needletooth steaks, making sure to keep an eye on them, and set out to saute some finely chopped longgrass stalks, sweet grass and wild onion in vegetable oil. Once those were taken care of, she set out to make a delicious salad. [center][item=longgrass stalk][item=leopard needletooth][item=cedar logs][item=vegetable oil][item=sweet grass][item=wild onion][/center] Reviewing her left over ingredients, Ichikori realized that she could make a salad containing both fruit and vegetables. She started chopping and adding the strawberries, bananas, and diced watermelon until she felt that there was enough of each. The water lettuce served as the main ingredient of the salad, and Ichikori added lots of it. She added a pinch of salt and small chunks of the berry and nut trail bar. After all the ingredients were added, she tossed the salad and was almost done! [center][item=water lettuce][item=watermelon][item=strawberry] [item=ripe yellow banana][item=berry and nut trail bar][item=salt][/center] Ichikori was obviously going to need some sort of sauce for the salad, so she decided to use the nutritious nectar from blood acorns, blackberries, raspberries, some finely crushed grassland grain and cindermint leaves, as well as some juice from the fruits used in the actual salad. She mixed it all together and tasted it, refining it until she thought it was satisfactory. [center][item=blood acorn][item=grassland grain][item=cindermint][item=blackberry][item=raspberry][/center] Finally, all of the food was finished. Ichikori hoped that the judges liked it... She assembled the plates by first placing a smoked Needletooth steak on each one, followed by sprinkling the sautéed vegetables overtop of it. She placed the somewhat sweet and hearty salad on the side. Next, she poured some of the sauce over the salad, taking care not to add too much. She also added a few peppermint leaves for decoration.

@Venusian Is it alright to post a late submission?

@Sidegrinder

Yes! You can make a recipe based on the day 1 prompt (or any other future prompts) until the end of the festival, on December 9th.

The day two prompt will be up shortly. ^^

[center][b]Day 2: Harpy[/b] [columns][item=Falconclaw Warrior] [item=Stormcloud Harpy] [item=Stonewatch Prince][nextcol][center]Today, we send our greetings to our Harpy allies! You have our sincerest thanks for joining us, whether your journey was near or far. To the matriachs among our midst, I wish to personally thank you for giving us a chance to show our goodwill. To the brave souls who have laid down their masks of war tonight, we thank you for your gesture of trust, and promise we will do all we can to honor it. Our theme ingredients tonight have been chosen in honor of the Harpies, and they are as followed: Golden Milkweed, Crushed Petals, and Stonewatch Scrub! All of these have a unique identity in Harpy culture: they both double as food, and a traditional method of creating pigment. Golden Milkweed especially is sometimes dubbed “edible art”, and we hope to see a similar creativity in your dishes today. We look forward to seeing your creations! As always, we have a large supply of common ingredients to choose from, and more uncommon choices will be provided on request. You may begin cooking… now![/center] [nextcol][item=Condorwing Champion] [item=Chillwind Harpy] [item=Windcarve Fugitive][/columns] [item=Golden Milkweed][item=Crushed Petals][item=Stonewatch Scrub]

The ingredients presented before him are all very [i]colorful[/i] options. He was having a hard time with this. Maybe eating right before he started cooking wasn't a good idea. His hunger wouldn't even inspire him now. Then it hit him. Every dragon would always be hungry for dessert. He starts by taking a micro goat (Not to eat!) and collects the goat milk for his dessert. After gathering a large bowl, he pours his milk in and adds apple juices to his mixture. The apple juices sweeten up the milk [item=micro goat][item=granny smith apple] After completing the milk mixture, he takes another large bowl and fills it with ice and salt. [item=salt][item=ice ice crystal] The ice sits and he portions out the cream into three parts. Taking his special ingredients, he takes the pigments of each of them and mixes it into each cream. Aurum takes three small bags and fills one with each colored cream. [item=golden milkweed][item=crushed petals][item=Stonewatch scrub] He sets his bags into the ice and lets them freeze. While those set, he thinks of what he can add after the cream freezes. [item=strawberry][item=raspberry][item=blackberry] He chops the fruit into small pieces and mixes them up. After the cream is frozen he scoops it out into small bowls. He then sprinkles his fruit medley onto the ice cream scoops. Finally, he stared at his finished piece. A bowl of colorful ice cream dripping with fresh fruit. [/center]

Day 3 is here! [center][b]Day 3: Centaur[/b] [columns][item=Painted Centaur] [item=Plainstrider Bard] [item=Wintermane Bowman] [item=Crystalcourt Ambassador][nextcol][center]Whether you hail from the herds of Dunhoof, Wintermane, Swiftfoot, or simply forge your own path, we thank you for putting aside your weapons to join us today. To our longstanding partners and new allies, we give our thanks to those of the Centaur beastclan for joining our celebration in the name of peace. Our ingredients today have been chosen in honor of the Centaur, and they are as follows: Honey has been used for countless generations as a preservative and a sweetener, but blue honey is special. Produced only by hives of Coral Carpenters, it is regarded as a delicacy among Centaur herds, and often used in important diplomatic dishes. It is a common misconception among dragon clans that Centaurs are purely herbivorous, when in reality they have relied upon dried meats for decades. A correctly stored pack of jerky can last for a year, making it ideal for winter preparations and long hunting trips, and a staple of their diet. Lastly, herds hailing from the land of the Arcanist often trade Blood Acorns with more distant herds and dragon clans. They are often included in centaur trail mixes and rations. Their nutrient rich nectar is especially good for foals, but the nectar's vibrant red color can make it tricky for parents to convince their children to eat it. We once more look forward to seeing how you mix these ingredients with dragon cuisine![/center] [nextcol][item=Wintermane Spearman] [item=Wintermane Minstrel] [item=Centaur Archer] [item=Dapplemane Deceiver][/columns] [item=Blue Honeycomb][item=Dried Jerky][item=Blood Acorn]

She was so excited to cook. She loved alchemy and to her, cooking was just like alchemy. ----- [size=4][b]Day 1[/b][/size] She lifted the cloth off of the ingredients and stared. A trail bar? What could she do with a trail bar? It was already cooked… Actually, all of the ingredients were somewhat dry. She needed something to brighten it up. A salad! Salad was bright! First she put the longgrass stalks aside to soak in a bowl of cold water. Longnecks might chew them for hours but she wanted her meal to be able to be eaten quicken than that. Next she took apart the trail bar until each preserved fruit or nut sat on its own in the bowl. Taking a honeycrisp apple, she mashed it until it was an almost smooth mash and mixed it together with the fruits and nuts from the trail bar. She took honey from a honeycomb fragment and drizzled it on top of the mix. She let it set for half a minute, then mixed it all together again so that the honey was well mixed in. She took the fish, and after carefully removing its sharp teeth, she deep fried it, then set it on paper so the excess oil could drip off. She’d already let the excess water drip off the longgrass stalks onto paper towels and she took them now and arranged them on a long platter, two on each side. In the middle of the platter she set the fish. She moved the salad from the mixing bowl into an eating bowl and stack a long, thin spoon in it. Her dish was ready.

She was an alchemist, not an artist. But, after all, Josef wasn’t either-he was a sorcerer. And if a sorcerer could make art she was sure an alchemist could too! ----- [b][size=4]Day 2[/size][/b] She decided she would make a chip mix. First she pulled apart the stonewatch scrub, leaving each blue petal on its own. She broke off the tapered ends and threw them out, leaving smaller, more conventionally petal-shaped petals. Next she turned to the golden milkweed. This was harder because before dividing the golden petals, like she had done to the stonewatch scrub, she pulled off the pink petals so that they all stuck together in their flower shape still. She managed to get enough in the end, but many fell apart while she was doing it. She boiled a pot of oil and carefully dipped each petal from her collection in until the edges began to brown. Then she placed them on paper bags so that the excess oil would drip away. When that was finished she salted them and put all of the petals except for the pink ones from the golden milkweed in a bowl which she covered with plastic wrap and then shook until they were all mixed up. Lastly, she added the pink petals on top, face-down as they grew on the golden milkweed.

Every day they seemed to get harder. ----- [b][size=4]Day 3[/size][/b] Two sweet things and dried meat. Sparkle wasn’t sure what she could make with that. Then it came to her. She could make a meal-a three-course meal for three ingredients: first course, main course, and dessert! She decided the jerky would be used as her first course. She twisted them into U shapes and set them aside until right before it was time to plate the food. For the main meal she decided to stick to classics and make a grain-based stew. She boiled amaranth grain in water, poured out some of the water, then added roasted dwarf faun meat and boiled everything again. Lastly, she added potato onions and cindershrooms along with salt and blacktongue pepper seeds before boiling everything one last time. For dessert, she took the blood acorns and drained the syrup from them into a pan. She started boiling it and slowly added honey from the blue honeycomb which she had melted down, and some regular honey, too. When everything was mixed together into a sticky syrup she dipped winter’s delight, blackberries, raspberries, seaberries and strawberry halves in it and put them in the fridge to cool. She took the drippings from when she had roasted the dwarf faun meat and, after adding water to thin it slightly, she mixed it with leftover amaranth grain. She covered the jerky with it and put it in the oven to roast. For plating, she put the jerky on a plate, the stew in a bowl, and the fruit she arranged in a diagonal pattern-the strawberry haves breaking up every two berries. Each dish she put on a bultler's platter and covered it before setting them in a row. First course (jerky in gravy): [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/6354.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/8106.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/861.png[/img] Main course (stew): [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/861.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/8106.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/food/46.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/16468.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/1130.png[/img][img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/trinket/180.png[/img] Dessert (syrup-covered berries): [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/1134.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/15118.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/2413.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/32.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/163.png[/img] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/131.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/97.png[/img][img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/food/3544.png[/img]
