The Kitchen

Ah, welcome, wanderers, adventurers, and lovers of fine fare! You've entered my domain—the true heart of Old Nan’s Manor. Here, amidst clanging pots, simmering cauldrons, and a pinch of pure culinary genius, is where legends are made. Now, you may have heard a tale or two about my cooking, tales that don’t do my dishes justice, I assure you. Folks across Faerûn speak of my meals with the sort of reverence usually reserved for gods. They say my recipes are as rare as dragonfire and twice as dangerous to the taste buds. But, please, don’t mention that to Old Nan—she’s got her own ideas about who runs this place, and we don’t want to bruise her… fragile ego.

That woman, wise though she may be, wouldn’t know the first thing about creating a truly legendary roast or a stew so hearty it could bring a dwarf to tears. She's always muttering about “arcane energies” and “balance” and all that nonsense, but believe me, it’s not a spell that keeps this Manor alive—it’s flavor. And while Old Nan’s whispering to her tomes, I’m here, hands deep in dough or tossing herbs like a maestro. Just imagine: a kitchen so rich in aromas, even the bravest adventurers sneak an extra sniff when they think I’m not looking.

So, pull up a chair, grab a mug, and prepare yourself for recipes that will warm you to the core, thrill you like a battle cry, and—if you’re lucky—show you the kind of magic only a master like myself can conjure. And remember, next time Old Nan tries to pass off one of her dry scrolls as “essential reading,” just tell her the truth: the only essential magic in this Manor… comes from me.
