Summary
This is a compendium of all of my recipes and posts about my Thedas Cuisine Project, which seeks to expand the culinary information on Thedas and the rest of the Dragon Age settings. Wrriten as an in-universe cookbook written by Chef Morean Pieter Black, one of the foremost chefs of Orlais, and a chef often cited for breaking with tradition, and snubbing his nose at most haute-cuisine that the vast majority of Orlais is fascinated with. Edited by Varric Thethras, both for ease of reading, and to cut down on some more of the needless swearing and snark that Chef Black is notorious for.
