I accepted the offer in your name; I was sure you would agree. Here is the page he held. AmbroseP.S. He assures me that there are no copies. I would prefer magical assurance on that though...Hollandaise SauceAbjurationIngredients 3 egg yolks; 1/2 drip of catoblepas cream; 1 mug of catoblepas butter, melted, cooled to room temperature; 1 drip lemon juice (or white wine vinegar); 2 sprinkles of sea salt; 1 sprinkle of cayenne pepper, finely ground and sifted.Effects: This sauce provides the eater with protection from energy (cook's choice, but that choice is for the whole batch) for 3 hours when added to a meal.Directions:Beat egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until smooth. Slowly stream melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking to incorporate. Heat on low heat fire for two minutes; whisk. Cast protection from energy on the meal. Craft (cooking) DC 20, Caster Level: Cook's character level.Sauce Cost: 8-10 sp plus the cost of the cateblepas cream and butter.Cook's Note: The catoblepas butter and cream is expensive but worth every copper, as the taste with cow's milk and butter is flat and uninspired. A local monastery herds the beasts and makes the butter. The cream cost extra as they do not usually sell the cream because it tastes bittersweet. Made with white wine vinegar, the sauce is not as robust a taste but it does have a bit of a bite that some people love.Cockatrice Eggs BenedictAbjuration, Conjuration (healing), and TransmutationIngredients: 2 cockatrice eggs, 1 loaf of enchanted elven waybread, 1 mug hollandaise sauce, 1 lb. hickory-smoked dire boar blade steak, 1 yellow onion (coarsely chopped), 3 sweet peppers (finely chopped); a dozen mustard seeds, finely ground and sifted; a sprinkle of sea salt.Serves: 7Effects: In addition to the normal effects of enchanted elven waybread, ambrosia (haste duration increased to 2 minutes), and hollandaise sauce; this meal gives those that eat it immunity to petrification for a day (24 hours). Time to Eat: 1/2 hour (counts as 3 meals)Directions:Crack the cockatrice eggs into boiling water, cover and steam for 10 minutes over a high heat fire. Slice enchanted elven waybread into two slices. Toast lightly over an oak fire in a drip of dire boar grease. Sear the hickory-smoked dire boar blade steak with onions and sweet peppers in a dollop of dire boar grease. Cut steak in half, and place on the two slices of toasted enchanted elven waybread. Scoop eggs, peppers, and onions onto the dire boar steaks, add hollandaise sauce liberally. Season with mustard powder and sea salt. Cut into wedges and serve piping hot. Craft (cooking) DC 15 Caster Level: cook's character level, Meal Cost: 1,506 gp plus the cost of the non-enchanted rare ingredients (cockatrice eggs, dire boar blade steak) and hollandaise sauce, wt. 12 lbs.Cook's Note: This meal is still tasty without the spell, but the king deserves only the best. It is also possible to use normal elven waybread, but to me, the flavor becomes slightly musty.</blockquote>
