Sunlight Souffle' Edit

Ingredients Edit

2 1/2 Ounces Cow's Cheese

1 Ounce Butter

1 Ounce Flour

9 Ounces Milk

A Dash of Salt

A Dash of Pepper

A Cupful of Ground Nutmeg

Recipe Edit

Stoke the flames of your oven, and achieve a moderate heat.

Grate the cheese into thin shavings by running a finely honed elven dagger over the block.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks, and beat the whites vigorously until they thicken.

Begin preparation of the signature Sunshine Sauce! Melt the butter, and add in the flour while stirring continuously until well blended. Move the mixture to a smaller flame and begin gently stirring in the milk. It is crucial that you do not stop stirring! Continue to do so for ten minutes, until the mixture thickens. Then, and only then, will the Sunshine Sauce be considered ready.

Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and remove from the flame.

Add in the grated cheese, and then the egg yolks. Stir well until fully blended. Then, gently add in the egg whites with a spoon made of carved hickory wood.

Gently pour the mix into four stonework souffle' dishes, filling each nearly (but not quite!) to the top.

Put the dishes in your moderately hot oven and shut that door! Keep sealed for 25 minutes, or your scrumptious suns will rise, only fall down flat into the oven's abyss.

Remove after 25 minutes, and serve immediately.

Behold, the brilliance of the sun, and the exquisite flavor of the Sunshine Souffle'!

Potage le Magnifique Edit

Ingredients Edit

4 cups chicken broth

4 cups beef broth

2 1/2 ounces butter

1 wooden flagon of flour

1 cup diced carrots

1/2 cup diced onions

Recipe Edit

Stoke the flames of your open-pit fire, and achieve a low heat.

Combine all ingredients into a large soup pot.

Stir vigorously!

Once hot, pour into earthen soup bowls immediately!

Behold, the Gourmet's signature dish - the Potage le Magnifique!

But wait. I know what you're wondering. "That's it? Is that all there is to it? What's the secret of the Gourmet?"

Do you really expect me to give away the secret to my most popular dish? Well guess what? I will! For that secret, my friends, is YOU! That's right, the Potage le Magnifique is delicious, and extraordinary. Using just the simple ingredients listed, you will create a potage that is both hearty and delicious. But in order to make the Potage le Magnifique truly magnificent, it takes the imagination of a truly inspired chef. Do you have that gift?

I have served bowls of the Potage le Magnifique that have caused grown men to weep with with joy. Can you guess what I added? Can you create... magic?

Trivia Edit

A signed copy can be obtained during the Dark Brotherhood quest "Recipe for Disaster."

Despite being listed in the recipe for Sunlight Souffle', eggs are not on the ingredient list for the dish.

In the ingredients for the Sunlight Souffle', "A Cupful of Ground Nutmeg" is listed. Ingesting this much nutmeg would more than likely kill you.

The dish, called Sunlight Souffle', is referred to instead as Sunshine Souffle' at the end of the recipe.
