Hello friends,

As a new capsuleer, I was positively elated when i found the "Cooking with Veldspar" holoreel in some old bookshelf. At last, I will be able to taste various dishes from all around the Cluster.

But, unfortunately, all my hopes where shattered to pieces, as I found myself unable to open this document, seemingly due to an aggressive DRM policy that left all available copies as garbled pieces of data.

So, I took it upon myself to embark in a long and dangerous journey to bring back the clorious power of cooking to my fellow capsuleers, travelling to the far reaches of space, in a quest to meet the best cooks of the world of EVE, to start anew this most important cookbook.

The first results of this hard and strenuous work can be viewed here, where you can find all the culinary knowledge that I've been able to compile, with more to come as I continue my gastronomic odyssey.

Be safe on your travel, and may the blessings of cooking bring peace to the world!

I'm always looking for new recipes to hand over to my chef at L'Amore. I'll direct him to your database.

This L'Amore looks like a fine place, too bad I don't know where it is.

If one day you're looking for an interstellar-class chef, I can make myself available, if the pay is right!

Cooking is the best way to have a feeling for another one's culture; recipes where taken litterally from original material, perhaps that you're used to look away at some of the worst aspects of your culture?

The Brutor drinks that many cans of beer?

How do I translate that to vodka and whiskey?

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

Every Minmatar calculator has a built-in alcoolic beverages conversion function that can automatically translate the quantities for a variety of drinks; check your neocom.

Ah well, the way you responded to Luna has just soured my stomach.

We Brutor are more at home dirtying our hands in the engine room (or the kitchen) than exchanging courtesies and eiled allusions in the dining room.

And I find it hard to forget all those years of oppression by Amarrians slavers; and all the death of friends and family during the war.

Especially my nephew/brother-in-law (we are a really close clan, don't ask), who died heroically on the assault of an Amarrian citadel.

But perhaps that you can make me change my mind around a meal and a drink or two....

Ya all don't look like the exotic dancers I used to spend time with in Nakugard. More like classy ladies who won't be impressed if I throw one or two customers out of the window in a fistfight, all the while recounting a colourful war story or two, am I 'right?

If anything, I'm intrigued. But, I don't do the chasing.

You can find me at my establishment, most days.

I'll try to drop by one day or another, after I've finished my gastronomic odyssey.

I might even get a clean shave for you, m'lady!

I don't wait, either. If I see you, I see you. Good luck.

The text is too slanted to prop up a table leg, and it's a cookbook. Impressive achievement.

So-- pilot? A couple notes ...

Amarrian households don't necessarily include slaves, and actually usually don't. (I'm a retainer in such a household.) They also haven't had that kind of patriarchy for ... kind of a while. The last two emperors have been empresses, and the controversies surrounding neither have been related to gender. (There is the occasional lingering whiff of patriarchy, though.)

Achur cuisine varies some depending on where on Achura you are (I think Ms. Ikiryo's idea of what smells or tastes like home is a little different from mine), but the only place where militarism's much of a thing is in the (Caldari-controlled) cities. (We're a client people; we're more demilitarized than militaristic.) I could maybe see these spring rolls as something that really might be served at an officer's mess there.

Really, though, I'd describe these as "fusion food"; you're probably more likely to find them on Jita 4-4 than anywhere on Achura.
