Introduction to Cooking
Cooking is an especially important profession -- ask any hobbit -- that can take a significant amount of time to master. Every true cook starts with the basics, and this introduction to the fine art of cooking will provide you with everything that you need to become a true master of the pot and pan.
Be careful! You will need to complete the correct recipes and deliver the correct items outlined in this quest.
You will need to execute the cup of spring barley flour and hard biscuit recipes and deliver the hard biscuit. Failing to do so will force you to obtain new raw materials or to restart the quest after a 24-hour delay.
'Well, look at you... I do not often see your folk here, and when I do, I always find it a bit queer. Well, hobbits less so because of the hill.
'Oh, I am sorry, you wish to know more of cooking? It just so happens that there is a fine cook near the oven by the name of Esilia Diggerly. She has offered to teach those new to the profession the basics of the art. Speak with her, and I am certain that she will help you.
'Good day, ${RACE}.'
