"Why can't we use butter, milk and eggs? The depression ended years ago, Issac!"

"Ah, but this is the most excellent method of cake-making-- Do you know what's special about using no eggs, Miria?"

"No, Issac, what's so special about using no eggs?"

"No eggs means we can lick the bowl afterwards! Isn't that wonderful, Miria?"

"So wonderful, Issac!"

The Chief's Gemenon Brown Sugar Buns

Mom wasn't much of a baker and neither was dad--for a couple of mystics, they didn't have much faith or patience, at least when it came to watching dough rise. I get it from somewhere, ha. I'm convinced dad sometimes promised he'd make this bread just to make sure I'd go to sleep waiting out the overnight part.

Since most of the sugar these days is going toward the stims and the stills, it's probably not possible to make them the way they're supposed to be done on Gemenon. I'm probably missing some spices or something. If we ever find nutmeg again, that might be one of the missing ones. But I got enough sugar to make a batch of these for Cally and Nicky right after he started eating solid food, and bribed someone for a packet of yeast and an oven. And it turned out okay, even though Cally started crying.

When Peony IX first took up residence in the palace in Grand Chokmah, the head chef inquired after his taste in food; it wouldn't do, of course, to displease a new emperor. Peony thought about it for a few seconds and then said, "Something tropical -- and no rappig," before utterly refusing to elaborate further.

The rappig part is easy enough to understand, given his majesty's taste in pets, but there was a good deal of speculation among the palace staff over whether his majesty was happy to be free of the frozen north of his youth, or if food from home would have brought back too many painful memories.

In any case, the chef produced this recipe to serve at breakfast, with spiced tea.

Sent to me by an old acquaintance, I must admit, I have never made these per the actual recipe. I've ony made a modified form, with a great deal less sugar and butter, fewer eggs, and the cream to milk ratio reversed. But they were still damn good even so, and I can only imagine what the actual recipe tastes like.


Homunculi have no need to eat (food), but this is exactly what Lust would prepare if given the chance. Gluttony, of course, loved it (and her for it). And, yes, I know there is no France.

It's amazing, the number of things you can get processed and ready-made and instant in Midgar. How much fancy stuff you can make just by adding (filtered, or better yet bottled) water to something out of a box.

Tifa's never liked any of it. Sure, you might be able to make caramel-swirled glazed brownies and frothy pudding with flavor names that are hard to pronounce just like that, but it feels...cheap, somehow. Her versions, the recipes she brought with her from Nibelheim, are plainer and less fancy, and they do take more work, but she swears up and down they taste better, too.

Don't forget to say grace.

(Crossover 201X Firo, that is.)

Firo's never been a huge fan of cooking, but he's had a long time to pick it up. And it became a lot easier when you could pick up a lot of the ingredients pre-made.

This soup is somewhat complicated, but it isn't terribly hard to make. More importantly, it's hearty, keeps well, and contains all the major food groups - so even if you're living by yourself, you can make a lot and then eat it a few times over the course of the week when you're too busy to cook something else.

Makes 4-6 bowls, which may actually be a less number of meals depending on how hungry you are. If you're feeding more than four people (or two hungry people for a few days) you may want to double it.

( Sausage and zucchini and tortellini soup )

Hello! First post here so I hope my coding is on par. ^_^

These are tricky to make this time of year, what with the trouble of getting fresh cranberries after January 1, but they are delectable. Scruffy around the edges and handsome in a roughed-up kind of way, but chewy and spicy with bursts of hot sweet ginger and tart cranberries. An excellent cookie for your Christmas gift tins. If you chop the cranberries super fine in a food processor, the cookies will have a pink tinge, but half-chopped cranberries will give you little blood-drops.

Before beginning, ensure that the oven's temperature is set to 350 F. You will require, by way of equipment, a hand mixer and a jelly-roll pan (or else a 13x9 pan), the latter greased and floured.

The ingredients are as follows:
1 package super-moist yellow cake mix
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, densely packed
3 eggs
1 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
12 oz. chocolate chips, divided in half - better if they be the miniature variety, but ordinary chips will do if the miniatures are unavailable.

With the mixer, beat together the sugar, cake mix, and peanut butter until crumbly. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl well. Do not permit any stray Dark Knights to steal the crumbly mixture. Set aside 2/3 cup of the crumbly mixture for later.

Mix in eggs, water, and oil, beating until smooth and creamy. Add half the chocolate chips. Pretend you do not notice if any White Mages present have been nibbling on the chocolate, and certainly do not watch them lick their fingers.

Once well-mixed, pour the batter into your pan. Scatter over the top the remaining chocolate chips, and the reserved cake mixture. Chase Dark Knights out of the kitchen when they attempt to lick the bowl before you ae fairly done.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes if using the jelly-roll pan, or 40-45 minutes if using a 13x9. Allow to cool somewhat, and ensure that the lady is served the first slice, with cold milk.

. radishes, nine in total, with leaves trimmed and one inch of stem remaining
. parsley leaves, freshly picked, eighteen in total
. butter, three tablespoons worth
. cream cheese, softened, one tablespoon worth
. chives, minced, one and one-half tablespoons worth
. zest of lemon, freshly grated, one pinch worth
. tabasco sauce, to taste
. salt, to taste

Stir well together the butter, cream cheese, chives, zest, tabasco, and salt in a small bowl, using a fork.

Half each radish lengthwise. Arrange on a platter, halved-side-up.

Place a small mound of chive butter on top of each radish half, then top with a parsley leaf. Or, if you prefer, place the parsley leaf directly on the radish and then top with chive butter. They are eaten either way.

Chill and cover until ready to serve, if need be.

Archadian Judges Magister Prohibition Ice Cream Cocktails

Gabranth's Rule of Law:

In a blender, mix until uniform:

2 parts chocolate ice cream
1 2"-square brownie
a healthy dash of chili powder (forego this if you're using a Gabranth Brownie from the earlier recipe set)
a teaspoon of cinnamon
chocolate syrup
milk to balance

Before poured, add in:
2 shots of decent tequila

and blender it for three seconds.


Drace's Maces

Two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a dish, one larger than the other. Dress with two shots of goldschlager, garnish with gandied ginger and two piroulines.


The Ghis Fandango

You will require:

two shortbread cookies of at least three-inch diameter, one of these halved
rum raisin ice cream (or vanilla, with the caveat of providing your own golden raisins, a quarter-cup per serving)
good, solid rum

Layer as follows, in a saucer or bowl: the whole cookie; the ice cream; the rum, sufficient to soak the confection; the halved cookies, speared in at aesthetic angles.


Zargabaath's Coda

Fill a pint-glass a third of the way with vanilla ice cream. Prepare a very dry vodka martini atop it. Stir gently.


Fire and Ice the Bergan Way

Prepare a black-and-white milkshake. Fill the glass only half-way. Pour atop it a shot of peppermint schnapps and a shot of goldschlager. Do not stir. Drink from the bottom up, through a straw, quickly.


Zecht's Homeland Security

A dish of vanilla ice cream; honey; fresh sliced papaya; Bacardi; fire; bliss.

Chrono Trigger Cupcakes

For these, you will need to prepare batter for vanilla and chocolate cupcakes according to your favorite recipe. If you're making Magus' as well, set aside a little of each so you can marble them.

Chrono : Chocolate cupcake, chocolate icing, and a generous orange slice with the rind still on.

Lucca : Chocolate cupcake with SPRINKLES swirled in to the batter, vanilla icing, SPRINKLES SPRINKLES SPRINKLES on top, and a raspberry for show.

Marle : Vanilla cupcake batter with a little orange and brown sugar baked on top as streusel, white glaze.

Robo : Vanilla cupcake batter with pecans swirled in, chocolate glaze, a few sprinkles.

Ayla : Chocolate cupcake turned upside-down after baking, filled with vanilla icing and a chocolate kiss, then topped with chocolate glaze.

Frog : Vanilla cupcake batter with pistachios swirled in, vanilla icing, and white coconut.

Magus : Vanilla and chocolate swirled batter, vanilla and chocolate swirled glaze.

The desserts of Vagrant Story, like their FFXII counterparts, are all meant to be made from scratch; ornate; requiring delicate flavor combinations. In the spirit of the city itself, though, all of these desserts are wet.

Here is how I reckon the alcoholic content of a dessert:

If the spirits provide flavor alone, the confection is drizzled. For instance, the Kahlua glaze on the Balthier cake.
If the alcohol is enough to be tasted, and enough to cause a noticeable "buzz", the confection is doused.
If, were it not for the sugar content of the dessert itself, you could be advised to not drive home, the confection is drowned.

That warning in hand, I present,

It’s all fun and games until someone loses an almond. Then it’s dessert.

The following recipes contain many jokes that are in poorer taste than the eventual product. Also, image-heavy!
