Not everyone has your gift for cooking, your character.

You've demonstrated your ability to combine the freshest ingredients and the finest seasonings for your culinary creations.

You take time to carefully prepare each dish so that they're beautiful as well as delicious.

Clearly, you have an extraordinary talent...I think it's time for a culinary challenge.

Get the recipes for Lainita's Salad, Lainita's Smoothie, and Lainita's Fish, practice them until you can make the tastiest possible versions, and bring them to me.

These are complex dishes suited for only the most discerning of palates. I hope you're up for a kitchen stadium fight...and prove that you deserve the title of Expert.

Oh, and if you agree to become a Cooking Expert, you can only become an Expert in one other field, and even then you must wait until you've finished your studies. So think carefully before you answer.

The menu for the Tasty Banquet calls for Lainita's Tasty Salad, Lainita's Tasty Smoothie, and Lainita's Tasty Fish.

Each dish must balance and accentuate the next...each course must delight the tongue and linger on the palate. It won't be easy, but you've done well so far, your character....

I'll be waiting here for you to cook and serve these delicious dishes, your character. I'm salivating just thinking about them.

You have the skills to prepare what I asked. Perhaps you're just less interested in the craft than I thought.

Or maybe you think it's more convenient to buy food from food merchants?

You disappoint me, your character. Leave me to my art.

Becoming a Cooking Expert was not an easy path. I won a cooking contest, and then traveled everywhere in Asmodae to study local produce and traditional cooking methods.

Experience carefully refined my taste. But I think your excellent sense of taste is innate.

It's good to see you working so hard. You remind me of myself in my younger days.

Don't put all your stock in the ingredients...technique and preparation are equally important. Are you ready to start cooking the Tasty Banquet now?

The salad is fresh, crisp, and the fish is cooked to perfection...ahh...it really brings out the freshness of the ingredients. The smoothie is perfectly balanced between tart and sweet.

Superb!

your character, you may bitten off too much to chew. I know it's a difficult choice, but you can only select one field to study for Expert in.

If you are walking the path of Expert in another field, you'll have to put Cooking on the back burner until you're done.
