[*][Library][SAFE]<2908hp 2512sp 1978st> This quest [3392] is called 'Cooking Steak and Potatoes',
for Adventurers levels 241 to 250.
Steak and potatoes is a simple yet delicious meal that can be cooked on any
griddle.  The flavors go well with each other and it is a very filling meal.


Start by finding a nice cut of beef.  Flam's Steak House has some fresh
sirloin steaks for sale, and that will be perfect for our meal.  

Next, find a raw yellow potato.  These tender tubers are grown by many
farmers in Alyria.  You will be able to find farmers in the fields outside
of many Alyrian cities.  If you do not wish to murder them in order to
liberate a potato, you might be able to convince them to give you one if you
give them about 250 gold.  

Finally, you will need to cook the meal on a griddle.  There is remored to
be a kitchen deep in the bowels of Maldra Keep, hidden away from the prying
eyes of the guards.  This obscure place might be difficult to find, but you
would be free to use the cooking tools located within.  Type where is
cooking-griddle to get directions, and then head there and enter the command
cook steak and potatoes.  

The 'cook' command is the method by which all meals are cooked.  Once you
have gathered the ingredients, you must fulfill all other requirements of
the recipe, such as cooking equipment being in the room, obtaining a
specific mark or the index cards which allows you to bypass it, the presence
of a master chef in the room who will supervise the cooking process, or some
other possibilities.  Not all of these things will necessarily be required,
but at once one of them often is.  

After your steak and potatoes is cooked, shared it with one of your fellow
adventurers!  Give it to another player and convince them to eat it in
order to complete this quest.  It might help to mention that they will gain
a food buff if they consume your meal.  

In order to cook this recipe, you must be holding the index card that
granted you this quest.  Each time a different player eats a meal you have
cooked, you will have a chance to be granted the mark associated with that
meal.  Once you have obtained that mark, you will have mastered that recipe
and you will no longer need the index card to assist you in cooking the
meal.  You will be granted a new index card which will grant you access to a
random recipe you do not know yet.
