What I do

These kitchens are run by Sedelyan, a casual player in the middle of Sinai. As Gastronomy is difficult at best to obtain for new players, especially those unfamiliar with kitchens (or even older players who haven't cooked much), I've decided to turn my hand to public cooking. For new players and those under 7 Gastronomy, these masterpieces are completely free, without obligation; it helps quite a lot to have the ability to taste a dish before eating. For those between 7 and 49 gastronomy, a small donation is requested, so that I can keep these kitchens up. For those over 49 gastronomy, or players requesting Banquet menu cooking, just contact me in-game.

What this is

Sedelyan's Kitchens are a small compound in the middle of Sinai. Every few days, I'll cook 7 or more masterpieces, rotating the dishes depending on consumption. When that happens, I'll usually message the northeast-Egypt guilds, particularly the Lounge and Sinai ones. Meals are first-come, first-serve, though it's preferred that players under 7 gastro eat first. If you don't want to donate, just eat your way up to 7, and it's free of charge. I may be creating a guild for the purpose of helping players learn masterpieces, but we'll see how this goes first.

The compound is southwest of the Sinai chariot stop at 2385, 5317, and painted Dark Sea Green.

How to donate

Donation is simple. For every meal you partake of, I request that you supply approximately 10-14 debens of requested materials, mostly to recoup any losses from those pesky 'almost-masterpiece' dishes -- and to feed the new players, of course. In the compound, there are four chests: Common Herbs, Mushrooms, Fish&Veg, and Other. They're publically viewable, so you can see what they have in them. For herb donations, please restrict yourselves to the /common/ ones, e.g. Basil, Rosemary, Black Pepper, Wild Lettuce, etc. I have a list of good materials for donation down below.

If you want to donate anything other than foodstuffs, please contact me via chat; we can arrange something. For anonymous donation of other materials in addition to foodstuffs, there's a chest just in front of (east of) the compound. Remember that even though I may not need much, vegetables and fish are always welcome.

How to partake

First, always, always, ALWAYS bring your own grilled fish. Several meals in the compound WILL leave you unable to walk, particularly if you donate after eating. Add the fact that all these meals are likely to approach an hour, and that's a lot of gametime lost if I'm not on. I'll have a small chest set up with emergency fish, but I may not always remember to keep it well-stocked.

When you partake of meals, first check the oldest ones. Of those, eat the ones with the most servings first, assuming you need a certain number of points. Once you've eaten the oldest, go to the newer, and do the same. Never have more than one serving of each, please -- it's just a waste. Finally, please don't empty out the kitchens. It's self-explanatory, but I can imagine it happening; it's just a waste of my time and yours, if you do.

Credits
