Well toast my crackers! I KNOW you have a special talent for cooking, Player.

The food you've made smells superb and tastes...splendiferous!

You have extraordinary talent...and I have an idea. Will you take a test for me?

Player: "Gladly."

I want you to make the tastiest versions of Lainita's Tasty Salad, Lainita's Tasty Smoothie, and Lainita's Tasty Fish for me.

Of course, you'll need to select the freshest ingredients, and maintain your cool while turning up the heat.

If you agree to become a Cooking Expert, you can't also be training to be an Expert in another field. So think about it carefully before you answer.

Player: Accept.

You'll be able to produce a superb Tasty Banquet if you keep cooking Lainita's Salad, Lainita's Smoothie, and Lainita's Fish. Serving these dishes together will be quite the challenge...they'll require a delicate touch with seasonings!

I know it's not easy, but I believe you'll succeed, Player...you've done well so far.

I'll be waiting for the tasty dishes that you make.

Player: "I best get to gathering and shopping then."

I studied hard to become a cooking master. After winning the Pandaemonium porgus cooking contest, I wandered every corner of Asmodae, sampling food, learning local specialties, and creating new dishes.

My tongue was trained and sharpened--don't cross me! But yours is a sensitive palate.

Did you make the dishes that I wanted?

Player: "Ta da! Good eating, Lainita!"

You remind me of myself in the old days. I worked hard to procure the finest ingredients.

But sometimes, a good chef must cook with normal ingredients. Focus on cooking the Tasty Banquet.

Player: "On it!"

Mmm! The fish is crispy outside and tender inside. Ooh, the smoothie is such a subtle blend of fruit flavors! And the salad is crispy and delightful...what an inventive dressing!

My wings and feathers Player you've got it!
Oh, I'm sorry.

If you want to become an Expert in two areas, you must first complete one expert course before starting another.

For now, concentrate on the area in which you already are an Expert. We can talk about cooking expertize later.

Player: "But I can do both! Really!"

You're too ambitious. Sadly you can become only one type of expert at a time.

If you are walking the path of expert in another field, you can't choose the course for cooking expert. So give up cooking for now.

Player: "Shards. I was just getting the hang of it."

You're already a Cooking Expert, aren't you? Why did you come to see me?

You've come to the wrong master. Well, it's a common mistake, but I am surprised to see you...

Player: "Sorry about that."
