Corelanyan Cuisine, Vol. 2

by Pameryawen

A cookbook featuring Corelanyan recipes

---

This is the second volume of Pameryawen's Essential Corelanyan Cuisine! (The publisher still tells me that the full title is too long to put of the book cover.)

One thing that is nearly impossible to grow on Solstice is wheat. The soil here is too sandy or too soft to support the cultivation of wheat crops. While some nobles have managed to establish private wheat fields for their personal use, most here utilize a common cereal grain known as saiewin. This absolutely delightful grain has for multiple uses here on Solstice. Saiewin noodles, bread, sweetrolls, and batter for frying fish are just some of the ways we utilize this grain. Saiewin is made from saie blades, which resembles a light green grass that grows in rows of stalks that can reach as high as a tall Altmer.

The young stalks are rigid and have a high starch content. As the plants age, they sprout reddish brown flowers with strands of spiky seeds. Once these growths sprout, the stalks should no longer be used to make saiewin grain. The flowers turn the starchy blades bitter and the spiky seeds are poisonous to everyone except Argonians. The saie blades must be harvested while they are young and reach between two and six feet in height, which usually takes a year. They are best harvested in winter.

Queens Sauce
Meridia, Azura, and Nocturnal are our most sacred and beloved Three Queens. Each guides us in our lives and our routines, as they are the suns, the stars, and the night. It is said that a young acolyte created a special sauce for a festival on Azura's worship day. The sauce was so well received that Azura herself took him to her realm of Moonshadow and rewarded him. Later, the recipe was adjusted to add ingredients to honor Meridia and Nocturnal, creating the fabulous and versatile sauce known today as Queens Sauce. Midnight Peppercorns for Nocturnal, Dusk Dillweed for Azura, and Sunleaves for Meridia.

Ingredients:
A scoop of sunspice (Meridia).
A sprig of dusk dillweed (Azura).
A pinch of ground midnight peppercorns (Nocturnal).
Yolk of one guar or chicken egg.

Preparation:
Place all ingredients in a bowl, in the proscribed order.
Whisk until combined.
Serve as a dressing on salad or as a sauce on the dish of your choice.
