[Sca-cooks] Fantasy foods

[Lisa]

I do know that the Dragonlance published 2 books that each have a section
that is cookbooks called Leaves of the Inn of the Last Home 1 and 2.  Most
of the recipes are doable with substitutions for certain types of meats,
(most of the time the books give substitution recommendations) but I'd
definitely avoid the Gully Dwarf Stew.
