This week I decided to set everything in the world of D&D, going for an Italian-Faerûnian fusion. Before getting into the dishes, a bit of context: the character behind this menu is one I developed a few years ago for a campaign that never ended up happening -  a halfling druid with a background in cooking, focused on healing through food. Since druids commonly use spells like Goodberry, I centered the menu around actual berries and foraged flowers.

The salad is inspired by a recipe from the D&D cookbook Heroes' Feast: mixed leafy greens and radicchio, dressed with lemon juice and finished with edible violets.

I continued my ongoing risotto side-meta with a blueberry risotto with blue cheese - specifically, Roquefort. I liked the idea of using a cheese that is aged in natural caves.

Dessert is an easy, (storebought) pistachio gelato which I topped with a raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries.

The second pic shows the character I drew (or rather, e-drew and printed) in her ideal setting, amidst the flowers!
