Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1528 Divine Cooking Arts

Chapter 1528 Divine Cooking Arts

-----
With an atmosphere filled with laughter and joy, thanks to our victory and the precious bonds we've forged together, we began to feast on the various dishes I had decided to prepare. Mostly all the favorite meals that I knew from my friends. Emerald was a bit hard to figure out, he had only eaten fruits and raw prey before, so he had no favorite food, but once he tasted the fruit pies he quickly changed his mind.
"Wooah! What are these?! They're so good! So sweet and spongy! There's such a sweet fruit there, mixed with all the dough, it's nice!" He was really enjoying a variety of fruit pies I baked for everyone with a sweet tooth.
"Eat was many as you want." I told him, while two of my doppelgangers were cooking a variety of hot dishes, from roasting meat to making fried rice, crispy fried chicken, freshly baked bread, and even pizza.
After having not eaten for three days we all wanted to eat like pigs, and everyone was enjoying the meals happily. Benladann and Miranda were devouring giant sandwiches I made for them, wolfing them down in just a couple of bites.
These sandwiches were full of roasted meat nicely seasoned with soy sauce and spicy sauce, it had fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and a variety of other sauces, including mayonnaise and garlic sauce. They were really good, even the lizardmen that were not used to such dishes enjoyed them.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp…!" Benladann quickly drank a whole jug of beer in a single sip. "Phew! This really hits the spot! I was missing a cold beer with something nice made by my hubby! His cooking's so good! I'm so lucky to have him, heheh."
"You sure are lucky!" Sighed Nadia. "Surtr has yet to get as good with cooking as Drake has, it's a pity, really. I want him to cook me better dishes."
"H-Hey, I'm doing my best!" Surtr complained. "Drake's cheating because he has a Divinity of Cooking and even a Cooking Divine Ability and all!"
"I suppose you're not wrong there." Miranda nodded. Unlike Benladann she liked drinking from a cup of wine she refilled every few minutes. "Our husband has been refining the technique for years now. I can admit he conquered my heart through the stomach. I couldn't resist all the delicious dishes."
"I can always teach you how to use some basic cooking divine spells, Surtr." I said, reassuring him while I enjoyed a meal I made only for myself.
It was a plate full of fried rice with eggs, veggies, and so on, but the side of it was the surprising thing. They were dozens of piled crimson red steaks, releasing powerful auras of demonic energy.
Yeah, this was a meal nobody else but me could eat at the moment, made using demonic beast meat. I picked the strongest demonic beast I saw inside of my Inventory after the massacre, and butchered it however I could, taking out and purifying several pieces of meat.
The blood was acidic and could melt skin on contact, so I had to extract it almost completely and purify it, thankfully, I was able to stabilize the meat enough I could cook it.
It took some time, but there was nothing in this world I cannot cook with my abilities. I ended not only roasting this meat using the strongest flames available with Surtr's aid, but I also made burgers, meatballs, empanadas, and meatloaf using the demonic beast's flesh.
I ended cooking three whole Demonic Beasts like this, and I was already on my thirtieth meal I had eaten. At first it was a bit painful, really spicy, to the point it burned my own throat by just swallowing them.
But my regeneration and resistance activated in that moment, and I was able to at least get the meat into my stomach so it could get consumed with the power of the Sin of Gluttony. It was a painful method, but it was one of the ways I could temper my body I had discovered, so it can get more used to Demonic Energy.
And it wasn't without its rewards, cooking so many extravagant dishes using the Cooking Arts I had acquired helped it grow as well!
