Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.

Many Abbithian cultures take cooking very seriously. Not every chef dedicates themselves to the dangerous path of a wandering culinarian but those that do are considered holy men by most cultures. The Gastronome is an example of an exalted adventuring chef who seeks out sublime ingredients and lost recipes.
