Guild Wars Cooking Meets The Real World

In a new Forbes article, titled “Four ‘Guild Wars 2′ Recipes You Can Craft in Your Kitchen”, author Carol Pinchefsky has admitted she’s hungry, and it is Guild Wars 2 to blame. Sh’s become addicted to cooking in game, and can’t help but feeling hungry when she sees all those delicious foods. Upon reading this, I immediately sympathized, having suffered the same pangs of hunger as I leveled through this crafting discipline. In order to alleviate her hunger, she’s made a few recipes come to life. My favorite? Yams!


OWL OF SPICED MASHED YAMS (serves 4)

- 4 yams
- 1/4 cup of buttermilk
-4 cloves of garlic
- 1 inch cube of ginger root
- 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper (to taste)


Optional:
Cayenne, curry powder, or turmeric


Preheat oven. Bake four yams at 350F for 45 minutes until soft. Remove skins. Crush four cloves of garlic and grate the ginger; saute garlic and ginger in oil until golden.Mash the yams with a potato masher. Mix in the sauteed garlic and ginger. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes four servings.


Optional: If you like your yams extra hot, add cayenne pepper while you’re mashing. If you prefer them more flavorful, add curry powder or turmeric.
