NotesEdit
- The text written in the Dragon Alphabet around the edge of the pages reads:
-
- A message from esteemed editor Arinmir Larethiath
- With this book I leave my mark on the culinary arts world
- A most significant mark indeed unhindered by the directorate of the College
- Those who would undoubtedly elect to imprison my taste and squander my perspective
- Rue the day you chose all that is supercilious and conceited and refused to promote an Assistant Sapiarch to his deserved position
