GW2 Jerk Chicken, Leek Flatbreads and Pineapple Salad

IMG_1303Late last October ArenaNet finally released the long awaited expansion Heart of Thorns. Since there’s usually a couple of recipes released with every chapter of the living story or the various festivals, I should have known something was coming my way. I only took note of the recipes for sale in the new areas in passing though, firmly in the grips of the new chapters and all the wild, new things going on all over the place. Little. Kid. Locked. In. A. Candy. Store.

GW2 Orrian Steak Frittes or How it all began

IMG_1028

I thought about which GW2 inspired recipe would be best to open this category with for a bit and decided it’d be best if I just started at the beginning. This was the first dish off the Tyrian menu I’ve intentionally recreated this side of the screen. One small step for an asuran necromancer, one giant leap into this project.
