A Guide to the Kitchen Quadrant: The Unofficial Fourth Wing Cookbook

Eat like a Dragon Rider

If you’re reading this, congratulations: you’re still breathing.

You’ve crossed the parapet. Maybe you’ve lived through Threshing, the Gauntlet, betrayal, heartbreak, victory, loss. Maybe you’re covered in scars. Maybe you’re just hungry.

Either way, I’m not here to lecture you. Gods know you’ve had enough of that from your dragon, I’m sure.

This isn’t a rulebook. It’s not a codex. It’s something to get you through when your squad’s running on fumes and the mess hall is half ash. These are meals for people who’ve fought for their lives and then had to fight again before dessert.

So eat. Share if you can. Hide the last roll if you must. And if you burn the first batch, that just means you’re trying. Keep at it.
