Sylvan cooking is almost as refined as that of the true Elves, in terms of presentation and flavor combinations. The ingredients, however, are what set the dishes apart. The central elements are gathered or hunted from the wild, never cultivated or preserved. Particularly favored are fleetingly seasonal items, or those requiring special skill or knowledge to locate or prepare. Supporting these unusual items are many of the same techniques and preparations familiar to anyone who has dined in the elven cities.
