Suggested Characteristics

Kitchen Sages define their existence by the extensive studies, and practice, making their favorite foods and baked goods. Their characteristics reflect this life of pursuing the perfect dish. Devoted to culinary pursuits, a kitchen sage values food knowledge highly—sometimes in its own right, sometimes as a means toward other ideals.
