Wherever you travel, your reputation as a generous and talented chef opens doors. People throughout the realms recognize (or quickly appreciate) your skill in the kitchen, and they are often willing to offer comfort in exchange for your cooking.
You can always find a place to prepare food, whether it’s a tavern kitchen, a friendly home, a roadside shrine, or a camp shared by wanderers. When searching for such a place, you and your companions can expect:
