Recommended books and recipe's

Two things I wanna Know is that in dx1 for the hong kong level the bartender in the water ways tells of a book called last and the first men. Has anyone read this before and is it any good?

Also in the kitchen of the Luminous path Compound, there is a recipe book for silver chinese loaves. But it is unfinished with no cook time or temp to bake them. Has anyone made these before?

Yes and yes (though it is just "Last and First Men"). It is very, very good. I can also recommend Olaf Stapledon's other biggie: "Star Maker". Both books are Epic in the truest, purest sense of the word.

So what about that recipe? Is it the whole complete thing or do I need to cook that batch of dough lol?

Anyone else read it because of this game?

Ah! I forgot about the Coq au vin recipe in france.

1 chicken, cut into 9 pieces
2 tbsp unsalted butter
10 oz pearl onions, peeled
4 slices bacon, cut into 10cm pieces
1 tbsp flour
¾ cup of chicken stock
1 bouquet garni
2 cups of red wine
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper, garlic


Brown the chicken in the butter in a frying pan over moderate heat. Place chicken in a heavy casserole.

Brown the onions and bacon in the frying pan and add to the chicken.

Add the flour and stir well.

Add stock, bouquet garni, wine, salt and pepper. Stir and pour over chicken. Cover and simmer 30 minutes.

Add the red wine vinegar. Degrease the sauce before serving.

Personally I would use shallots instead of pearl onions and use a bottle of wine rather than wine and stock.
