Dear Alejandro Benjazar,
To earn your recommendation you requested me to describe my reason for practising my art.
My art is the art of Cooking. Food in my opinion is of utmost importance in our socieity, every interaction with your family and friends is around food.
The more time spend preparing the food and ensuring it's quality, the more you show your family, friends and your guests that you care about them and their time.
More importantly, you invite your enemies and rivals to the same dinner table to make peace.
Food is also important part of culture. Ephia's Well has a few prominent food items and people that are known for making them.
If anything, I would love to become a promiment figure in the art of cooking and define, in early stages, what our food culture is.
I don't yet know in what way, shape or form that'll be done, but I know with enough work, dedication and faith in the Gods I will pull this feat off.
Lastly and not least it will be an ultimate dream of mine to manage to have my food served to the Grandmaster, to the Sultan or his Princess daughters.
I know I'll have achieved greatness then.
Food is Art because it connects people.
We may hate each other's politics, but we will grow closer at the dinner table. Discussing our commonalities in food whilst enjoying it.
With kind regards,
Alfred Delafrosse
Dear S/r Delafrosse,
That is a lovely and eloquent letter.
Let's speak again when you have a chance, so we can discuss in more depth the expectations and obligations of a Student. Also, I have mentioned you to my colleagues, so feel free to introduce yourself. I'm sure you'll cause an excellent recomendation.
Yours,
