Ask game: Mixmaster's cookbook for the modern chemist

This is a non-narrative fic that is extracts from a cookbook by Mixmaster (edited by Hook.)

I just thought it'd be fun to explore Cybertronian cooking.

No warnings for the below text, it’s just long enough for a read more!

Some extracts from ‘Mixmaster of Kaon’s book of cookery for the creative chemist. Edited by Hook of Yuss.’ This book is believed to have been written in multiple stages; before, during and after the Great War. Mixmaster of Kaon transcribed the recipes, and Hook of Yuss was responsible for collating and editing the book.

Recipes range from traditional dishes from various regions of Cybertron to experimental cooking and high-grade cocktails.

The book was an enormous success when published 2.5AW and still is to this orn. This has been attributed to the book including portion sizes for multiple frame classes and its inclusion of recipes regardless of class connotations. Golden age cooking books often assumed the eater was a light-framed civilian build and avoided any war-build or construction class recipes.

The first five chapters that detail cooking methodology work with assumption the mecha reading the book had never attempted to cook before. This contributed to the book’s success as many prior cookbooks assumed the reader was already capable of cooking.

It is important to note for human readers that Cybertronian taste receptors work differently to the taste buds found on the human tongue. Also, cyber-plants and animals may translate with names that are similar to earth fauna and flora but may be very different.

Kaonite Oilcake.

This recipe originates in the Kaon mining districts. It is made from the hardy oil-gourds that grow around mine pits or in natural crevasses.

Portions can be scaled up or down for any frame size by halving or doubling quantities.

Equipment:

One cooking furnace.

A sharp laser knife.

A large pounding bowl.

A pounder.

One cake tin.

One chopping board.

One peeler.

Baking mesh (Must be twice the size in width as the cake tin.)

One graphite stylus.

Hand held low power laser cutter.

Ingredients:

Four large oil gourds (In weight, 500Vg of gourd per mini sized mech, 1Vkg per mid sized mech, 2Vkg per large framed mech.)

Refined oil (refined oil-gourd oil is traditional, but any refined oil will do.)

Coarsely ground sulphur crystals.

--

1. Remove the gourd’s wires, peel the outer plastic layer then remove seeds. Chop oil gourds into cubes.

2. Place oil-gourd cubes into pounding bowl then pound until a smooth mixture is achieved. Add sulphur crystals.

3. Place cake tin on baking mesh and use graphite stylus as directed in chapter 3, section 1A.

Cut baking mesh as per chapter 3, section A1. Brush tin with refined oil. This will prevent the cake from sticking.

4. Pour mixture into cake tin.

6. Set the cooking furnace to 200Kz. Once it is heated, place cake tin inside on a tray for 30 clicks.

7. Remove the cake tin from the furnace. Place cake on heatproof pad to cool before removing baking tray.

8. Remove the baking tray. Best served with limestone cream. The cake will last three orns. However, repeating the baking process will increase the longevity by at least two vorns if done corrective (see page 134.6.)

WIP ask game

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descript or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

Some of these fics are dark and may contain gore, violence and noncon. Or may just be kinky. I will put everything under a cut with a warning on if needed.
