The LOTRO Beacon: Issue 174 is now available!

[Ciarran]

With his awesome pyrokinetic powers, one of his specialties is ..."Flash-Cooked Goblins". (It's an acquired taste, really. But I wouldn't bother him with frying fish or boiling potatoes.)

[Acorne_Oakley]

Well, he's good at cooking up fireworks!

[Moorsbane]

Considering the amount of time he spends with Frodo in Bilbo's bedroom, I'd say probably not, no.

[Ayoheynns]

excellent!

[DonZilla]

A wizard is never late... but can't cook to save his life lol

[YamydeAragon]

He was never mentioned to be a renowned chef, but he at least must be good enough cook, to don't die of starvation, while he wanders Arda in a mortal body. Apart of that, we know that he can cook fireworks!

[DarioSanchez]

not a good one

[Satana666]

He tried to make Lembas Bread but he Burnzum, lol!

[Chestman]

I am sure that Gandalf has come across many recipes and tomes expounding on all sorts of methods and theories of cooking in all the time he has spent studying the libraries of Middle Earth. However, just because someone has studied the works of Shakespeare does not mean that someone can create a masterpiece similar to Shakespeare. Nonetheless, one might be able to create something reminiscent of Shakespeare if one studies enough and puts the time and effort into it. I just don't see any evidence that Gandalf has put the time and effort into learning to cook well. Thus, I think he probably can cook well enough to keep himself fed, but not well enough to entertain a party with his food. His party specialties and interests lie in other areas.

[Bruno_Lotro]

A great one indeed! afterall he has aaaaaallll the time he could need to cook!

[The_Wise_Owl]

If he was a great cook, perhaps he would have invited the Dwarves to his own house rather than Bilbo's!

[Nuvcanu]

Don't know, but he's a servant of the secret fire and his staff secretly wishes it was a wooden spoon.

[HeathenMetalDad]

I think he would make a lovely rotisserie pig

[brianfsddfsd]

Given that flash-forzen food is terrible, id imagine flash-cooked food is just as bad

[brian123789]

I have never heard of him cooking, so he must be terrible

[BingoBoffinSlayer]

Hes always hanging out with the hobbits, so maybe hes good at cooking potatoes

[HunttheWabbit]

He's probably terrible, he sits around smoking the hobbits' leaf while they do the cooking for him

[DurinsSoggyBeard]

Why would a wizard need to cook? Can't he just magic the food to be done?

[Steelfist]

Yes, interesting, cooking.

[oliphantking]

He is a amazing cook! he probably uses his magic to cook with fire spells in the shape of a dragon breathing fire!

[bto]

Very bad. Always uses too much gunpowder

[Shadowvisitodir]

In theory is very good cook but in practice no have mind and time for this

[Cordovan]

He probably has all of the knowledge of what he needs to do to cook but none of the practical skills. I think his mind is too preoccupied with other creative endeavours, like smoke rings and fireworks.

Congratulations, you are this week's winner! PM incoming with a code.
