COOKS: Accepting Applications

Let it BE known that I am ACCEPTING applications for STUDENT Cooks beginning TODAY and lasting THROUGH the 15th of THIS moon. I will be TAKING on no more than TWO understudies PER BAILEY, with your BAILEY DETERMINED by your RANK. Commoners and HONORED GUESTS will count for the OUTER, while COURTIERS and higher will count for the INNER. If you do NOT have the TIME to commit to the CRAFT, then do NOT waste my TIME applying. If you THINK you might FALL to sleep within THREE moons of being HIRED, then do NOT waste my time APPLYING. If you do NOT consume FOOD and DRINKS yourself THEN do not WASTE my time APPLYING, as COOKING requires TASTING and having an UNDERSTANDING of FLAVORS to successfully CREATE.

Applications SHOULD include the FOLLOWING, and be SENT to me in a FILE folder or a PACKAGE all together:

Name
Length of TIME awake
Current AFFILIATIONS
REASON for wanting to JOIN
Long-term GOALS

ONE FOOD RECIPE
ONE DRINK RECIPE
