6 chicken breasts, fresh or frozen 1 ½ – 2 pounds small potatoes ½ pound string beans 3 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp minced garlic 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp dried oregano ½ tsp fennel seed ½ tsp ground paprika ½ tsp salt

Place all ingredients in a crock pot. If using frozen chicken, it does not need to be thawed. Stir everything with a large spoon to distribute the seasoning. Cook on low heat for 4 hours.

¼ cup thinly sliced onion ¼ cup minced garlic, raw or roasted 1 tsp fennel seed 1 Tbsp paprika 1 tsp cumin 3 Tbsp olive oil + some for sauteing 3 Tbsp lemon juice ½ tsp salt 2 cups cannelini beans or other white beans, cooked & rinsed

Saute onion with a small amount of olive oil, in a covered skillet over medium heat. Assemble the other ingredients in a food processor. When the onion is limp and translucent, add it to the food processor. Puree everything until it is as smooth as possible. Add a bit more lemon juice if necessary to make it smooth.

2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen) 2 cups water 1 Tbsp floral tea* (dried rose petals, hibiscus, chamomile, etc) 2 cups sugar 2 liters carbonated water

Spices: For regular healing potion: ½ tsp ground ginger For greater healing potion: ¼ tsp ground clove For superior healing potion: ¼ tsp smoked paprika For supreme healing potion: 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper

½ tsp pearl dust** For regular healing potion: pink pearl dust For greater healing potion: white pearl dust For superior healing potion: silver pearl dust For supreme healing potion: gold pearl dust

*The floral tea I used in this batch was a combination of hibiscus petals, lemon peel, orange peel, rose hips, and rose petals.

**Pearl dust is a powdered food coloring, made with mica powder, used to decorate pastries. It is shimmery, and not to be confused with color dust, which is powdered food coloring that is not pearlescent. It is also called luster dust in different brands.

Combine raspberries, water, floral tea, and spice over high heat in a large pan. Bring to a boil, then lower to medium heat to maintain a boil for 25 minutes.

Put a fine mesh strainer, or a colander lined with cheesecloth, over a tall bowl or pitcher. Pour the mixture into the strainer and let it slowly strain through gravity, without pressing the mixture.

Eventually, after an hour or more, you should have about 1 ½ cups of syrup.

Remove and reserve 2 cups of carbonated water from its bottle. Add the pearl dust into the bottle, then pour the raspberry syrup into the bottle. Top off any empty space with the reserved carbonated water. Screw on the lid and gently tilt the bottle back and forth to mix it.

In the Redwall universe, this is actually made from a red-colored root with a hot flavor (seen in Outcast of Redwall). I'm not sure such a plant exists in real life, so I've blended different peppers and spicy roots to make this spice.

cayenne pepper black pepper ground ginger ground horseradish paprika

Combine equal amounts of the spices.

I added the paprika to make it a more red color. Most paprika available is sweet and not very spicy, but there are spicy kinds available, so use that if you can find it.

To make hotroot essence, mix the powder with cold water to make a thick liquid, let it sit a few minutes, then add a small amount of vinegar.
