## Biography

At some point after he was 35, Aurie Taamu's first book was published, documenting his knowledge of Cooking special effects, Elixirs and Fairies. His second book was published an unknown period of time later and expanded on his knowledge of Cooking special effects, as well as covering Monster Extract and Cooking for monetary gain. In this book he also explained that he learnt all he knew from someone he described as a dear friend, although he was unable to recall the person's name.

During his life, Aurie Taamu was involved in a love triangle involving Ashai and Isha. It is unknown exactly what happened between the three of them, except that it ended badly and that both Ashai and Isha remain single to this day.

Not much else is known about Aurie Taamu, other than that he went to bed early, was afraid of Insects, and considered himself to be a pure soul. He was, by his own admission, an impatient man and always kept some hasty foods on hand as a result.

Ingredients that have hearty properties can fully heal you and grant you temporary bonus vitality! There are many other effects to be found among ingredients. You just have to experiment! And don't forget! Combining ingredients with the same effect may increase the effect's strength or duration... But combining ingredients with different effects may cancel their effects out, so you must be careful. I, Aurie Taamu, am admittedly quite impatient, so I always have speed-increasing hasty foods on hand!*" — *Chef Aurie Taamu, Vol. 1* (*Breath of the Wild*)

Elixirs can be made in pots, just like food, and with valuable ingredients, the elixir's effect will get stronger! You can also add acorns or Chickaloo tree nuts to impact your elixir with healing properties. However... I Aurie Taamu, am deathly afraid of insects and would never even think of touching them. Fortunately, there are regular meals that you can cook which will produce the same effects as elixirs.*" — *Chef Aurie Taamu, Vol. 1* (*Breath of the Wild*)
