Bess, Soul Nourisher is a human citizen in New Capenna.
Description
Food nourishes the soul. Without it, you can't survive, of course, but with bad food, you don't live. The pretty ones up in Park Heights might have enjoyed their frothed foams, delicate medallions, microgreen sprays, and choice of cuts, but down-city people need to eat as well. The people need fuel, to nourish their bodies and their souls, not just thrill their palates. Bess is the city's best- and worst-kept secret: a cook to rival the white-coated chefs of Park Heights and a logistician to shame the five families' most experienced smugglers. A master of her craft, she does her work for donations and the people that more expensive restaurants — with worse food — exclude from their tables.
History
Once a sous chef under Rocco, Bess broke off to form her own kitchen, seeking to bring her skills down-city, back to the streets where she grew up. The people up-city have no appreciation for the art of cooking, only for being seen in the right places by the right people. Food is meant to be enjoyed, meant to be loved. For Bess, cooking was never about impressing people — it was about feeding people. That her food happens to be some of the best in the city is, in her opinion, added proof of the righteousness of her mission: to cook for the people.[1]
