   Big dreams start from humble beginnings...

   When a young culinary-minded peasant accidentally injures the king's chef, he agrees to take the chef's place and cook for the royal staff instead of spending days in the pillory. (And he enjoys it more than his mother says he should.)

   Cooking: it's fun, right?

   On the way to the Eastern Principality, Daren and the king's men stop at an inn with a less-than-desirable reputation. When the innkeeper learns of Daren's culinary skills and eagerness for a permanent job, she engages his services in the kitchen for a day to impress a lord passing by. But Daren doesn't exactly know how to work with a staff that isn't the king's men.

   Don't know what to do? Fake it till you make it.

   The king's party finally made it to the Eastern Principality, and, unfortunately for Sir Maxwell, Lord Hyperion wants to see his son and his new mentee. During their talk, Daren agrees to go on a hunting trip with Lord Hyperion against Sir Maxwell's wishes in an attempt to ease the relationship between father and son. The only problem is that Daren has no idea how to hunt with a lord.
