The Brony Chef Project #6: Twilight Sparkle

We finally reached to the last of the Mane Six. She is the leader and the main focal point of the show all together. She is the "Magic" in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Her name is Twilight Sparkle and she is heart and soul of the Mane Six.

Twilight Sparkle is a unicorn who is intelegent, kind and always curious about how the world works. Her element is called magic but it's really called freindship. She is socially awkward, but she does care about about her friends and how freindship works. As soon as you see the first episode of the series, you start to realize she's not the ussual main chracter for a styriotype of a little girl show. She is a realist in a fantasy world. A strange combination of mytical and yet still be able to relate to the othe charaters. Its somewhat strange but that is what makes Twilight an intelegent charater. The fact that she is in a kid show but still mature enough to face problems adults face everyday, wheather emotionally or socially. That is whats truly sets her apart from the other mane six: her ability to keep the focus of the show, while still keeping the othermembers of the mane six a big roles in the series.

Through out season one, she was ussually the main focus since she sends letters to Princess Celestia about her findings of friendship. (Princess Celestia would appear in a later post.) But since "Lesson Zero" (Season 2 episode 3), Twilight became somewhat more equal with the Mane 6. True, she does appear in most of the episode's and she is still an important character to the show, but she isnt the real focus all the time. That is the main reason why I think's makes a good character in general. The fact that the one in charge can still give the spotlight to others and take control without takeing out the focus of the main charater.

I can talk about Twilight Sparkle all day, but I think it would do justice to begin the recipe. For this recipie, I think it replicates the simplicity of her practicle mind with the beutiful melody of classic flavors to this mystical entree. Its a healthy meal and its satisfying to enjoy this a meal or as a star of your buffet in a bigger scale.





Twilight Sparkles Baked Salmon Salad



serves 4



Baked Salmon

4 6 oz salmon filets

olive oil to drizzle

1/2 cup of white wine

salt and pepper to season

Salad

20 oz of spinach and arugula

4 Basil Leaves, chopped

Dressing

2 tsp of white wine vinegar

~1-2 oz of dijon mustard (~1tsp)

4 oz of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tsp of dill



1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Cover your sheet pan or casserole dish with tin foil and drizzle olive oil on top of the foil covered pan to prevent sticking.

2. Place the salmon on the oiled pan without touching each other. Pour the white wine on top and around the salmon. Season the fish lightly.

3. Once the oven is preheated, bake the fish for 14-15 minutes.

4. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad on a platter or on a nice big plate. (make sure the vegitables are fresh.)

5. Create the dressing by combineing the vinigar and mustard in a small bowl and stream the olive oil slowly while wisking the mixture. Keep on wisking until the dressing is incorperated. Add more oil if needed. Add the dill last and stir to incorperate.

6. Once the salmon is done, let the fish cool for 5 minutes to prevent wilting of the salad. Place the salmon on top of the salad, drizzle the dressing on top and on the side, place the basil leaves on for garnish and serve warm.

This is a dish you can make for not only parties, but as a good meal for the family to enjoy. From personal experience with Twilights Salmon alongside with Fluttershy's soup, it is a perfect combination for a good wholsome meal.

We have reached to the end of the Mane Six but that does not mean it is the end. There are still so many characters to cover, it somewhat intimitating of how much work and effort I must put in to make this project successfull. Although, I think I could possibly grow from this experience as a chef and as a food writer. I know that my charater annalisis is not perfect and somewhat more a perspecitive peice, but I think it works on certain levles that Brony's amd home cooks alike can appriciate.

With that in mind, have a magical day and keep on cooking.
