Cooking Recipes covers the kitchen jobs done from the crafting menu. It includes opening packaged food, slicing and portioning, preparing dough and batter, preserving vegetables in jars and a few appliance jobs such as toast and coffee.

The recipes train Cooking. A higher Cooking level makes each ingredient give more nutrition and use up less of itself. From level 7 a cook can safely use small amounts of rotten food. The crafting menu side sits next to the evolved recipes, where ingredients are added to soups, stews and salads. Cooking ties in with Farming, Fishing, Trapping and animal keeping, since all of those bring raw food to the kitchen.

Skills


Every recipe in this category is open at Cooking 0. Anything known can be made from the first day.

The skill still matters through what is known. Many of the baking recipes must be learned, and Cooking level unlocks them on its own. Pizza, sushi, guacamole and the fried dishes unlock at Cooking 6. Breads, cookies, muffins and dough unlock at Cooking 7. Make Jar of Preserved Food unlocks at Cooking 8.

Most recipes give a small amount of Cooking XP. Bread, cookies and other baking give more. Cooking XP also comes from cooking food over a heat source and from adding ingredients to evolved recipes.

The Chef occupation starts with Cooking at level 4. Burger Flipper and the Keen Cook trait each add 2 levels. The Cooking skill books raise the XP rate for each pair of levels.

The recipes by the skill level they ask for.

Learning


Most of the category is known from the start. The opening, slicing and portioning recipes all fall in this group.

The baked goods and special dishes must be learned. The Chef occupation knows all of them. The Keen Cook trait knows most of them.

Magazines cover the rest. Good Cooking - May 1993 teaches bread, baguettes and biscuits. Good Cooking - June 1993 teaches cake batter and pie dough. Grandma's Kitchen teaches the cookie recipes. Delicious Meals - June 1993 teaches cabbage rolls, guacamole, onion rings and breaded shrimp. Italian Delights teaches pizza. World Cooking teaches sushi, maki and onigiri. American Homesteading teaches preserved food jars, and the Gardener trait also knows it.

These magazines, books, traits and occupations teach recipes from this category that have to be learned.

Materials


Flour is the base of most baking. Water from a container, sugar, baking fat, salt and yeast come up again and again.

Tools come back after each craft. A mixing utensil and a bowl are the most common. A sharp knife or meat cleaver handles the slicing and butchering. A rolling pin is needed for dough, pizza and cookies. Kept tools can wear down with use.

Preserving jars use a jar, a Jar Lid and a knife. Jar Lid can also be forged at a forge.

The materials these recipes use up most often.

Almost every recipe is made in hand or on any surface. Opening packages, pouring cereal and cutting bacon work straight from the inventory. Dough, slicing and baking prep need a table or counter nearby.

Two appliances join in. Brew Coffee runs at a Coffee Machine. Toast Bread runs at a Toaster.

The workstations these recipes run at.

Recipes


Everyday jobs come first. Open Canned Food, Open Canned Food with Blade and Open Ring-Pull Canned Food make tins edible. Slice Bread, Slice Ham and Slice Pizza split food into portions. Divide Food into 2 Bowls splits a cooked dish into bowls.

Butchering prep turns raw animals into cuts. Cut Up Chicken and Cut Up Turkey give legs, wings and fillets. Butcher Small Animal handles frogs, birds and mice. Make Bowl of Brain Tan prepares the bowl used at the Tannin Barrel.

Baking is the mid-game set. Prepare Bread Dough, Prepare Pie Dough, Make Cake Batter and Prepare Pizza make filling food from flour. Prepare Sugar Cookies and the other cookie recipes fill a baking tray.

Make Jar of Preserved Food packs garden vegetables or Fish Roe into jars. It is the highest unlock in the category.

Every recipe in the Cooking menu is listed with what it makes, what it uses up, the tools it hands back, the skill it asks for and where it is made. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned first. Each tab holds one kind of thing made.
