Cooking

“When we no longer have good cooking in the world, we will have no literature, nor high and sharp intelligence, nor friendly gatherings, no social harmony.” – Marie-Antoine Carême, Le Cuisinier parisien (1828)

Cooking processes raw materials down into something edible, turning ingredients into foodstuffs that produce far better hunger satiation and nutritional values than eating them raw.
At higher levels, and with the right facilities, cooks can further refine ingredients into their own unique dishes, gaining much greater control over these values within our Gastronomy System.
Getting Started
You will need a set of Cooking Tools, ingredients, and sometimes a source of heat, to begin your culinary journey. As you improve your skill, you will be able to prepare more complex recipes, increase the nutritional value of your meals, and make better use of scarce resources.
Starting at 25% Skill, you gain more detailed information when examining ingredients and prepared dishes. Hovering over an item will reveal more about its nutritional value, effects, and potential uses.
Gastronomy
At 50% skill, you unlock Gastronomy, the advanced art of creating custom cuisines. Gastronomy lets you combine ingredients into your own unique dishes.
- 50% Skill: Combine up to 2 ingredients.
- 75% Skill: Combine up to 3 ingredients.
