“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 into something edible. As you improve your skill, you will be able to prepare more complex recipes, increase the nutritional values of your meals, and make better use of scarce resources.
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.
