Please note this Guide is a Work in Progress.
 == Welcome to cooking Cooking with Blacklotus ==
==== The Tools of the Trade ====
[[Knife]], [[Spoon]], [[Fork]], [[Mortar and pestle]], [[Butchering Knife]], [[Measuring jug]], [[Grindstone]]
'''Extra notes: Baking stone and Mortar and Pestle both require marble to create. If you're a new player or don't have marble available I strongly suggest asking in trade or freedom for marble or these items to get you going. If you do have marble available you can mine that at any skill level and attempt to make one or both of these valuable tools. You don't absolutely require them but I strongly suggest getting one or both if you have the chance.'''
== Tutorial ==
3 Cereals
1 Mushroom
5-10 Herbs(At most 2 of any kind of Herb)
1 Berry
5-10 Vegetables(At most 2 of any kind of Vegetable)
1 piece of Meat or 1 Fish.
==== Recipe 1: Bread ====
 
'''(Because this requires a baking stone if you do not have one you can skip this recipe and an alternative will be provided below.)'''
The first step in cooking is learning how the different processes work. In this Recipe you learn about preparing basic ingredients before turning them into a final product, and you will be learning about 'lore'.
For our purposes we will be using a campfire for all of our cooking recipes.
To begin with, you will take your grindstone and make it the active item. With it you'll right click one of the grains Cereals you got ready earlier and create Flour.
The next step is turning flour into Dough. This is accomplished by using water in your inventory on the Flour and create -> Dough.
In Recipe 2: Casserole (Bread) we will be looking at the layout of a common recipe, and the different things involved in it.
 
'''(If you did not have the baking stone and skipped Recipe 1: Bread. Please switch to using the recipe 'Casserole (Herb)' instead and simply do not include the bread.)'''
To start open your cookbook and find Casserole (bread) it will show the following:
Any: Any herb
As you can see from the recipe it tells you what cookers you can cook a meal in, what kind of container it requires to be cooked in and you can see a few other areas that I will explain. When an ingredient is Mandatory, it means that ingredient must be inside the container to cook that recipe. One or more, means you need at least 1 of those listed items inside the container, but you can have more up to the limit of what the container will hold. Optional here is showing we could add one Salt, but we're not required too, Lastly it shows we can add any herb. For this recipe, we will be using 1 Cereal, 1 Mushroom, 1 Berry, 5 Vegetables and 5 herbsHerbs and one Bread. Your Vegetables and Herbs should all be different. You don't want to use more than 1 of an ingredient with the exact same name in most cases. To begin, add all of your ingredients listed above into a Pottery Bowl in your inventory and right click it as you did with the Baking Stone and find the 'Lore' option. You will take your knife and right click on each Vegetable and each Herb and your mushroom to chop them.  Once all your items are chopped add them to a pottery bowl in your inventory and check 'Lore' one more time.  The ingredients in the pottery bowl would make a bread casserole when cooked. You will very likely get the same message as before, so you might be wondering why chop or prepare the ingredients before cooking the Casserole? When cooking, you're aiming for making food that is satisfying which fills your hunger bar and your [[Ccfp]], as well as raising your nutrition levels. This is what preparing ingredients does, it increases the quality of those things without spending more resources to feed yourself. Once an ingredient is processed it becomes a different item with a different name. For instance Pea Pods. Once chopped this items name becomes 'Chopped Pea Pods' and it has undergone one step in being cooked. In practice, having the same ingredient, in this example Pea Pods, you could add Pea Pods, Mashed Pea Pods and Chopped Pea Pods to the same dish and each ingredient would be considered 'unique'. This matters for the quality of your meal that ingredients be considered unique. To finish this tutorial please place your filled Pottery bowl into a lit Campfire and allow the Bread Casserole to cook. Check out your cookbook for other kinds of casserole.  You have completed Recipe 2: Casserole. ==== Recipe 3: Meals ==== Welcome to Recipe 3: Meals. In Previous Lessons you learned how to create more valuable ingredients from things found throughout Wurm Online. You have learned how to use 'Lore' to check your recipes and learned how an ingredient is prepared matters.  To Continue this lesson it is suggested you have a minimum [[Hot food cooking]] skill of 10. Meals cook at your skill level and food under 10ql is generally not edible.  To begin, you will need to chop your Remaining 5 Vegetables and Herbs. These can be added to a Frying Pan as well as your remaining loaf of bread and continue to the next step. In the beginning I asked you to collect either 1 piece of Meat, or 1 Fish. Look into your cookbook and find Meal. In the known cookbook you'll see 3 different recipes, Meal (Meat), Meal (Fish), and Meal (fish fillet) You have the tools to create each one of these recipes. Meat can be processed like veggies, by dicing it, and then once it's Diced Meat, you can process that into Minced Meat in the same way. For Fish, you don't have to do anything extra, but if your fish is large enough, you can use a butchering knife to fillet it. Fish Fillet can be chopped.  Once you've chosen your desired recipe follow the same steps as when we made casserole. Add your chosen protein into the frying pan and use lore to check your meal. Once it's showing your chosen meal, place the frying pan into the lit campfire to cook it. You have completed Recipe 3: Meals. = Notes = Improving your cooking pans and tools will help in producing higher quality results. The benefit is small but when it comes to feeding yourself for the first time, every bit helps.
==== Recipe 3: Meal ====There are many recipes in Wurm Online. The Author has so far discovered over 649 recipes and suspects there to be more. Each one can be made many different ways. Even the recipes listed above can use other ingredients not mentioned there are loads of things to discover in your cooking journey. Experiment, try things, have fun and may you find all the nutrition your looking for.
