Welcome to cooking with Blacklotus
The Tools of the Trade
The First thing you'll need to do any form of cooking is a 'cooker' It will show up first in recipes when required. There are 3 cookers in the game:
The Oven. This is your primary cooker and most recipes that need a cooker can be cooked in the oven.
The Forge. While not a traditional way of cooking food, the bit of extra slag from the forge helps raise difficulty of cooked items when available as a cooker.
The Campfire. Not well known as a cooker, there are many recipes that use the campfire as their primary cooker. It can add difficulty to your recipe if available.
Once you have a cooker, the next thing you'll see in a recipe is a Container.
The following items can all be considered containers.
Frying Pan, Sauce pan, Cauldron, Pottery Bowl, Baking stone, Cake tin, Roasting dish, Pie dish
Finally we have tools that manipulate our ingredients. You can find a more complete list here: cooking utensils
Knife, Spoon, Fork, Mortar and pestle, Butchering Knife, Measuring jug, Grindstone
Getting Prepared
I am going to ask you to follow along with me as we cook 3 basic recipes. Bread, Casserole and Finally, a Meal. You will need to gather the following items and ingredients.
Tools:
Frying Pan, Pottery Bowl, Grindstone, Knife and finally a Baking Stone. (the crafting recipes for these are in your crafting menu. If you have trouble finding marble to craft a baking stone ask in your freedom chat or check your local market for one.)
Ingredients:
3 grains
1 mushroom
5-10 Herbs
1 berry
5-10 Vegetables
1 piece of meat or 1 fish.
The Grains, Mushrooms, Herbs, Berry and Vegetables can all be found through Foraging and botanizing. Check those pages if you need help finding those ingredients.
Recipe 1: Bread
For this you'll need the Grindstone and the Baking stone, as well as water and a campfire.
First, take 2 of your Grains and you'll use the Grindstone with them to produce Flour.
Use your newly created Flour with water to create Dough, and finally put 1 Dough into your baking stone and put it inside the campfire.
Many recipes rely on being inside one of a cooker that is lit to complete their cooking process.
Repeat these steps until you have 2 pieces of bread.
