To start place 2 [[botanised Items]] and 2 [[foraged items]] (excluding onions, garlic, and some nuts: some may help 'cook' a casserole yet won't be consumable once casserole is done; ie. nuts) in a [[pottery bowl]]. Examine [[pottery bowl]] as you add items to determine that it will make a casserole, it will also tell you the difficulty of the dish. Once you are ready to finalize your dish put the pottery bowl into a [[stone oven]], [[stone forge]], or [[campfire]] until the casserole is cooked.
