Cooking and recipes
Cooking lets you carry food to restore energy while away from home. To begin, you need a usable Kitchen Table and Kitchen Oven in your house. The kitchen repair guide covers the materials and fuel setup.
Make your first food
Section titled “Make your first food”




- Repair the Broken Kitchen Table and Broken Oven.
- Check the dish at the Kitchen Table. Use it to prepare ingredients or food that does not need heating.
- Move any prepared ingredient that needs baking to the Kitchen Oven. Keep Firewood stocked in a Firewood shed I so the oven has fuel.
- Collect the finished food and use it from your inventory when you need energy.
For
Bread, process

Flour first, mix with
Water into
Dough, then bake in
Kitchen Oven. The complete quantities, stations and unlocks are in the table below.
Find more recipes
Section titled “Find more recipes”

Repairing the kitchen does not unlock every dish. Keep advancing quests and speaking to characters. For example, the fishing objective involving
Herm ends with him offering recipes, and the guards at the forest campfire can teach new food after their food request. Later, the Fisherman offers a recipe in exchange for a sea fish.
Use the quest journal to identify the next character and handoff. These rewards belong to different quest lines, so you do not need to complete all of them before making basic food.
Cooking technologies and unlocks
Section titled “Cooking technologies and unlocks”Recipes require the correct workstation, technology and mastery. The table also includes milling and bread prerequisites, so you can trace a missing dish back through its unlock chain.
