TL:DR

Browned Onions, cook for 30 seconds

Mussel Sauce, cook for 5 minutes

Softened Celery, cook for 30 seconds

Eastern Stir Fry, cook for 2 minutes
Mussel Sauce
Browned Onions
Softened Celery
Carrot
Meat

I embarrassingly forgot my password and had to make a second account to post on the BBS. Rest in Piece, Dennis's main account.

Let's talk about a framework for Complex Dishes using Eastern Stir Fry as an example.

There are a few essential ingredients to Eastern Cooking.
1. Oyster Sauce
2. MSG
3. Salt
4. Sugar
5. Oil.

The cooking process in Exiles really refines down the cooking process - there's no additives needed a the current version of cooking. But I would say for complex dishes like "Eastern Stir Fry" it would be a little more involved. Because salt, sugar, oil, and MSG are all variable things based on the chef, and Exiles already nixes the need to control or measure out additives like those, we're going to exclude those as necessary ingredients - perhaps they already exist in the kitchen and are a part of the cooking time, unmentioned. The only key additive to a style of complex cooking is mussel sauce, which is a staple of this style of cooking that imparts the particular flavor.

The difference between what I consider 'an immersion step' and a rewarding/cooking step.
I consider anything that requires cook time to be something that would be rewarding in terms of cooking experience, and something that's an immersion step a mechanically necessary step for immersion purposes that isn't skill based (even though reality says that there is no such thing as a non-skill based cooking task.)

Immersion/Mechanical tasks: slicing meat into strips, chopping a vegetable into manageable sizes.
Rewarding/Cooking tasks: A recipe, such as browning onions to caramelize them, or cooking tough celery on a pan to soften the fibers. Boiling down mussels and seasoning the resulting sauce.

To break down a 10 minute boring timer where nothing happens, we can make each step of a complex dish a cooking step.

Example:
Browned Onions (A cooking product)
Softened Celery (A cooking product)
Carrot
Mussel Sauce (A cooking product)
Meat

1. Cut a raw meat chunk into meat strips. This is a raw ingredient and gives more reason for a chef to want to own a knife. We can also forgo this and just use whole meat chunks as an ingredient.
2. Cook mussels down into a mussel sauce. This is an ingredient for Eastern Cooking, which could be a subcategory on its own.
3. Brown onions. This would be an ingredient for many complex dishes.
4. Soften celery. This is an important step before you add your meat, which cooks relatively quickly due to being sliced thinly.
5. Cut your carrots. Dice'em or slice'em, this is just an immersion step. We cal also forgo it and just require whole carrots as an ingredient.

If you make finished ingredients the required ingredient list for a complex dish like Eastern Stir Fry, you wouldn't need to create a lengthy several minute long wait timer to pad the complexity of a dish out, and the chef can feel involved in every step of the process. This doesn't dramatically alter or change the existing cooking structure either, as it simply replaces a "raw ingredient" with a "finished product".

An optional step to heat up a cast iron salamander to toast the top of the macaroni would be great.


Separate to this, being able to slice bread and toast it in a toasting rack would be nice. Toast could then be BUTTERed.

Mix dry ingredients, add milk, knead dough lightly. Bake for 35 minutes if being realistic, bake for 5 minutes if attempting to not make a person want to die from baking.

Roasted Turnip
- Butter
- Turnips
- Thyme
- Honey
- Salt
- Garlic
Chop off turnip greens. Halve the turnips. Melt butter. Put turnips in roasting pan. Combine butter, honey, salt, garlic, thyme. Pour/paint butter mixture over turnips. Bake.

Sauteed Turnip Greens
- Turnip Greens
- Butter
- Garlic (minced)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Lemon Juice
Mince garlic. Add butter and garlic to skillet. Cook until garlic is browned. Add turnip greens and turn gently until dark and limp. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper.

Lemon Juice:
- Lemon
Halve lemon. Crush lemon in bowl to extract juice. Store.

Someone decided to include Baking Powder in a recipe (how dare they!), so I guess we need that as well. Any recipe you want to use Baking Soda for you can just add 3x Baking Powder instead. If you add Baking Powder I can go back through and edit previous recipe ideas to include it where necessary.

Baking Powder/Pearlash:
- Ash (from elm, beech, or maple)
Soak ash in water to make lye. Drain lye solution. Put remaining ash sludge in pot and boil to remove water resulting in potash. Fire potash in kiln to remove impurities resulting in Pearlash. (Pearlash when combined with lemon, sour milk, or honey from recipes would cause bubbles and allow the product to rise).

Bumping this thread since a new one got started recently in case it wasn't seen. There's a lot of recipes here to look over as well in case they spark new suggestions from people. It's nice to see recipe suggestions using mostly what's already in-game though for sure :)

It seems like a lot of store-bought food options were recently removed. Are there plans for player-made alternatives to be released soon?
