There are two different methods of cooking something. The most basic is to take some raw food you have, sticking it in a frying pan or skillet and simply cook it where there is some sort of cooking fire present. You can throw various cooking herbs and spices like rosemary and mint in with the food to flavor it. Some of these herbs can foraged in the wilderness, others must be bought.

The second method is more complicated and lets you make a variety of food types, including pies and stews. The steps are outlined below.

You can also roast meat on skewers over a fire.

To make a skewer, get a small branch, carve it once to remove the bark, and carve skewer. This only takes one step and will give no woodworking skills (there's no chance to fail, either)

Once you have a skewer, you can use the new verb skewer to skewer whole fish or chunks of meat (not strips of a filet). You can have multiple pieces of meat on one skewer. Cook skewer over an appropriate cooking fire. Once that is done, you can remove meat from skewer one at a time. Skewers have limited uses, but they aren't hard to make. Once it has been burnt beyond use, you can add skewer to campfire, if you want.

Once the meat is cooked, you can then cut it into strips or a filet.

Steps

Pie

  • You will need to purchase a pie pan and pie crust. These are currently available in Keth in the Tools of the Trade wagon.
  • You will need to choose if you are making a fruit pie or a meat pie and have the appropriate ingredients.
  • Typically for a fruit pie you need a type of fruit and some other flavor (like cinnamon or walnuts), or two types of fruit. For a meat pie you will need some type of meat, stock, and three vegetables, which may or may not be the same type. If you don't have any stock, water can be substituted if you are in a room with water available.
  • You put all the ingredients in the pie tin and cook.

Stew

  • You will need to purchase a pot. These are currently available in Keth in the Tools of the Trade wagon.
  • There are two types of stew, hearty and basic.
  • Hearty stews require stock, some type of meat, and three vegetables. A basic stew requires stock, meat, and pasta.
  • You put all the ingredients in the pot and cook.

Notes

You can cook multiple chunks of meat or fish at once, based on what fits into your frying pan. This is not the case for the more complicated recipes.

Cookables

This is an incomplete list of some of the ingredients available to be put in pies and stews:

  • Pumpkins, strawberries, blueberries, apples, peaches, emberberries, thornberries, apricots, figs
  • Cinnamon, walnuts, rhubarb
  • Corn, potatoes, carrots, peas, onions
