A note on ingredients: Herbs would be hugely beneficial as a forageable item as an additional way to train herbalism. From my understanding, basic herbs in Grandfather Clok were purchased items or grown from pots (correct me if I’m wrong). Until I have an idea of what Rias and Team would like to handle these, I’ve left them off. Once an idea is put forth, even tentatively, I’ll add them to this list and various recipes for future perusal. Or I might just go ahead and suggest them since that’s what this is all about; Suggesting things for cooking!

I’ve tried to limit expectations with these recipes based on what the average adventurer would have access to, hence why most of the recipes require simple skillets, skewers, pots and pans. Most of these, with few exceptions, should be cooked over an open fire (though I see no reason they couldn’t be cooked on a stove). Some of them are designed to be ingredients themselves for other recipes. All of this is to give room for advanced cooking to be done largely in the provided kitchens with the assumption that a character wouldn’t have easy access to all the utensils needed.
On the topic of kitchens, I see no reason why any proprietor would allow their kitchens and utensils to be used without some sort of kickback. I would suggest that they be as instanced worktables that are rentable, though I would further this with the inclusion of tasks that can be done in the service of those kitchens, in lieu of payment. The bakery, Hearth, Twin Daggers, and the Hanged Man (along with whatever places in Halloween Town) should all have useable kitchens and tasks associated with them (thank you, Silly). Bakery should request various types of doughs only (along with general janitorial tasks), while the others could be a variety of things. And now, Advanced Recipes (with an aptly named ability):

I’m positive there’s plenty more things to add to this list, and if any of you have some, please post! Keep in mind the genre that Rias is going for and keep these food staples relatively simple and use “new” (i.e. need to be created) ingredients sparingly. I’m sure it’s easier to modify existing items to work for these purposes than creating them brand new, but then again, I’m not a developer. I had a few other things I was going to use this portion of the suggestion for but at the moment I’m drawing a blank at what those were. If I remember, I’ll come back to it at a later time.
As always, a big thank you for everyone who helped on this list.
