Cooking
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.

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.
