Cooking

NOTE: This article is about the skill. See Cooking for Dummies to learn to cook. See the Cooking Guide for strategies on creating Cooking Recipes. See tale9/Cooking_Recipes for information on Base Pairs.

The cooking skill permits you to cook meals in a Kitchen that is equipped with a Clay Cookpot or Iron Pot. Level 0 allows you to cook meals with one base ingredient. Each subsequent level allows for an additional base ingredient, up to 7 base ingredients at level 6. Each base ingredient can be joined with one or more additive ingredients. All base ingredients must have the same number of items, and their matching additives must have fewer items. Cooking with pairs (ie, one additive per base) is the most common case as that makes it easier to avoid unintended interactions between additives, so you will frequently see references to 'ingredient pairs'.

IMPORTANT: Please eat sink food before you eat any other meal to help preserve the potency of other ingredients.

For Tale 11, 48 Garlic 1 Onions is the Sink Food. If you need more than the 7 servings increase the amount of Garlic only. Currently, we are doing a sinkfest to drive up potencies.
