Definition of a valid Pair: When we use the word ‘Pair’ in cooking a meal/recipe in this guide it must be a Base and Additive of two different ingredients that have a non-zero Duration when cooked as a Meal.

See below at the end of this guide for a Pair table you can copy and put on your User Page.

See below for a table of the Cooking Level costs.

TASK 1 – BECOME A COOK.

Find the cost to buy the Cooking skill ( Skills or run to any School of Worship and click the school) and purchase/learn Cooking Level 1. The School and University of Worship often deal with organic items like animals, food, herbs.

TASK 2 – COOK A MEAL.

Get 1 deben of 1 ingredient and go to the kitchen.

Possible Ingredients: ants (dead and queen), barley, cocoa, dates, eggs, fish, fish roe, grilled anything, herbs, honey, juices,
malts, meat, milk (camel or coconut), mushrooms, oil from camels or sheep or flax, salt, veggies, wheat.

Click kitchen.

Click Mix -> Add ingredient -> Click Cook. Oops, “You need at least 7 pieces of food in the pot to make a serving.”

Run back to storage and let’s rethink this.

INFO 1: You must use at least 7 debens of ingredients to make a meal.

Teppy loves 7. You still have 1 deben of 1 ingredient in the pot. So grab 6 deben more of the same ingredient and click Mix and add those. Click Cook. Give a fancy name for your simple meal. Look in your Main tab to see that “You complete the dish.”

Click kitchen and choose “Enjoy the food.” Look at your Stats under your Skills tab. You will see that your stats were not changed by this meal and the message in Main states, “You eat a bit, but the food doesn’t really do anything for you.” What happened? Whenever you put in 7 deben or more of only one type of ingredient (and no other ingredients), for example 7 dates as the only ingredient, the result will be 0 in all stats for that dish. So what to try next and why?

INFO 2: You need a Base type of ingredient and an Additive type of ingredient which is commonly called a Pair. Technically you can use 1 Base ingredient per level of cooking (explained later).


INFO 3:  Every multiple of 7 debens of ingredients gives one serving. 

Why cook in multiples of 7 debens? What happens if you put in 15 debens of Base and 4 debens of Additive? You get two servings from this since 14 debens is the highest multiple of 7 that is less than 19. You waste 5 debens of ingredients.

INFO 4:  We commonly break down the pairs of 7 debens into a quantity of 6 deben  Base ingredient and 1 deben  Additive ingredient .  
The Base of the pair will be the ingredient with the highest quantity.

Why 6 and 1? Because we want to use the highest amount of the cheap ingredient and the least amount of the rarer ingredient. But you can use any combo that adds up to 7 such as 5 deben Base and 2 deben Additive or 4 deben Base and 3 deben Additive.
