.: Help for cooking (skill)

Cooking is the art of preparing food and meals. A well-prepared meal can
restore health, boost stamina, or steady the mind. Adventurers depend on good
food to sustain them through hardship. The skill is governed by
Perception, since proper taste and balance matter more than brute force.

━━━ Requirements ━━━

  Station:   A hearth must be in the room with you.
             The Kitchen is located in Startland.
  Materials: Fresh ingredients from foraging, hunting, and vendors.
             Find them on the ground in the Kitchen or loot from mobs.

━━━ Known Recipes ━━━

━━━ Using Meals ━━━

Crafted meals are used with the eat command:

  eat meal

They apply their effect immediately. Check inventory to see what you
are carrying, and conditions to see active effects.

━━━ Skill Progression ━━━

Cooking improves through use. Each completed cook attempt (success or failure)
has a chance to advance the skill. Cooking progresses faster per use than
combat skills because crafting opportunities are less frequent.

There is no trainer for cooking — practice is the only teacher.
