Introduction
A basic guide to the recipes and ingredients in the game, as of version 158.

I will endeavour to add new ones as the game gets more content.

NB - the main list of recipes comes from a Discussion post where one user had harvested them from the game files. I am simply organising this and adding a few extra bits of information in a guide as the discussion post is getting buried.
Cooking Stations
There are three cooking stations in the game:

  • the basic campfire - this has one cooking slot
  • the cooking station - this has three cooking slots
  • the oven - this has five cooking slots

The oven is unlocked through dismantling ones you find underwater (you'll need to have scuba gear and air tanks). The Sunken City is the best place, there's four in the burger restaurant (the building with the giant wooden burger sign on the roof), and at least one in the other buildings. There's also one in the Sunken Manor just off Shallow Sands.
Food Categories
Each food item has a type - this is shown as an icon on the bottom right of the info box when you hover over the item:

These are:
  • Meat (a drumstick)
  • Vegetable (a carrot)
  • Fruit (a berry)
  • Fish
  • Spicy (a chilli)
  • Salty (a salt shaker)
  • Sweet (a wrapped candy]
  • Miscellaneous

Many recipes simply require an ingredient of the right type, although some require a specific ingredient.

Lookieloo Soup: Lookie Loo, 2 of any vegetable. This recipe only turns into slop. There is a Lookie-Loo Curry but I have not figured that recipe out yet.

as some others here,I also have trouble pulling off the glazed fruits, it either ends up candied fruit or garbage.

Anyone having an issue with Fruited Candy ? Im using a Poconut and Sugar - it gives me Ice-cream, even if I put Sugar first. TIA

oh, and there's a tip for getting crab apples, 1. you can put the crab houses on CC beaches as well, and 2. when you want more crab apples, eat a crab snack and pick up and put back down the crab house and then you will be able to offer the crabs another snack to get more crab apples.
Hopefully they will make some improvements to how the crabs work in future.
