Any character may try their hand at the art of cookery. One simply combines between two and four ingredients and hopefully sees tasty results. Some recipes will require a heat source or a toolkit to produce a delicious meal.
Each specific combination of items will produce only one result; should preparation fail no ingredients will be consumed. One may attempt cooking with any sort of item, not just type food-- emphasis on attempt. It is unlikely any preparation will actually allow you to eat your hat.
Recipes may be discovered in cookbooks throughout the world, or one may use trial and error to create your own!

Bandor Hand-Pies
The Bandor hand-pie is a common mid-day meal of the working class. Portable and nutritious, the hand-pie has sustained many an Iron Sreet laborer. This recipe is from the late Agneta Plun, grandmother to the city's blacksmith.
Bring together over a fire, with cooking kit:
- Flour
- Beef
- Potato
- Onion
command : cook flour beef potato onion
"Make a mixture of chopped beef, potato, and onion, and fry it in a little oil. Add to this what herbs you may desire. Season this with salt. Make a ball from biscuit dough and flatten into a circle. Place the mixture into one half of the circle, and fold the dough over the mix. Bake in an oven until it is pleasing. Let cool a while and serve it forth." -- Mrs Plun
