Direct answer

You cook from harvested ingredients at your kitchen stations (cooker, later stove). Recipes can require exact ingredients plus flexible slots, and cooking unlocks further recipes as your reputation grows.

How to unlock recipes

Recipes unlock through reputation, clubs, shops and quests — see recipes/how-to-unlock for the full model. The stove upgrade is a commonly reported blocker (see troubleshooting).

What Can I Cook finder

The finder filter — by ingredients on hand, plant, unlock source and reputation — is built into this page so it never splits into a separate tool URL. It ships once the cookbook passes its verification threshold.

Evidence note

The 40+ recipe count is official. Individual recipes are verified one by one in the Cookbook Sweep; unverified dishes stay listed as pending, never guessed.

MIXED

Existing recipe pages admit the 1.0 cookbook is incomplete — that gap is this database's job. Sources are labelled per recipe.

Steam store

Recipe entities only get standalone URLs when they clear the Recipe Entity Gate. Everything else stays in this hub.
