I'm having trouble with cooking.

[Paratech2008]

I managed to make the cooking pot, but I don't see any recipes and I can't cook anything. I tried to do an early recipe, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Did you make the cooking set from Petra's document?

[Paratech2008]

Thanks, it (the document) doesn't show up anymore. I can't find the recipes I was given either.

You should be able to access your recipe book when you interact with the cooking station.

[Paratech2008]

It's empty.

That sounds incredibly weird. Have you tested reloading a savefile from a few days back in the game? If you use the "load" feature on the title screen, you should be able to go back around 10 in-game days.

I'm sure you've already tried verifying the game files. If neither of those things work, please make a bug report in the bug report forum. Can't imagine what's wrong if the savefile isn't broken.

The cookbook is empty until you start experimenting with cooking and make a successful dish and then that recipe will be added to your cookbook, if you don't want to try to figure out what ingredients to add look on the wiki, all the recipes are listed there.

But 2 quests gave me recipes and 1 disappeared. The fish chowder recipe I haven't tried yet.

The one I 'lost' was for some fruit pastry.

If you are talking about the fish porridge for the Hulu brother when I had that quest he told me what ingredients to use and when I made it the recipe was added to my book, the book was empty before that.

Did you actually make the fruit pastry for the mission?
Try making it again and see if it gets added to your book, egg, milk, fruit.

I have the cooking pot. I put an egg, milk, fruit into it. I had it cook the ingredients. I received wasted food which made my character sick.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you have the items in your hot bar to add fairly rapidly and then a couple seconds later press E to cook, I think the timing is as important as the right ingredients.

Ok, I'll try that thanks.
