An Easy Food Reference

A quick reference guide for the easiest, money-saving recipes.

Short Intro

I've played far too much of this game since it came out, and the main frustrations I've had have been maintaining good food and fuel levels (and nails, but hopefully that'll be fixed sooner rather than later).

This is less of a guide, and more of a reference sheet to pull up so you can see what recipes can be made with limited/no fuel or shop-only items. This should hopefully help you save on money.

Notes and Closing

I will mention that you can hire staff later in the game to cook for you without the use of ingredients.
While it saves a ton of hassle, it can also be pretty expensive, which is part of why I made this whole reference.

Also, there are some recipes that produce 2 meals per recipe. As far as I know, there's no obvious way to check which are without testing each of them, but let me know!

I hope this helps some people save some money/headaches in their playthroughs.

Thanks for the handy cheatsheet :) It looks like you forgot spinach stromboli though (needs cheese & flour from the store + 4 fuel and grants 8 points)

Hey this is great, I hired Julia as soon as humanly possible because it was driving me insane. Could someone smarter than me add/describe the best value for money per meal points please? Like the highest points you can get for the least amount of travelling and shopping :)

[Vodka Drunkenski]

The plum Schnaps recipe gave me 3 meals per recipe, if I remember right.

Thank you so much!!

By all means, Maz, go for it! I thought about doing it myself, but I already 100%ed the game, so I uninstalled lol.

This is so helpful! Would it be ok for me to either expand this further in another guide such as adding images and including the other ingredients in the recipes? i'm much more of visual when it comes to processing information

[Meximo]

Great reference guide. I just took screenshots of the recipes and made a "cookbook" this is SO much better. Thanks!

It seems that the teas and drinks are two for ones. I have not found foods that two for one yet.
