'''Cooking''' is a game mechanic that becomes available after upgrading the [[farmhouse]] for the first time. The house upgrade adds a kitchen, which includes a stove and a refrigerator. The stove is the cooking interface, while the refrigerator provides 36 slots of storage space, similar to a [[chest]]. The refrigerator is unique in that it is directly linked with the cooking interface, as if it were an extension of the player's inventory. Only [[Cooking#Ingredients|ingredients]] in the player's inventory, refrigerator or [[Mini-Fridge]] are seen as usable items for a [[Cooking#Recipes|recipe]].

The player must learn each recipe before it is unlocked for cooking. Locked recipes are displayed as a black silhouette of the recipe icon, with a tooltip description that says "???." Unlocked recipe icons will appear greyed-out if any of the ingredients are missing, but the tooltip will provide information regarding the recipe. Any missing ingredients will be highlighted in red. If all the ingredients required for a recipe are present either in the player's inventory or the refrigerator (or a combination of the two) the recipe icon will become fully highlighted.
Alternatively, after reaching [[Foraging]] level 3 the player can use a [[Cookout Kit]] to cook anywhere.

==Buffs==
==Buffs==
Only one food’s [[buffs]] can be active at a time, so eating a food with buffs will wipe out any active food buffs and replace them with the buffs from the newly eaten food. If a newly eaten food has no buffs, any existing buffs will remain in effect. Drink buffs are handled separately, so buffs from one drink ([[Triple Shot Espresso]], [[Coffee]], [[Green Tea]] or [[Ginger Ale]]) can be stacked with one food’s buffs.

Buff duration varies for each food and drink (see [[#Recipes|table below]])<ref name="processtime"/>, but is the same for all buff effects of a given food or drink, except [[Squid Ink Ravioli]]. Using [[#Qi Seasoning|Qi Seasoning]] increases the duration by 50%.

==Qi Seasoning==
[[Qi Seasoning]], which can be purchased from [[Qi's Walnut Room]] for {{Price|10|gem}} for a stack of ten, makes cooked food Gold quality, increasing its health and energy values by 80% and its sell price by 50%. It will also increase the buffs given (excluding [[Speed]] buffs) by one level. For example, [[Seafoam Pudding]] would give +5 fishing rather than +4 if cooked with Qi Seasoning. It will be used automatically if it is in inventory, the refrigerator, or a [[Mini-Fridge]] when cooking. Running out of Qi Seasoning will result in a message saying: "You've used up all of your Qi Seasoning."

These tables assume you will use crafted dishes to make other crafted dishes. For example, you will use 1 [[Potato]] to make [[Hashbrowns]], then use those Hashbrowns to make [[Complete Breakfast]]. You will then need 1 more Potato to make Hashbrowns for [[Dish o' The Sea]]. When you are finished, you will have earned the Gourmet Chef achievement for cooking every dish, but you will not end up with any Hashbrowns because you used them to make the other dishes.

However, for maximum profit, it is ''always'' better to process ingredients in a [[Preserves Jar]], [[Keg]], [[Mayonnaise Machine]], or [[Cheese Press]].
The only noteworthy exceptions are [[Algae Soup]] (+{{price|40}}), [[Pale Broth]] (+{{price|100}}), [[Roots Platter]] with regular quality winter root (+{{price|5}}), and also [[Sashimi]] for low tier fish, since cooking is the only way to process algae, cave carrots, winter root and fish. Aside from these four recipes cooking for profit only becomes attractive if your ingredient production greatly exceeds your processing capacity.

==Notes==
==Notes==
<section begin="ingredientorder" /><!--Transcluded on the Mini-Fridge page-->
* Preparing a recipe that requires an unspecific item (''e.g.'', [[Maki Roll]], requiring any fish) can use up an ingredient that is specifically required for another recipe (''e.g.'', [[Trout Soup]], requiring [[Rainbow Trout]]). This can sometimes be prevented simply by cooking the Trout Soup before the Maki Roll. However, every recipe searches for ingredients first in the player's inventory, in order, last slot to first, and then in the refrigerator, last slot to first. Place your generic fish items in the last slots of your inventory and your specific items in places searched later. Then the recipes you cook will use those items instead of any alternatives.
* Every recipe searches for ingredients in the following locations, always in the same order from the ''bottom right'' slot to the top left slot:
#first in the player's inventory
#then in the main refrigerator
#finally in any [[Mini-Fridge|Mini-Fridges]]
* When auto-sorted with the Organize button, this bottom-right-first order will automatically consume lower quality items of the same type. However, for recipes with substitutes, place ingredients accordingly as desired towards the bottom right, in order to avoid using more valuable ingredients in less valuable recipes, or in recipes that accept a wide variety of ingredients. As an example, [[Tuna]] (which is required for [[Fish Taco]]) is accepted in [[Sashimi]] which accepts any type of fish. However, by placing a [[Mussel]] in the bottom right slot, the Mussel will be picked first and save the Tuna for the more exclusive and valuable recipe.
* When searching multiple [[Mini-Fridge]]s, the game picks from the last placed one in the exact chronological order in which the fridges were first placed, and then works backwards. The location of the fridge in the farmhouse does not matter.
