'''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 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.
