From the basics of cooking to achieving the flavor bonus, here’s everything you must know about cooking in Tales of the Shire.How to cook in Tales of the Shire
To make a dish, enter your kitchen and choose “start cooking.” You can select any recipe you’ve unlocked, as long as you have the required ingredients. Tales of the Shire’s fishing, foraging, and gardening activities will get you more fish, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seasonings. Meat, flour, barley, milk, and any other ingredient listed as “miscellaneous” in the encyclopedia must be bought from a store. To unlock additional recipes, organize Shared Meals with the Townsfolk and satisfy their cravings or serve their preferred flavor.
Once you’ve chosen a recipe, it’s time to select the ingredients. The recipe may ask for a specific ingredient, such as rhubarb, or an ingredient type, such as a vegetable. In case of the latter, you can select any vegetable in your inventory, be it rhubarb, lettuce, or cucumber.
Try to select ingredients with a high deliciousness score; if you use ingredients with more stars, the dish will receive more stars as well. The more delicious the dish, the more friendship experience you’ll receive when you serve it to your friends. Depending on the total number of ingredients in the recipe, every additional ingredient star will roughly translate to ¼ or ? of a deliciousness star in the final dish. Based on ingredients alone, a dish can receive up to three stars.
