Subject: Hangin' out in the kitchen

Posted by: FatherSteve
Date: Dec 18 18

Today, after decades of waiting, I was rewarded with one portion of Turkey in my Author's Kitchen pantry and quickly turned it into Turkey Pot Pie. There were/are 159 "recipes" provided, all of which are now completed, and there is a wee legend at the bottom of the list which says "There are at least another 11 dishes that can be created here, if you can work out what is needed."

The page that answers the question "Who has made the most dishes?" says I have made 173, which makes sense, because a number of those are ones for which no recipe was provided on the aforementioned list and which I simply made up.

This leaves me with 349 ingredients, most of which I don't know what do with. Is there some point at which further recipes will be revealed or am I just supposed to guess which 11 could be made of those 349 items or what?

Ah, I should make my wishes public more often, butter magically appeared after I cashed in my 3 questions. Thank you!
Now, on for caramel, another rarity! :)

I've found that submitting 3 questions makes some of the scarcer ingredients show up.

To make caramel, just take some of the sugar of which you have an hyperabundance, put it in a tall pan, heat it until it turns golden and add a bit of cream and butter to it. Voila! Caramel. Or doesn't it work that way?

My kitchen is sadly lacking in cooking facilities for independent crafting.

Well, I could have given you seaweed any time, if you had placed caramel on the trading table.

But seaweed is no good w/o soy sauce, and I haven't seen that condiment in months. :(

Yay! Thank you! I'm so glad I read this, I've needed seaweed for ages!

Pity we can't trade, I have lots of soy sauce.

Yes it is a pity. I could also use sugar. I have three or four items that have three ingredients done, but lack sugar!!!

If anyone else has been waiting for months and months to get hold of some Swiss cheese, today is their lucky day. I cleared three longstanding recipes from my cookbook. :)

Does anyone know how many ingredients there are? I have 110 different ones, and check the market each day to see if there is something I don't have on offer. This is a waste of time if there aren't any! I could then go back to only checking when I am missing something from a recipe. Then again, I might miss out on a new delivery of fresh ingredients. So much to do, so little time!

I am 7 shy of you LT, I only have 103 on my page, so cannot answer you

There are 103 Ingredients needed to make the 400 recipes. Once you have completed your 400 they still accumulate. I have 27 Beef, 22 Sugar... I even have a stockpile of the new ingredients 8 Kale, 8 Mustard and that does not count the 218 uncashed credits for single questions. Really hoping one day i might use them on new recipes.

I have 1026 of the 103 ingredients waiting to be turned into something nummie.

I recommend that the following be added:
asparagus
barley
blue cheese
buckwheat flour
cashews
chives
feta
frog legs
horseradish
ketchup
lentils
maple syrup
octopus
papaya
parsnip
pine nuts (pignoli)
plantain
plums
sausages
snails
tahini
tofu
tomatillos
vanilla
wasabi

I'd also be willing to work with trident, bless our originator, in coming up with new dishes into which these various goodies could be turned.

Clearly, I counted one of the rows of seven ingredients twice as I was scrolling around on my small screen, so I have 103. With at least two of each, there is really no point planning for trades. But I do have plenty of dishes not yet cooked.

And today I see them in rows of ten - fewer rows, less scrolling, and no mental arithmetic required to work out how many are showing!

LOL! You guys with all these ingredients are killing me! I would just love to get my hands on something simple like sugar. And I'm going to come up with a word that defines the feeling of anticipation and then regret/shock when you are SURE you have made a new, unique combination and nothing happens.

I've only got one hidden recipe left. What's the best way to find the hidden recipes? Checking the Crazed Chef's suggestions?

Kankurette, I would keep checking with him, yes. I think the game's been around long enough that you could also crosscheck your dishes with a team member to see what you are missing, and it wouldn't be a problem.

As for creating new dishes, it is a possibility in the future, but not likely the near future. I've also approached Terry with a couple of ideas for using ingredients outside of creating dishes, but these are pretty low priority when it comes to adding things to the site right now.
