Cooking and You
The Basics
Cooking is done by putting ingredients on a table and checking on what you can cook through crafting! (Click the crafting button in the bottom-middle-right of the screen). Certain types of dishes also allow you to make custom food (pies, cakes, ...) by directly adding ingredients to the dish (Simply click on the dish while holding the food you wish to add.)
You'll need the processor or microwave, a beaker, a knife, and a rolling pin to prepare some raw ingredients (e.g. mix flour & water to get dough). Check the cookbook on the kitchen table for more info.
The main tools used for cooking are the food processor and microwave. While the exact use of each is hard to know without the Guide to Food. Always remember that the microwave functions as both an oven and a microwave. Micro characters should not try to swim in the microwaves from the microwave.
See the Guide to food for a list of recipes, and what tools you shall require to bring thy wonderful creations to existence. Most recipes are completed by crafting; place all your ingredients next to you, and open the crafting window.
To serve your food, you can use the table that faces the main hallway, serve patrons in person with your food cart, or even add your superior creations to vending machines. You can work with the Bartender to serve patrons in the bar but try to avoid getting your foodstuff covered in an unusually thick cream.
You got a license for that knife, m8?
The knife and the rolling pin on your table are invaluable in making food. You can cut cheese with a knife, slice foods like pizza and cakes, and prepare other foodstuffs. Some animals can be butchered with the knife as well, giving out a handful of raw meat. The rolling pin, meanwhile, is used to flatten certain ingredients, such as dough, and the cheeks of annoying crewmembers.
Ingredients Boxes
Besides the basics that your kitchen is initially stocked with, you will start the ability to call in for a selected box filled with unique ingredients. The box should contain enough ingredients for you to get started before your botany buddies.

| Fiesta | 1 tortilla, 2 corn, 2 soybeans, 2 chili |

Hydroponics
Your neighbor, hydroponics, is a necessity for you to make most recipes. Take a look at the window early on and see if any botanists are working, and if there aren't any inside, wait a bit for one to be sent on the arrivals shuttle or go in there yourself! Good things to ask the botanists for to start with are wheat, tomatoes, and potatoes. These three plants are used commonly in recipes, and after you ask botany for those you can ask them for other plants when they need to be used in a recipe.
Please note that hydroponics has direct access to your smart fridge, and will oftentimes load crops into it without saying a word. Check it from time to time to see if the hippies have left you anything.
