There are many types of [[recipe]]s in the Kingdom.

==How to Read A Recipe==

===A Basic Recipe===
Here is an example of a simple recipe that can be completed early in the game:
{| class="recipe"
|- class="row1"
! {{combine}}
| [[Harold's hammer head]]
| [[Harold's hammer handle]]
|- class="row2"
! {{equals}}
| colspan="2" | [[Harold's hammer]]
|}
Each row in the recipe is started with a [[#Recipe Symbol|symbol]], showing how to process the specified ingredients.  In the above recipe, the first symbol is a picture of [[meat paste]] which means this is a combining recipe. The equals sign on the next row shows the final product. The above recipe should be read as follows: Combining [[Harold's hammer head]] (with a [[meat paste]]) with [[Harold's hammer handle]] yields  [[Harold's hammer]].

===Nested Recipes===
Here is an example of a nested or multi-tiered recipe.  It shows multiple recipes in one (hopefully) easy to read chart.
{| class="recipe"
|- class="row1"
! {{improve}}
| [[soda water]]
| [[bottle of vodka]]
! &nbsp;
|- class="row2"
! {{shcocktail}}
| [[tonic water]]
| [[bottle of Definit]]
! &nbsp;
|- class="row3"
! {{advcocktail}}
| colspan="2" | [[vodka and tonic]]
| [[little paper umbrella]]
|- class="row4"
! {{equals}}
| colspan="3" | [[yellow brick road]]
|}
Each row shows a different sub-recipe of the whole recipe.  The above recipe can be read from the bottom, up, as follows.  The bottom two rows can be read as: [[Cocktailcrafting]] (with [[Advanced Cocktailcrafting]]) a [[vodka and tonic]] with a [[little paper umbrella]] yields a [[yellow brick road]].  The middle two rows shown another precedent recipe, which is read as follows: [[Cocktailcrafting]] (with [[Superhuman Cocktailcrafting]]) [[tonic water]] with a [[bottle of Definit]] yields a  [[vodka and tonic]].  The tops two rows shows two recipes.  The first:  Improving [[soda water]] at [[Nash Crosby's Still]] yields [[tonic water]].  And the second: Improving a [[bottle of vodka]] at [[Nash Crosby's Still]] yields a [[bottle of Definit]]. 

Reading the top cell in each column will give a complete "shopping list" for the recipe, or every item needed to complete the recipe once from scratch.  For example, to make a [[yellow brick road]] from scratch, one would need one [[soda water]], one [[bottle of vodka]], and one [[little paper umbrella]].

Reading all of the left-most cells shows what skills one would need to make a recipe from scratch.  For example, to make a [[yellow brick road]] from scratch, one would need the proper [[cocktailcrafting]] equipment, [[Superhuman Cocktailcrafting]] (for crafting a [[vodka and tonic]]), access to [[Nash Crosby's Still]] (by being a [[Disco Bandit]] or [[Accordion Thief]]), and [[Advanced Cocktailcrafting]] to craft the final step.
