[[Cooking]] is the fine art of making [[:Category:Food|food]] out of [[:Category:Cooking Ingredients|ingredients]]. Some recipes produce edible food, others only produce ingredients that require further cooking. While most of the recipes can be made by anyone, only those who have learned [[Advanced Saucecrafting]] can use cooking to make those recipes out of [[scrumptious reagent|scrumptious reagents]]. Also, recipes made with [[dry noodles]] require the training of [[Pastamastery]]. And only those who have learned the most ancient secrets of cooking, such as [[Transcendental Noodlecraft]] or [[The Way of Sauce]], will be able to make those recipes requiring [[The Wok of Ages|dry noodles and MSG]] or the [[scrumdiddlyumptious solution]], respectively.
Cooking requires an [[E-Z Cook Oven™]] in your inventory or either a [[chef-in-the-box (Campground)|Chef-in-the-box]] or a [[Clockwork Chef-in-the-box]] at your campsite, any of which will reveal the '''cook stuff''' link in your inventory. An E-Z Cook Oven™ allows you to cook one recipe at the cost of one [[adventures|adventure]], while a boxed chef allows you to cook for zero adventures. However, after a certain number of uses your chef will explode, providing you with a random assortment of its component parts and food items—including [[white chocolate and tomato pizza|some food that cannot be obtained by any other means]].
