Cooking
Cook dishes at a stove for a boost that helps you catch, gather or grow, and cook them well for a longer one.
Cook on a stove at home or in The Roost's kitchen. Put one to four ingredients in the pot; a wrong mix uses nothing and tells you how close you were.
Then cook it by hand: chop, flip, toss and stir, one press per move. Cook well and the boost lasts longer: a Delicious dish lasts half as long again as a Home-cooked one, a Tasty one a quarter longer.
Boosts
Every dish gives one boost: Bug lure, Fish lure, Steady hands, Sharp eyes or Green fingers, for up to an hour. Share a picnic with a resident and it lasts longer still. Quill sells new recipes on Fridays, and the Roost's menu sells your dishes.
