Cusineer Cooking Guide – All Recipes, Ingredients & How to Find Them

Cooking is the name of the game in Cuisineer, but your parents haven’t left you the family cookbook or even the funds for cooking ingredients. Thankfully, you have your Smackerel in your hand, the world map as your grocery store, and the locals have enough recipes to keep your oven hot.

The most difficult part of getting started in Cuisineer is amassing enough food items to keep customers satisfied. Because of this, you will want to focus on getting as many new options for your kitchen as possible.

In this guide, we will go over all the ingredients and recipes in Cuisineer, where to find them, and what stations are needed to cook them.

How to Get Tasty Spice in Cuisineer

One of the most illusive items needed for cooking is Tasty Spice. This is dropped by Potcher enemies in all biomes.

The Potcher is a rare, bipedal enemy with a vase on its head. It has high HP, and drops a variety of rare loot, including Tasty Spice.

How to Get Ice Crystals in Cuisineer

Ice Crystals in Cuisineer are only found in the Frozen Fjord dungeon biome. They are dropped by Ice Kube mobs, and used for any icy dishes.

How to unlock the Frozen Fjord

Early in the game, Eclair will request players bring her 10 Sparkling Water.

However, this quest must be set aside until you unlock the Frozen Fjord biome. This is the third area, and is unlocked after completing the Not Another Debt! Story quest.
