The Kitchen is my favorite part of the game, and is an excellent cooking game. I have assembled some recipe suggestions below. For easy readability, I have listed Name, Suggested Cooking Level, and Effect first, then below the *** I have included the whole suggested recipe, as well as further clarifying notes if applicable. I have tried to align these suggestions with current recipe requirements and effects, and used real-world recipes as the inspiration for ingredients and amounts! Some recipes include new craft items or crops marked with an asterisk* which are also listed below the break.

***
General notes: I have tried to make use of ingredients which currently build to void levels for me (T110, Cooking 77) and which higher level players have mentioned void. Every effort has been made to balance effects against ingredient costs. While all the recipes here have effects linked to them, I would appreciate new recipes that don't have effects (maybe linked to current seasonal art like Pumpkin Pie) but provide new mastery and cooking xp opportunities.
*New crop: Ginger, 3h base grow time. Used in recipes here, but also potentially usable in the future in a "brew house" building to make ginger ale or ginger beer. Also a great addition to future dessert recipes.
*New Items:
Mortar and Pestle - Stone (100) Hammer (1)
Corn Starch - Mortar and Pestle (1) Corn (10) Glass Jar (1)
Squid Ink - Giant Squid (20) Glass Bottle (1) [Same art as other dyes, but black]
Vinegar - Wine (3) Sour Root (30) Glass Bottle (1)
Rice Flour - Mortar and Pestle (1) Rice (3) Glass Jar (1)
I have some ideas for quests that might provide some of these recipes, though I think most of them would be appropriate as friendship rewards. This is really long already though. If you'd like to hear the quest ideas, please let me know! :)
