# Chef A fella has gotta eat, and it's the chef's job to make sure folks have something other than junk to munch on. [textlink="Click here to see a list of food recipes." link="FoodRecipes"] First and foremost, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the kitchen, and the tools available to you. ## Kitchen Prep: It's hard to put into words how to play chef without feeling like you're being given orders, but here are some basics. - Check what you have on hand when it comes to ingredients, most kitchens have some Flour, Rice, Eggs, Monkey Cubes, and a few other things to get started with. - Try your hand at mixing up some dough by putting water and flour together in a beaker. (Use the sinks!) - Check the Wiki (or Food Recipes) guidebook for things you can make, and put all the listed ingredients into a microwave to cook it into a meal. - Set up mouse traps. Yes, really. It's easy to see all your hard work disappear if you don't take precautions for mice infestations. Once you're a bit more experienced and familiar with what you can make, it might be best to put together a few menus, or a "cheat sheet" so you can give a list of ingredients to botany. ## Mixing Dough: Add Flour and Water together in a beaker. (Use the sink for water!) ## Making Flour: Place wheat in a grinder (with a beaker placed inside) and grind it up! ## Getting Plants: Ask Botany for what you need, without a botanist, you may need to grow more plants yourself. ## Gathering Milk: Alt-Click on a Cow with a container in your hand. (Beakers, Buckets, Milk Jugs, ect.) ## How to Butcher: In most cases, you should be able to use a knife directly on a creature that's dead. It's best to do this in the freezer, as the results are... messy. Monkeys, however, (and other humanoids), need to be dragged onto a meatspike to be butchered.
