Where to Find Your Recipe Book
Ingredients you grow or collect while foraging are stored in your storage containers around the biomes. These can be placed anywhere and make storing extra items for cooking recipes (and crafting recipe items).
Ingredients left in any storage container whether it’s in your home, the Dream Castle or another location can be accessed for remotely. In other words, you don’t have to collect ingredients from storage and have them on your person, or in your inventory, to use them for recipes.
Ingredient Groupings
In the game you’ll notice there are different types of ingredients. These can be a bit confusing if you’re not a chef typically. These groupings tell players which food category each ingredients belongs in. This is important especially when a recipe calls for any spice or any dairy product.
