S: Mixed Endfoods for the first week, plus-tier meat buns and pies once flour exists. A: grilled fish, sashimi, century eggs, fruit juice for spirit. B: mushroom soup, roasted veg. C: burnt experiments and carbide — carbide is not food.
Plus outputs are the real rank-up. A cook bracelet that rolls delicious is an equipment piece, not a recipe.
Adventure food
Rivervalley wants stackable energy, not gourmet. Cook a pot of whatever you already farm. Old City wants radiation-aware planning more than a cake.
How to read S kitchen versus S adventure
S kitchen prints gold from crops you already grow: Endyam into Mixed Endfoods beats 40 gold raw. S adventure stacks energy for dungeons at 10 energy per fishing cast and 320 starting energy. Those can be different dishes. Plus buns can be both once flour exists. Century Eggs need Pickling I and an animal product you may not have because the pheasant is fenced — or because it is eating your pumpkin.
Recipes use ingredient classes. Any two end-crops can make Mixed Endfoods. Substitutes fail when a row lists a specific item. Unlock Cooking I on the Life tree. Stations sit on equipment. Automation processing bots can run pots later; they do not make a C soup into S. The recipe catalog lists every pot. This page is the argument.
Gifts, plus dishes, and vendor fish
Plus dishes are different gifts. A birthday 3× on the plus row can fail if you cooked the base row. Weekly cap is still two. Do not spend both slots on experiments. Neutral food pays 20 liking; loved plus pies pay the real meter toward 100. Hult still wants keys. Villain still wants chips. Cooking everything you catch is how Cod at 170 gold becomes a worse gift than a vendor sale.
Carbide, alloys, and packing-station converts are factory recipes. Ranking them as C food is a joke with a purpose: do not eat them. Fishy Generator eels are power, not sashimi S. Biogas poop is power. Keep the kitchen ranking on dishes that heal, sell, or gift. The rest belong to automation and tech path.

Is Mixed Endfoods still good later?
As a loop, yes, until pumpkin pies outscale it. As a heal, it gets replaced.
Do villagers like plus dishes more?
Often. Check Gift Finder; plus is a different item.
Tea vs coffee?
Both are shrub products. Tea ceremony nodes make drinks a Life-tree project.
Should I cook Kelp?
Not until a recipe asks. Vendor it early.
S kitchen versus S adventure?
Kitchen prints gold from crops you already grow. Adventure stacks energy for dungeons. They can be different dishes.
Century Eggs gate?
Pickling I and an animal product. The pheasant may be eating your pumpkin instead.
Carbide as C food?
A joke with a purpose. Do not eat factory recipes. Automation covers those rows.
