📋 About This Mod

I made this mod for myself, for fun and immersion. I use hundreds of mods, so other cooking mods conflict with other mods I have already installed. Besides, they add new food items, while I only needed recipes for fried meat, apple juice and edible wyvern eggs. The closest to what I was looking for was Gastronomic Alchemy, but it conflicts with Gwent Redux, Increased Creature Loot and it adds some unnecessary, bugged new item.

All items are already present in the game, so it's not my fault a grilled chicken adds the same amount of Vitality as a raw chicken. But the recipes are balanced, e.g. Chicken sandwich restores 800 points of Vitality, which is only 50 points more than consuming the ingredients separately.

All recipes can be bought from merchants, they are also added to random loot lists.

Apple juice (800 Vitality regeneration) <- 3Apple (3250V) + Empty bottle

Sold by the muscular merchant in Crows' Perch and the sommelier in Beauclair

additem('Cooking recipe apple juice')

Raspberry juice (500V) <- 2Raspberries (2250V) + Empty vial

The only difference is 5010s vs. 2505s

Sold by the Madame at Crippled Kate's and the sommelier in Beauclair

additem('Cooking recipe raspberry juice')

Exquisite honey (800V) <- Honeycomb (500V) + Allspice root + Empty bottle

Herb-infused honey

Sold by Tomira in White Orchard and herbalists around Toussaint

additem('Cooking recipe honey 1')

Exquisite honey (800V) <- Jar of honey (0V)

Jar of honey is a bugged item, it's technically food, but it doesn't restore any health points. As far as I remember, you can loot it from beehouses

Sold by Tomira in White Orchard and herbalists around Toussaint

additem('Cooking recipe honey 2')

8Baked apple (8500V) <- 8Apple (8*250V) + Honeycomb (500V) + Dried fruit (800V)

Unavailable in the No-Script version

Sold in the Nowhere Inn. From 2. 1 it can also be bought from the Ducal Cammerlengo.

additem('Cooking recipe baked apple')

Baked potato (800V) <- Potatoes (500V) + Ashes

Ash-roasted potatoes

Sold by the Lindenvale merchant. From 2. 1 it can be bought from general merchants around Toussaint (including wandering traders and the guy who sells paintin
