Which foods do you think are the best to cook? What are your favorites?
I know this game is new but there are people who like to calculate all this and make tables etc.
Also what do we do with the spices? Do you use them on a recipe? Obviously you want to use them on something with a lot of servings.
Just getting into this. Accidentally opened garden. Meant to wait and do street market.
Thanks!
Yes, you need 2 garlic and 2 basil to make the 1hr spice which adds $1 per serving so like you said, you'd want to use it on a food item that has the most servings. At level 20 I think, you get another spice opinion that takes 3 garlic, 3 basil and 1 ginger, takes 3 hrs to make and adds $2 per serving. So far I don't have any recipes that require them. Just use them for the spice station.
Personally I use my spice on fajitas, because they have 700 servings which means value for your efforts
I love fajitas and chicken noodle soup
I confess to being one of those who created a spreadsheet to work out what is best to cook.
I try to maximise the profits from ingredients as best as i can, for the longer regen timed ones. Here's a short list...
Steak - French dip sandwich
Sugar - Carrot Cake
Potato - Potato Soup
Cream - Tomato Soup
Chicken - Chicken Broccoli Casserole or Chicken Noodle Soup
P.S. I'm only lvl 15, so there are probably better recipes to come

Unless it's for a task, I stay away from any recipe over 2 hours. Steak & eggs, fajitas, chicken Alfredo, chicken broccoli casserole, and blts are my go to recipes.

I love maximizing the efficiency of my kitchen, utilizing ingredients, appliances and counter-space to the max.
Unfortunately, what works best at one level and appliance distribution changes quickly. I find the longer refreshing items, like onion, peppers, rice and salmon are the things to focus on. Whatever you have least access to should go into the recipe/appliance that will use it best and then the easier access items can be used to 'fill the gaps.'
At the moment (& level 37) my favourites (divided by which appliance they are cooked on) include:
split pea soup (only unlocked recipe for chateau oven),
tuna sandwich,
veggie sushi
osso bucco, steak and eggs
baked salmon, Tuna casserole, stuffed peppers (Marguerita pizza when counter space)
carrot cake, baked potato, pepperoni pizza, chicken broccoli,
chicken alfredo, tomato soup and breakfast sandwich
And that fills up my sixteen counters. ;-)

I love reading this thread! I have calculated numerous things trying to find out what's best for me but with the street market and never knowing if I'll, for example, find that extra onion I need, it's hard for me to keep a steady menu.
I did just realize that I could gain more coin if I utilized my onions differently from how I was previously which was by using the 3 I get every 8 hrs for the Osso Baco (sp?) with the house spice which was earning me an extra 2k for that dish. But I did the math and if I used them for 2 fajitas with house spice I'll actually make more money. I realize it will take an additional house spice and will have collect twice in order to do it this way starting out but I think perhaps my onions will bring more money this way. We'll see....
Since I'm a creature of habit, I have not been using my onions for the newer recipes that require my precious onions lol but would love to hear how others use them cause those seem to be the most profitable thus far. But Ive not unlocked my peas or mushrooms yet either (not sure how to work them into my space atm) so those might be more profitable?? I sure hope their collection times aren't longer than 8 hrs!! Scared to know!
Before I had 2 commercial ovens, I found fajitas were the best use of my onions/peppers.
Now that I have 2 commercial ovens, I need the peppers to make stuffed peppers and so I use my onions for Osso Bucco.
I always make/use the one hour spice, unless I will be away from my game for at least two hours, in which case I make the longer one.
I have unlocked peas (4 hour) and mushrooms (16 hour), and currently use mushrooms for tuna casserole (1400 servings) and use all the peas I can get for split pea soup (chateau oven). I'll need to use some mushrooms for risotto (chateau oven) but for now will likely only make enough for that particular goal, as I need all the rice I can get for sushi.
I don't know about you, but most recipes I just make once, usually to complete a goal and that's it.
