Paleo Pines – Ultimate Cookbook Guide

Become Paleo Pines’s greatest master chef!

Definitive Guide to Cookbook

Basics

Based on my experience, Gloop is largely, if not purely, the result of missing a quick time event, so in this guide I’ll simply list the minimum amount of ingredients required to produce each recipe.

Usually, the best time to remove your dish from the pot is when brown bubbles and steam have risen to the top, but if you keep producing Gloop, try removing the dish slightly sooner or later and pay attention to the consistency of the pot’s contents when you get a good result.

Prepping the Pot

You can buy a Cooking Pot from Freya’s stand in the Archeo Pelago for 1000 shells. My recommendation is to place this cooking pot right next to the home tree on your ranch. This allows you to move items out of and back in to storage quickly.

I also recommend writing in your diary (i.e. saving your game) before experimenting with each recipe. This way, if you run out of ingredients producing Gloop instead of discovering or mastering a recipe, you can load your manual saves from the main menu and hopefully achieve better results.

Why the Least Sensible Thing You Could Possibly Do with Your Food Is Eat It

You can sell Gloop and any of your other, somewhat more palatable creations to Pippin in Pebble Plaza and Erik or Nalroc in the Archeo Pelago. An evening’s worth of successful fireside experiments can fetch at least 1000 shells regardless of dish quality, which makes this a great way to fund your shiny, new, resource-costly hobby.

Achievement Quirks

Bizarrely, there are 81 recipes to discover in Paleo Pines, but you are only required to master 78 of them to unlock the achievement. Any recipe you master, whether discovered through experimentation or learned from an NPC, counts towards the achievement, so it’s unclear to me why this numerical mismatch exists.
