Speaking of cooking, I have a pretty basic little "meal" recipe that I use that fills up all of my CCFP bars easily, and seems to give me 1 hour affinty boosts even at 20ish HFC/cooking skills:
I use a "knife" (not carving, not butcher) to chop all of the ingredients first:
1 iron frying pan
1 minced meat (for protein)
1 cheese (for fats)
1 chopped potato (for carbs)
1 chopped onion (for more carbs)
1 copped garlic (for more carbs)
1 chopped corn (for more carbs)
1 chopped herb
1 ground spice
the herb and spice I add kind of as if it might be "
magic bonus points" for more than just difficulty. But maybe it does not much and is not needed.
However probably you can add/remove herbs/spices/vegs to come out with the "magic number" you need for affinity boost.
I use those specific veggies as they use less volume so let me add more types before the pan gets too full (pumkin/cabbage etc are pretty big and make it hard to fit in the cheese too)
Makes all my bars fill up easy, 99 nutrition (which is prob mostly due to a bdew mod, but it was pretty decent like 80 even before he added the mod))
It might be that almost any dish does as good, but my first attempts didn;t seem to get all of the CCFP bars maxxed out as easily. Once i added cheese/fats. and a nice little mix of vegs/carbs, it got easy.
I should add, I am far to lazy to worry much about affinities, sleep bonuses, enchanted tools and stuff like that. Heck that's why I play n a 10x/10x server
I have a hard enough time remembering where I parked my cart each day.
You can find the "stats" for each ingredient if you dstrat up a singleplayer offline server with yourself as GM, and use an ebony wand to pawn in 99Q sample of each veg (to get consist numbers for each ingred)
At one time I was curiious enough to start making up a list but I am afraid I got bored before I got too far:
====================================
Barley (Calories:1045.2, Carbs:230.7, Fats:3.3, Proteins:29.4)
Cabbage (Calories:247.0, Carbs:49.0, Fats:2.0, Proteins:18.0)
Carrot (Calories:202.5, Carbs:47.5, Fats:0.5, Proteins:4.0)
Corn (Calories:85.1, Carbs:18.5, Fats:1.3, Proteins:3.2.)
Cucumber (Calories:79.0, Carbs:17.5, Fats:0.0, Proteins:3.0.)
Garlic (Calories:73.75, Carbs:16.35, Fats:0.2, Proteins:3.15)
Lettuce (Calories:64.0, Carbs:10.5, Fats:0.5, Proteins:6.5.)
Oat (Calories:1155.3, Carbs:196.8, Fats:20.4, Proteins:50.1)
Onion (Calories:99.0, Carbs:23.0, Fats:0.0, Proteins:2.5.)
Pea pod (Calories:207.5, Carbs:36.5, Fats:0.5, Proteins:13.0,)
pea (Calories:80.1, Carbs:13.8, Fats:0.3, Proteins:4.9)
Potato (Calories:381.0, Carbs:86.5, Fats:0.0, Proteins:9.5.)
finally I decided "eh,
potatoes for carb, cheese for fats, meat for protein, easy enough"
Probably also easy enough is "Bangers & Mash" which uses knife+bladder=sausage skin that you stuff with cheese breadcrumbs meat "and stuff" then add fork mashed potatos to the final pan.
I find the generic "meal" above though easy enough to make in small batches
there are drop down menu's in it..
