Doloc Town Cooking Recipes: Discovery Cooking, Stations and Recipe List
How cooking and ingredient categories work in Doloc Town, Delicious versions and their value thresholds, cooking stations and unlocks, and a verified recipe list.
Doloc Town cooking is discovery-based: prepare a valid ingredient combination once and the dish is permanently recorded for later use. Recipes use ingredient categories rather than fixed items, order does not matter, and optional slots can stay empty.
High-value ingredient combinations produce a better-quality version of the same dish, called Delicious. This page covers the rules, the stations, and the recipes that have been verified against the compiled 1.00.02 research.
How Cooking Works
- A dish is saved after the first successful combination.
- Ingredients are grouped into categories; the category, not the exact item, decides whether a slot is filled.
- Order is irrelevant and optional slots can be left empty.
- The improved Delicious result depends on the combined base selling value of the ingredients.
- Quality thresholds vary by dish, with recorded examples from 75 to 350.
Ingredient Categories
Each cooking slot accepts a category such as Vegetables, Fruit, Fish or Tea Leaves. A slot written as "A or B" accepts either category. Wrong or incomplete combinations are not rejected: the station cooks them into Mixed Endfoods or similar failure dishes. A post-release Steam thread reports exactly this for the Stew quest, where the pot kept producing Mixed Endfoods until the player used Vegetables in the mandatory slots.
Delicious Meals
| Dish | Threshold | Delicious result |
|---|---|---|
| Stew | 200+ | Delicious Stew |
| Grilled Fish | 120+ | Delicious Grilled Fish |
| Fruit Tea | 150+ | Delightful Fruit Tea |
| Jam Bread | 250+ | Delicious Jam Bread |
The threshold is measured on the combined base selling value of the ingredients, not on what you paid to craft them. Exact in-game stats for the Delicious versions are not fully confirmed per dish, and thresholds may shift with patches.

Where Recipes Unlock
Recipes are not all available from the start. Compiled community and guide evidence records recipe sheets, friendship with villagers such as Hult, faction commissions, and festivals such as the Mushroom Festival and Salmon Festival as unlock sources. Community posts also note that some recipes can only be made on the advanced or large stations. These unlock paths are editor-compiled and carry community risk, so confirm the exact source in game for a recipe you need.
Version Notes
- The 1.00.02 update added batch crafting to free-cooking mode.
- The same patch changed some food sell prices and recovery values, so older wiki numbers may be outdated.
- Failure dishes can reach an all-stat -999 result. The hidden achievements Overcooked and I Am Stupid are related to cooking mistakes, though the direct trigger chain was inferred from the evidence rather than confirmed by a player test.
