Help on cooking
Well I have been trying to find out ICly how to do it, but nobody seems to know. I know that cooking has been added, I have bought all the supplies, but I do not know the syntax for cooking or making anything. Any help would be appreciated.

You just have to examine the objects sold in the shop and you will get all the keywords.
The following keywords are used:
- boil
- flatten
- bake
- mix
- place
Most objects used in cooking have an extra description, which means that you have to type "examine (keyword)", while typing the (keyword) in full [side note for help writers: it would be good to add a comment saying that keywords have to be typed in full for "examine" and "look" on objects, abbreviations won't work].

If im being really stupid say, or if you cant tell me cos of quest reasons etc
but im trying to make dough, I have the flour and bowl and 2 difrent waterskins and have tryed next to fountains. I get the message "you need some water to do that"
Ive tryed every combination i can think off to put water in the bowl and tralled shops/pubs for "a glass of water" etc.
If someone could let me know what im doing wrong id apreciate it.

Hi Saurel - The cooking programs are a bit of a novelty, and are rather particular. They will only function on certain input materials, and you kind of have to discover them by trial and error, or by speaking with an experienced chef in-character. (That is, OOCly, a PC that has already figured this stuff out!) I'll tell you this much, OOC:
- There are different sources of water...and only one of them will work for making dough.
Only certain fruits can be baked into dough
You generally have to hold the right thing(s) and then type the correct (and full, not abbreviated) keyword
You can often find helpful tips by searching the forums! For example, a search for COOKING DOUGH (ALL) brings up these two posts, which might also help in your efforts:

Bug, mentioned previously in this thread, but seems to have been ignored.
I try to cook dough. I fail. The leftover crap is a piece of burned MEAT. (Not dough or bread).
I decide to cook (destroy) the burned meat and managed to create a slice of cooked meat (edible). Not bad for flour and water.
