The Cook’s Guild

This guild is located west of Varrock. The Cook’s Guild is aimed at players with a passion for improving their culinary skills, it is located West of Varrock. To enter, you must be wearing a chef’s hat and have a cooking level of at least 32.

The Cook’s Guild is a good place to make apple pies because of the respawning items you will need, such as cooking apples and pie dishes, and the fact that the guild is a large windmill to make the flour for the pastry.

On the ground floor of the Cook’s Guild you will find the flour bin of the windmill (this is only full of flour when you have operated the controls on the second floor and placed grain into the hopper), a sink, a chocolate bar on the table and the pie stall.

The Pie Stall (Members only)

Talk to Romily Weaklax and you will be able to buy low-level pie from him. Alternatively, to make some money, you can sell all pies to Romily and he will pay you a good price per pie you sell to him.
	If you offer to help Romily with his stock of pies, Romily will tell you an amount of specific pies he would like you to make. If you don’t know how to make the pies he wants, go to Romily’s ‘Trade’ option (by right-clicking on Romily) and buy the Pie Recipe book for 5gp. This book contains the recipes for the pies of RuneScape.
Gather the ingredients, make the pies and bring them back to Romily. He will then pay you for your efforts. The more pies you make, the more money you will make!

On the first floor you will find two ranges, cooking apples, a cake tin, a bowl and a pie dish. The cooking ranges are useful because they can be used to cook all food.

On the second floor you will find the top of the windmill where the controls are located. Place grain in the hopper on this floor and collect it from the flour bin on the ground floor. Also on this floor there is another cooking apple, an empty jug, an empty pot and some grapes.

Preparing Sinew (for Crossbow Strings)

Crossbows require a tougher string than flax can be spun into, so it is most common to use sinew. Sinew can be harvested by cooking beef or bear meat over a range. When you choose to cook beef or bear meat on a range, you will be presented with the choice of either cooking it into a delicious meal, or drying it out into sinew. You only need level 1 Cooking to prepare sinew.

Once sinew has been prepared, it can be spun into a crossbow string by using it with a spinning wheel. Click here for more details.

Those who have started the Recipe for Disaster quest, and have got to the stage where they need to save Evil Dave will learn of the totally evil and totally spicy stew. To get stew, you will need to get an empty bowl, fill it with water and add a potato. When you have done this, continue by adding some cooked meat, and then cook the stew on a range to complete it. Now you have normal stew, it is time to spice things up a bit! If you head to Evil Dave’s BASEMENT OF DOOM!, you will find Evil Dave himself, along with many hell-rats. Using your cat (or soon to become hellcat), order it to chase the hellrats. When it successfully captures one, they will drop a spice shaker, one of 4 colours, which may have up to 4 doses of that colour in them.

How it works

You can only use a maximum of 3 doses of a colour in a stew, and the colours/doses will determine what the stew will do.
To work out how the stew may effect you, you need to get the number of doses you put in, and multiply it by 2. This is the maximum you will gain or lose, please note that it is up to this number. For example, if the number is 6 you may get 4.

Of course, this means if you are lucky, you could temporarily boost any of the skills mentioned above by 6! (Or, if you are unlucky, temporarily lower the skill by 6.)

If you want an extremely variable stew, try putting 3 doses of each colour in and see what happens!

Iron Spit

This piece of equipment can be used to cook some meats on an open fire. You can cook rabbit, bird, beast, chompy and jubbly chompy meats on the spit. Once you obtain some raw meat use the spit with the raw meat. Then light a fire and use the skewered meat on the fire.
