Recipes: what is actually on the menu

The August 2026 official menu update names Cola Chicken, Summer Salad, Meridian Pizza and VegCoffee, and confirms that dishes need recipes, ingredients and equipment. Full recipe inputs and prices await live verification.

Named examples are not complete recipes

These four names establish that the dishes appear in official material. They do not establish ingredient quantities, sale prices or unlock conditions. Even a suggestive name cannot tell us which ingredient the game actually requires.

  • Cola Chicken — officially named example.
  • Summer Salad — officially named example; seasonal wording needs live interpretation.
  • Meridian Pizza — officially named example.
  • VegCoffee — officially named example.

Categories help you organize discovery

Official categories include meat, fish and seafood, salads, sandwiches, pizza, soups, desserts, snacks and drinks. Use them as a filing system while collecting recipe records. The Q&A describes unlocking and customizing recipes, but a complete customization rule set is not established here.

A recipe earns a page with a useful answer

Our launch records must include the recipe identity, exact ingredient inputs, equipment, venue use, unlock observations, build and a source capture. Until then, the hub and planner are more useful than empty recipe URLs.

  • Record whether a quantity is per serving or per batch.
  • Link each ingredient to a verified source and price observation.
  • Compare contribution using your actual serving cost.
