The latest new recipes

Over the last week there have been four new recipes added to the game. Three have come from the under the sea update and the other was part of the back to school update released the following day.

Let's start off with the three recipes on the Sunken Stove. To gain access to them, you will need to work through the Under the Sea goals to unlock this new appliance. The dishes are as follows:

The Seaweed Salad is a lightweight recipe. Just 350 portions for 4 hours of cooking is an all-time low, while the XP gain and profit of the dish is pretty lousy too.

This theme continues with the Steamed Mussels which, being an 8 hour recipe, you'd expect to have four-figure portions and a healthy profit. Yet this isn't the case.

The Grilled Mahi-Mahi is also lacklustre, but it is at least on par with a few of it's fellow 12 hour recipes. The Lobster Colorado (Basic Oven) has an identical portion size, although it is still well down on the typical level which gets as high as 2900 with the Chicken Tenders (Basic Oven). The XP rating is higher than some, but again unspectacular. There are definitely some better options out there with several 12 hour dishes yielding over 100 XP.

A positive across these three recipes is that they are aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. The mussels are something in particular that I've been waiting to see added to the game for a while.

The new recipe from the back to school theme was released on the Basic Stove:

Whether you lump this rare 7 hour recipe in with the 6 hour or 8 hour dishes, the School Lunch comes out looking poor. Following the same pattern as above, the small portion size is the standout, while the XP gain is dreadful - Flower Salad is one of the other 7 hour recipes and offers more than double the XP!

Remember that after an initial period the School Lunch will be moved to a later point in the recipe list for the Basic Stove.

The School Lunch has now been moved - it is positioned between Chocolate Fondue and Burritos.

So four unappealing recipes stats-wise this week. But don't fret - there's 8 gems to snatch from them. Just don't keep cooking them one you've got those gems!
