Starter Medieval Cookbook Recipe Packs
These are older recipes that have been updated to work properly again, these are not new. I will be making more recipes in the future for the Medieval Cookbook.

I would like the dairy skill added or the cheese-making skill with the dairy maid job and aspiration for Medieval players.
Where's the Cheeeese?
I don’t know if this is intentional, but the pantry baguettes don’t count as “any bread” in recipes. I was happy to find your other bread recipes in the baking collection, though! I really needed them because I can’t make milk bread off the grid but now I’ll be able to make bread!! Thank you <3
Hi! Not intentional, these were made before the bread tag was added in game and I've just never got around to adding it with me making breads for the homestead helper mod instead but I'll update them for it :)
Not a huge deal, but my toddler gets the sugar moodlets from eating stargazy eel pie 😄
Thanks for letting me know! It must be tagged as dessert 😅 I'll fix it!
Hi thanks for the update. Think you made a tiny mistake and added 2 meals and left out puddings.
Ahh! Thank you for letting me know! I've fixed it now - I must have accidently deleted the puddings instead of the meal 🫠 😅
Hi I love this mod! But the boiled eggs recipe is not showing up, I've tried redownloading the pantry foods and I have the homestead helper but it just doesn't show up
Have you ever considered making a boar's head as a grand meal?
Hi I cant access the drinks file even though its downloaded and i have the recipe fix file, is this a bug?
I'm still having the same issue and am waiting for a resolution.
I love these and use them all the time! One question: the fish head stew was having routing issues when I tried to have my sims make it. They would get to the cutting board with the fish on it and then act like there was no counter space to do anything. I placed the counters with move objects off so that wasn't the issue, they were totally free of clutter, and I even replaced them with non-cc counters to see if that helped. I had three counters worth of free space and they just couldn't cook the meal. The other recipes I've made (gruel, pottage, and sponge cake) have all worked fine. Any ideas?
Sorry if this is a dumb question... I love your mods so please don't take this as a criticism. Does this update include ingredients like making flour, salt ect?
Hi! The ingredients can be found here now - https://www.patreon.com/collection/645977 They are slightly different and are made through the Homestead Helper.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this mod, but how do I access the teas,ales and nectar? I've tried the hearth, homestead helper and the medieval recipe book. I can't find the option to make them. Is there a pack I need for it?
Hi, did you install the recipe zip file? The menu should show on the medieval cookbook and the hearth.
I love this mod so much! I have really missed the recipes and I'm so excited that they are back! One itsy bitsy little thing: the roast fish grand meal doesn't fulfill the grand meal holiday tradition. This was also the case in the old version of Ye Olde Cookbook. I haven't tested the other grand meals, but they all worked in the old version.
Thank you for letting me know! I've tested in my game and having the same issue so I will investigate and get it updated! :)
These are great 👍
