Jerric's Cookpot, recipes for hearth and camp cooking Options

[Grits]

I’ve been working on Jerric’s Cookpot, which is a little mod that adds food and drink recipes to (big reveal) the cookpot. All vanilla assets for now until I find or learn to make some filled tea cups and such.

I’m wondering about how the magical effects will work. I’m using small effects over time to make more sense of eating, for example tea that increases frost resistance 5% for two hours or food that fortifies stamina by 10 points for two hours. I don’t want one of my food effects to negate the effects from other food or potion use. Is it best to make my own magical effects so that they will stack?



Added: His first tea, brewed to keep his favorite sylvan lasses from needing too much clothing.

(The other new food in his backpack is from other mods, not mine.)

Straining the brew would not be a bad idea. They might also consider pairing it with a bowl of his delicious tomato-based chicken soup, which will fortify their disease resistance by 25%.

Hey! I need one of those! Sick again since the weekend . . . this is driving me crazy! Please politely ask Jerric to whip up some of that for me, please?

Yikes, not sick again! Ugh, that’s miserable. I’m sorry to hear it.

Jerric is presently at the College of Winterhold, so it was easy for him to get his hands on some fresh ingredients from their stores. He whipped up a double batch of his chicken soup for you, plus he hopes you’ll help yourself to some hot Cyrodiil spiced wine and his Black Wolf Brandy. And anything else that catches your eye. I’m afraid his healing philosophy is ‘Feed a cold, feed a fever, feed an injury, feed a hangover, and then drink yourself into next week when the symptoms will have passed.’

But I do hope the soup helps.


Jerric thought up some more recipes last night. Unsurprisingly most of them are drinks. Here’s what we have so far:

Black Wolf Brandy: two wine, two alternate wine – restore 15 points of stamina, stamina regenerates 30% slower for 30 seconds

Cocktail, Salty Dog: Nordic barnacle, salt pile, ale – restore 15 points of stamina, stamina regenerates 30% slower for 30 seconds

Cocktail, Snowberry Gin Fizz: juniper berry, snowberry, Nord mead – restore 15 points of stamina, stamina regenerates 30% slower for 30 seconds

Cocktail, The Bee’s Knees: juniper berry, honey, wheat – restore 15 points of stamina, stamina regenerates 30% slower for 30 seconds

Hard Cider: green apple, red apple – restore 15 points of stamina, stamina regenerates 30% slower for 30 seconds

Juice, Apple-Berry: red apple, snowberry – resist frost 5% for 120 minutes, fortify health 10 points for 120 minutes

Juice, Apple-Grape: green apple, jazbay grape – fortify health 10 points for 120 minutes, fortify magicka regen 5% for 120 minutes

Juice, Carrot: four carrots – got any ideas?

Tea, Canis Root: canis root, red mountain flower – fortify magicka 10 points for 240 minutes

Tea, Lavender and Mountain Flower: lavender, blue mountain flower – fortify stamina 10 points for 120 minutes, fortify health 10 points for 120 minutes

Tea, Thistle Leaf and Snowberry: thistle stem, snowberry – resist frost 5% for 120 minutes

Chicken Soup: chicken, carrot, tomato – resist disease 25% for 120 minutes

Mammoth Stew: mammoth meat, carrot, gourd – fortify stamina 30 points for 720 minutes

Braised Ribs: dog meat, ale – restore health 15 points

Custard-Filled Pastry: flour, chicken egg – restore health 10 points

Steamed Carrot Cake: two carrots, flour – restore health 10 points

In my games Dog Meat is called Ribs and Gourds are called Squash, but I didn't put those changes in this mod to avoid conflicts. If anyone has feedback or would like to try his recipes, just give the word.

Jerric is about to attempt his Master Conjuration Ritual, but right after that he plans to find some milk and honey and work on his Bee’s Knees recipe. He might swap out sour whipped milk for the fermented wheat. It’s not the kind of drink he fancies, but he knows a Breton lass who might like it.

Also he’d like to find a Hangover Remedy. He’s thinking something with mushrooms. *shudder*

Do you have screenshots of the food?

Nope, they’re all vanilla assets for now, which is why this mod is not really a candidate for release. So Braised Ribs looks the same as the cooked goat meat, the steamed carrot cake looks like a sweetroll, etc. Most of the food resources I’ve found are for static displays, and I need clutter food items. For folks who are already making their own custom food, Jerric’s little recipe mod probably won’t be of much interest.

My goal was to give more purpose to some underused raw food items (carrots, dog meat, gourds, flour) in recipes that don’t need an oven, since Jerric is on the road a lot and does most of his cooking at a cookpot over a campfire.

Admittedly making cocktails in a cookpot is a stretch, but where there’s a will!
