Pax Dei: Cooking Guide

Pax Dei has probably one of the most unique and in-depth cooking systems of any MMORPG or survival crafting game. You have hundreds of unique consumable recipes for brewing, baking, grilling, and cooking. This guide will focus only on how to use the cooking bench in this Pax Dei cooking guide.

Basic Cooking Bench RecipesEssential Cooking Tools Recipe Pax Dei

To build a basic cooking workbench, you will need the following:

  • Basic cooking tools
  • 60x Granite
  • 50x Charcoal
  • 25x Clay

If you don’t have the recipe, craft the Basic Cooking Kit to unlock it. The Basic Cooking Workbench recipe can be found using the menu on the Building Hammer.

Basic cooking tools require 1 Iron Sheet, 2 Short Wooden Sticks, and 2 Flint, all of which can be crafted at a Basic Blacksmithing Table. You can find Granite Deposits in mountainous areas, and Flint by rivers. Charcoal is made in Charcoal Kilns using Sapwood, while Clay can be found on the ground throughout the map.

Once you have a basic cooking bench ready, you’ll have access to some amazing consumables.

I recommend building a large cooking area so you have room for an oven, rotisserie, cooking stove, and a cooked food workbench. There are more buildings like grindstones, grain mills, fermenters, and breweries, but most of them are better suited for brewing and winemaking.

Some of these consumables provide the same effects or buffs, so some make other recipes irrelevant to some extent. You will definitely need to have a well set up, as most of these recipes require water.
