One of your first goals must be to purchase a Handy Kitchen at least from Lute on the Holiday. You will have many expenses in the first fortnight of Spring. No further house expansion is required to purchase the Chef's Kitchen or its counterparts in Forge and Laboratory. The final level of Kitchen is the Chef's Kitchen which can be purchased from Lute and allows you to cook Dishes with a maximum of 6 ingredients. The Great Kitchen requires a Kitchen house extension from Kross. Until you have purchased the Great Kitchen, you will not be able to make any Recipes that require more than two ingredients. In the case where any Recipe you own requires more than two ingredients, the additional items will be not be highlighted. Note that, in a Handy Kitchen, you cannot have more than three different Cooking Utensils and you will not be able to cook Dishes that require more than two ingredients. The most important purchase may be the Kitchen, Forge and Pharmacy, however. He sells the Big Bed you need in order to marry as well as his own Paintings and other useful or aesthetically pleasing items. Lute is the source of all Kitchen, Forge and Pharmacy purchases, among others. You may not need to purchase any Utensils to make these, but you will need ot purchase the small Handy Kitchen from Lute. The book will consist of a few simple Recipes for No Utensil/No Tool Dishes.
