Another Cook's Quest

The cook in Lumbridge has a surprisingly small number of ingredients to hand in his kitchen, possibly as a result of an endless stream of newcomers with light fingers taking anything that isn't nailed down from his kitchen. Luckily, in the past a kind Cook's Assistant was willing to help him in his culinary duties, but now a problem has appeared that could spell... a Recipe For Disaster!

Walkthrough

Follow the chapters below. Click any screenshot or diagram to view it at full size.

Before you begin


Items needed: An eye of newt, a greenman's ale, a rotten tomato, ashes, and a fruit blast (or 8 gold and a knife)

The Cook tells you that he needs a newt's eye, a Greenman's ale, a rotten tomato, and a dirty blast in order to prepare for the centennial feast. If you ask him how to make a dirty blast, he will tell you to add ashes to a fruit blast. He will give you 100 coins to buy everything, and he will allow you to keep the change.

Gathering the ingredients

Creating a fruit blast from scratch
  1. Go to Grand Tree Groceries (north-west corner of the 1st floor (UK) of the Grand Tree) and pick up the cocktail shaker spawn on the table. Buy 2 lemons, 1 pineapple, and 1 orange from Hudo.
  2. Run over to where Heckel Funch is (in the south-east corner) to find a Cocktail glass spawn.
  3. Mix the cocktail shaker and select "Fruit Blast."
  4. Use a knife to slice (not dice) the remaining lemon, then pour your cocktail shaker to create a fruit blast.
  5. Finally, use the ashes on the fruit blast to make the dirty blast.

Once you have all 4 items, give them to the Cook. Enter the dining room to open up the rest of Recipe for Disaster.

Congratulations, quest complete! (for now...)
