hello!
We’re sorry you are feeling stuck. A friction point we have noticed is that some players don’t catch the second tab in the ingredients menu for pantry staples, thus forgetting to add the salt or other ingredients.
To cook, simply select the appropriate cooking method for the dish you need to create, input the ingredients, and either cook or serve.
We will be adding an update that includes a proper tutorial slide to remedy any confusion for future players.
Hope this helps!
