'''Cooking''' ingredients together will always result in a more profitable meal than if the ingredients were sold separately - both in terms of money and energy return. For all Meals, the Energy and Star Coin values can be calculated using the following formulas: | '''Cooking''' ingredients together will always result in a more profitable meal than if the ingredients were sold separately - both in terms of money and energy return.

For both energy and sell price, each ingredient's value is multiplied by a fixed value (Energy Multiplier or Cost Multiplier) based on the Recipe Stars | For both energy and sell price, each ingredient's value is multiplied by a fixed value (Energy Multiplier or Cost Multiplier) based on the Recipe Stars. Each Ingredient's value is first rounded down to the nearest whole number, and then all ingredient values are summed together to calculate the desired metric. In the case of energy, an additional 50 energy is also added to the final total. | ||
If an unnecessary ingredient is added to a Meal, that ingredient's Energy and Star Coin values are added to the final totals of the meal, meaning it gains no value over selling it directly to [[Goofy's Stall]]. It does, however, gain the value of being part of a "cooked meal", so it contributes to the Well Fed Bonus. | If an unnecessary ingredient is added to a Meal, that ingredient's Energy and Star Coin values are added to the final totals of the meal, meaning it gains no value over selling it directly to [[Goofy's Stall]].

The price multiplier can be directly applied to the sell price of ingredients to evaluate profit, and because cooking ingredients together always enhances their sell value even purchased ingredients can be combined and resold for more then they were purchased for. A popular early game method for cooking for profit is to prepare [[Soufflé]] - which is only requires components purchased from the kitchen in [[Chez Remy]]. Each [[Soufflé]] will sell for {{price|410}} more than the cost of ingredients, but it's not purely a money-in/money out transaction as each meal requires [[Coal Ore]] as well. | |||
When preparing a recipe with an '''Any''' ingredient (for example {{ingredient|Fish}}), the calculated values of the prepared Meal are based on whatever ingredient is used in cooking. In the Collection menu the ''price'' and ''energy'' displayed for these meals is based on the lowest possible value each meal could be - whatever the ingredients the meal will never sell for less, or provide less energy then the displayed value (even though the 'lowest values' may be different for price and energy and require separate preparations of the meal). | |||
