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. | 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.

The Multipliers increase as the Recipe Star value increases, and cooking recipes with more ingredients (more Stars) will yield a higher return in both price and energy. <!--Redundant?:In addition to the bonus to each individual ingredient below, every meal adds {{energy|50}} to the sum of the increased energy of the ingredients.--> | The Multipliers increase as the Recipe Star value increases, and cooking recipes with more ingredients (more Stars) will yield a higher return in both price and energy. <!--Redundant?:In addition to the bonus to each individual ingredient below, every meal adds {{energy|50}} to the sum of the increased energy of the ingredients.--> | ||

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. | 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.

When preparing a recipe with an | When preparing a recipe with a Versatile<!--an "Any"--> ingredient (for example {{ingredient|Vegetables}}), the calculated values of the prepared Meal are based on the ingredient that is used. In the Collection menu the ''price'' and ''energy'' displayed for [[#"Any" Recipes|these Meals]] are the lowest possible values for each Meal - even if these values may require separate preparations of the meal. For example, [[Veggie Pie]] displays "{{price|279}} or more" and "{{energy|634}} or more", but no single preparation of [[Veggie Pie]] can be made with that sell price/energy value combination; [[Veggie Pie]] made with [[Lettuce]] will yield {{price|279}}/{{energy|697}}, and [[Veggie Pie]] made with [[Tomato]] will yield {{price|298}}/{{energy|634}}. | ||
