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"-->a Versatile 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}}.
