Choose a Dish you have eaten, up to 1 per Cooking level that you do not have a recipe of, Every quest when you encounter an ingredient for the first time

you may roll a check to see if you've figured it out. The more ingredients a dish has the more chances you may figure it out, however the stronger the effect of the dish the higher the DC. If you've failed all checks to discern the recipe and you possess all the ingredients on hand you may attempt to Prepare the dish blindly and make another roll to discover the recipe, a failure means the recipe failed to be discerned and the meal will be subpar with no magical effect, Materials obviously consumed.
