Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks what does cooking recipes stand for?

Is there any way to cook food in this game? I found a few books teaching about how to cook foods but i've never found any ways to cook food

There is limited crafting, and no cooking. The recipes are there for atmosphere, though in the old forum a couple of people tried some of the recipes (with suitable substitutions in some cases, for lack of the listed ingredients), and there were a couple Youtube videos, as well (this one for Elven Cider is the only one I see in a quick search).

The Alchemy Spoiler Thread contains a couple of other item combinations.

Has anyone ever done the math to see if selling cooked food is more profitable then the ingredients? I assumed that was true but never had the gumption to check. Note that buying two smaller potions then combining them is cheaper then a single larger one.

EDIT: oops - wrong area - I was thinking OS2.
