Bear and Breakfast Money-saving recipes (food reference)

A quick reference guide for the easiest, money-saving recipes.

Money-saving recipes

I’ve played far too much of this game since it came out, and the main frustrations I’ve had have been maintaining good food and fuel levels (and nails, but hopefully that’ll be fixed sooner rather than later).

This is less of a guide, and more of a reference sheet to pull up so you can see what recipes can be made with limited/no fuel or shop-only items. This should hopefully help you save on money.

Notes and Closing

I will mention that you can hire staff later in the game to cook for you without the use of ingredients.
While it saves a ton of hassle, it can also be pretty expensive, which is part of why I made this whole reference.

Also, there are some recipes that produce 2 meals per recipe. As far as I know, there’s no obvious way to check which are without testing each of them, but let me know!

I hope this helps some people save some money/headaches in their playthroughs.
