Note that a 20 item stack‡ like that is too big to fit inside of a barrel, so it will be placed directly onto the floor. Four different types of meat will be gathered and turned into a twenty serving 'roast' cooked meat takes a lot longer to rot than raw meat, so you want to cook any meat you have as soon as possible. Now go back to the kitchen and add a Template:DFtext job. Also turn off the cooking permission all of the various plants (everything but the meat), since cooking them destroys the seeds they contain, while eating them raw leaves behind a seed. Scroll down ( Template:K and Template:K) to the booze lines and toggle the cooking permissions off with Template:K. All of your booze starts out as cookable, which we want to prevent, since we want to reserve booze for drinking. All seeds start out with cooking disabled, since you want to use them for farming‡, but after your fortress has been running for a long time you might have enough seeds that you can safely cook a few. Ingredients marked with Template:DFtext are available for your dwarves to cook, while ones marked with Template:DFtext your dwarves will ignore when cooking. For that we have to exit from the kitchen and go to the kitchen sub-screen of the status screen‡ ( Template:K- Template:K- Template:K): Note that the prepare meal commands have no means to control which ingredients are used. 'Easy meal' produces a meal with two ingredients, 'fine meal' produces a meal with three ingredients, and 'lavish meal' produces a meal with four ingredients. This will give you three different types of meal to prepare, and the currently unusable Template:DFtext. Go back to the kitchen ( Template:K) and interact with it ( Template:K).

Use Template:K- Template:K- Template:K to modify active labors‡, make sure the cursor is over _, scroll down with Template:K to an select Template:DFtext, press Template:K, scroll up with Template:K to select Template:DFtext, hit Template:K again, then Template:K twice to return to the main menu. Use the units screen‡ ( Template:K) and zoom in on _.

Any dwarf can perform any labor, even without any skill at it, as long as the labor is enabled. This is because none of your dwarves has the cooking labor enabled. If you unpause the game you'll note that none of your dwarves will come to build the kitchen. Go to the dining hall area ( Template:K) and in the 3x3 nook south of the food storage area place a kitchen workshop‡ ( Template:K- Template:K- Template:K). 3 Butchery, rendering fat and tanning hides.
