Walkthrough

Members only: | Yes |
Official difficulty: | Special |
Description: | The cook in Lumbridge has a surprisingly small number of ingredients to hand in his kitchen, possibly as a result of an endless stream of newcomers with light fingers, taking anything that isn't nailed down from his kitchen. Luckily, in the past, a kind Cook's Assistant was willing to help him in his culinary duties, but a problem has now appeared that could spell... a Recipe For Disaster! Almost all members may attempt to solve his tricky predicament, and be rewarded accordingly, but only the very elite of Questers will be able to put an end to his problem permanently! |

Items required: |
Note: Buying a fruit blast from the Grand Exchange (not the premade version from Blurberry) works. Greenman's ale from house will instantly disappear as you leave your house. The fruit blast can also be made with the following items:
Note: You can also buy all the items at G.E. and need 10 cooking in order to put the ashes in the Fruit Blast. | ||
Enemies to defeat: | None |
It is strongly recommended that you grow a pet kitten before you start the quest, if you don't already have an adult cat. It will take 3 hours for the pet kitten to grow into a cat. If you do this at the start of the quest, it should be fully grown and you can save Evil Dave's sub-quest for last.
Another Cook
The cook is preparing for a party in Lumbridge. He tells you that a hundred years ago, a very important meeting was held in Lumbridge. His ancestor, Franizzard Van Lumbcook, cooked such an amazing banquet for the occasion that he was offered a job as head cook, along with all his descendants, for life. This big, important meeting is held in Lumbridge every ten years and today is the tenth anniversary. As he cannot think of a brilliant dish himself, he intends to use his ancestor's recipe for the feast. However, he needs your help gathering the ingredients AGAIN.
The cook tells you that he needs a newt's eye, a Greenman's ale, a rotten tomato, and a Dirty blast.
When asked how to make a Dirty blast, he tells you to add ashes to a Fruit blast that you make yourself. The Fruit blast given by Curator Haig Halen for completing the Digsite Quest will also work. The Cook also gives you 100 coins to buy everything and allows you to keep the change.
- Buy an Eye of Newt from any Herblore shop or from Betty of Port Sarim.
- Greenman's ale is sold in Yanille, at the Lighthouse and from Rasolo. It can also be obtained at the GE.
- A Rotten tomato can be bought at the Duel Arena, at the Yanille pillory, at the Seers' Village pillory, or at the Varrock pillory (select "buy" option). Can also be made in a Compost Bin, or picked up from Bottany Bay for free.
- Make a Fruit blast. It requires a Pineapple, a Lemon, Lemon slices, an Orange, a Cocktail shaker and a Cocktail glass to make. Put 1 Pineapple, 1 orange, and 1 lemon in a cocktail shaker, pour the mix into a cocktail glass, slice a lemon (use on a knife) and add it to the cocktail. (NOTE: You can skip this step if you bought your fruit blast from the Grand Exchange.)
- Add the ashes to the fruit blast to make a Dirty blast.
Once you have all four items, give them to the Cook.
Congratulations!
Rewards
- 1 quest point
- 2 extra spins on the Squeal of Fortune
- An invitation to the feast
- Access to the Culinaromancer's Chest
Subquests 2 to 9
The Secret Council
Enter the doors to the dining room to observe the feast. You will see members of the Lumbridge Secret Council seated at the table:
- A Mountain dwarf from White Wolf Mountain
- Osman from Al-Kharid
- Gypsy Aris from Varrock (Aris is late to the feast and does not arrive till after the player enters the room)
- General Wartface and General Bentnoze from Goblin Village
- Pirate Pete from Morytania
- Phileas, the Lumbridge Sage
- Evil Dave from Edgeville
- Skrach Uglogwee from the Feldip Hills
- Sir Amik Varze from Falador
- Awowogei from Ape Atoll
- Duke Horacio
Time Dilation
A cutscene ensues, where the Duke introduces his secret council, only to be interrupted by the Mysterious Old Man and will teleport to take care of it. Osman will then get taken away by Evil Bob.
At this point, you enter the room. A short while later, the Culinaromancer crashes the party and starts to attack everyone at the dining table with magic spells.
Luckily, the Gypsy from Varrock enters the room and casts Tempus Cessit, which freezes everyone in time, except for you and her. She explains that the Culinaromancer was a cook in Lumbridge a hundred years ago and had threatened the secret council with death, only to be thwarted by the Duke's assistant, who managed to trap him in another dimension. This assistant was the cook's ancestor, and was made head cook for life. The current head cook, whom you helped build the feast, apparently created a powerful food-magic, which released the Culinaromancer from his prison. Seeing him, the Gypsy casts the aforementioned spell, so that you both can protect the council from the Culinaromancer's attacks.
To release each member of the council from the Culinaromancer's spell, you must feed each of them their favourite food. After you give each member their favourite dish, Gypsy teleports them away to safety and tells you how many more council members are left.
You can complete these subquests in any order and start as many of them at a time as you want. Each subquest opens up increased access to the Culinaromancer's Chest, which holds a variety of goods.
-
The Culinaromancer arrives.
-
Gypsy Aris arrives too late.
-
The Gypsy Casts Tempus Cessit to freeze the room in time.
Freeing the Council members
There are nine council members you must save from the Culinaromancer:
Subquest 10: Defeating the Culinaromancer
- After you have freed all the council members, you will see a cutscene, where Gypsy Aris restarts time by saying "Tempus procedit!" The Culinaromancer will then retreat through the portal. Gypsy says you too must go through the portal to finish him off.
