==Walkthrough==
{{Quest details
|description=The [[Cook (Lumbridge)|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!

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:
* 1 [[Knife]]
* 1 [[Cocktail shaker]]
* 1 [[Cocktail glass]]
* 2 [[Lemon]]s, 1 [[Pineapple]], 1 [[Orange]]

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.

'''''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.'''''

[[File:Cook (Lumbridge) chathead.png|left|The Lumbridge Cook.]]
====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 [[Eye of newt|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====
[[File:Another Cooks Quest Reward.png|Another Cook's Quest|center]]

* 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 Guide|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====
{{Template:Listen
|title = The Secret Council
|filename = Everyone's free!.ogg
|desc = The music that plays when during the cutscene.|align = right}}
[[File:RFD 2.png|thumb|right|The frozen Council]]
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.

[[File:Flipping hippo.png|thumb|Asking the gypsy what happened]]
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.
