Recipe for Disaster (also known as RfD) was the 100th quest released by Jagex, being a sequel to the Cook's Assistant quest. It is composed of 10 subquests. The subquests range in difficulty from easy to very hard. Jagex intended it to be a quest which nearly any member could start but only the most accomplished and willing players would be able to complete.
Able to kill a level 50 monster (only if you don't have Ice gloves, level 50 and the ability to kill a level 110 Ice queen if you want Ice Gloves)
Able to defeat a level 144 Black dragon
Able to defeat 5 level 50 monsters
Able to defeat a level 92 Big Snake
Ability to fight very tough, high-levelled enemies ranging from level 128 to 140 without prayer or summoning. (You don't have to beat all of them in one go; you can make several trips if you wish.)
Items required
Items from the tool belt are not listed unless they do not work or are not automatically added.See below
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 Grand Exchange, 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 the Evil Dave sub-quest for last.
Another Cook's Quest
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.
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.
Greenman's ale is sold in Yanille, at the Lighthouse and from Rasolo. It can also be obtained at the Grand Exchange.
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 Botany Bay for free.
Make a fruit blast. It requires a pineapple, a two lemons, an orange, a cocktail shaker and a cocktail glass to make. Put the pineapple, orange and lemon into a cocktail shaker, pour the mix into a cocktail glass, slice the second lemon to make lemon slices and add it to the cocktail. (NOTE: You can skip this step if you bought your fruit blast from the Grand Exchange. A pre-made Fruit Blast will also not work)
Add the ashes to the fruit blast to make a dirty blast.
Once you have all four items, give them to the Cook.
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. While she can easily seal the Culinaromancer in a heartbeat, due to the fact you caused the Culinaromancer to awaken she holds you responsible and sends you to save them as the magic is causing a temporal paradox that could destroy the known reality with the magic.
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.
Combat gear to fight against several level 84 Snakes
Subquest 10: Defeating the Culinaromancer
The Culinaromancer is unfrozen!
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.
Ability to fight very tough, high-levelled enemies ranging from level 128 to 140 without prayer or summoning. (You don't have to beat all of them in one go; you can make several trips if you wish.)
