Cooking
The table below shows the cooking recipes available at each cooking skill level. Some notes:
  • Cooking generally requires a campfire, and many recipes require a Cooking pot or Frying Pan. Cooking pots and frying pans can be looted or crafted.
  • Recipes for liquids require catering buckets or sealed containers for storage.
  • Venison can be obtained by killing and skinning Deer, which isn't listed as a recipe in the game. Deer can be skinned at any level but the amount of meat you get is higher for more skilled chefs.
  • Most recipes become available if all ingredients are found, except Make Salad and Make Beet Sugar, which also require the player to have the required cooking skill level.
  • If ingredients are listed in [ and ], either one of the ingredients can be used.
  • Some recipes can only be cooked by the player manually, not by NPCs. They are Skin Chicken, Cook Suspiciously Meaty Stew, and Cook Suspiciously Meaty Curry.
  • The Skill Progr column shows your skill's experience gain when cooking a recipe.
  • To prevent your NPCs from consuming valuable items such as Beet Sugar or Vodka, disable the policy Can Eat on that item.
  • See also the discussion Understanding of cooked food/stew/curry to learn how ingredients in stews and curries can be interchanged.

You need to skin the meat from a zombie dead body, depending of type of strain it will give you the infection.
Then you need medicine skill in order to craft infected weapons, depends on your level which weapons you can craft.
When selecting the rancid human meat it will let you choose which weapon to combine with or in case of the Biohazard molotov for example, you will need the Wine Bottle with Urine on it, then it will allow you to craft it if you have the materials.
