My fitness coach keeps nagging me to eat healthier and cook more at home... so, this mod was born!

Open the Panel

Multiple ways to access the cooking panel — cook anytime, anywhere!
  • Hover over the crafting button and a new "Open Cooking Panel" button will pop up on the right
  • Right-click on any food or base item to open the panel and if it’s a base item, it will automatically set it as the current Base item

Base Item Panel

You’ll need to set a base item first (like a pot, sandwich, burger — basically anything that holds ingredients) before you can start cooking.
  • Add Water Button: Shows up for liquid containers — it’ll auto-fill from water sources within a 9-tile radius
  • Dump Button: For some base items, this lets you empty the contents and revert to just the container
  • Craft Button: After picking your ingredients and spices, hit this to queue them up for adding
  • Rename Button: Give your culinary creation a fancy new name!

Cooking Info Panel


Cute icons give you handy tips , even total beginners can learn the system quickly. Nutrition info (calories, fat, protein, carbs) is visible depending on your skills:
  • Nutritionist Trait: See all nutrition details
  • Cooking LV2: See the digit count, but values will show as “?”
  • Cooking LV4: See values up to the hundreds
  • Cooking LV6: See values up to the tens
  • Cooking LV8: Full nutrition info, just like the Nutritionist trait

AI Contents Warning
I use ComfyUI(a AI tool that can generate pictures) to help me create drafts of these icons, and then edited them further based on that , But technically, these are AI-generated Icons.
i make all the mod on myself,so please forgive me to use AI to save some time on create images,and i do want to completely redraw it if i got time later

Ingredient & Seasoning Panel

Once you’ve picked your base item, you can add ingredients and seasonings here with a few in-game rules:
  • Selected ingredients or seasonings (or those already in the base item) show up in the title bar
  • Each base item has its own max number of ingredients — but no limit on seasonings
  • Right-click to choose between similar items with the same name
  • Each seasoning can only be added once; ingredients depend on their remaining amount
  • Double-click to add immediately; the plus sign lets you select it first, then deal with it later

Cookware Page (Beta)

A helpful little page for post-prep heating, assuming you’ve got cookware nearby!
  • Pick your cookware — if it's powered, you can turn it on or off
  • Move items in and out of the cookware via the inventory panel
  • Some basic settings can be applied to the cooker

Cook by Recipe

Yes, you can now cook using recipes, just like crafting in the base game.
  • Offers more filtering options
  • Better performance compared to the in-game crafting interface
  • All information is clearly presented at a glance


If you enjoy my mod and your circumstances allow, it would be amazing if you could buy me a cup of coffee, but first and foremost, enjoy your game!

Honestly dude, you made AMAZING job with all your UI mods, ALL OF THEM should be in Vanilla. I really hope Indie Stone will reach you and pay you to add your mods in Vanilla, because let's face it, we can ALL agree that the UI of the game is one of the worst aspect of it, and it need a BIG modern fresh upgrade since years. So they, and we NEED that in Vanilla. <3

@Praisethevillain Thank you for your feedback. I’ll consider replacing these icons when I have time in the future, but I’ll use icons that better match the game’s style instead of switching to text. I’ve always felt that PZ already has a lot of text, which can be unfriendly to new players. Using icons can help beginners quickly grasp things more easily, as people tend to process images faster than text when looking for information.

Do you have a version of this without the cutesy icons? I like the mod, but I'd rather have something more plain and informative to match the rest of the UI. Also I'm not a child.

Also, is "AI slop" the new buzzword or something? Seems like a lot of ignorant reactionaries love to scream that when they see anything remotely AI generated. It's really not that serious, guys. Generative AI is just a funny little tool. It's not going to go all Skynet on us, good lord lol.

stop crying about ai lol. if you are butthurt about it then make some icons for the dude ig. great mod

REEEEEEE YOU USED AI!

Great mod. Personally I don't give a fuck if you used AI to generate icons. These entitled mfs expect modders that work for free to be expert game designers, coders, and artists all in one. Entitled mfs can make their own icons if it's that concerning to them.
