Holiday Cooking

The Holiday Cooking event started on December 18, 2012. Users could find ingredients and recipes that were scattered around the DC website. After collecting the first ingredient, participants in the event gained an apple pie badge, which is displayed at the top of their scrolls. By combining the basic ingredients, new recipes could be discovered, and new ingredients (which were made from the new recipes) were created. After users collected all of the 17 basic ingredients, the "red star" recipe cards started to drop. Each one of the "red star" recipe cards will give a user a ticket for the site-wide raffle. Unlike the standard recipes, which could be discovered by experimenting with the blank recipe cards and ingredients, It was not possible to create a dish from a red star recipe until the user found the relevant recipe card.

There are two main types of recipes which are labeled as "Preparation" and "Oven". It takes a lot of trial and error to attempt recipes. For successful recipes you gain the recipe card. For failures, the following message is displayed:

"You throw all of the ingredients together... And the result is a giant mess. You toss it into the garbage before anyone notices."

Badges
After finishing all recipes the apple pie badge will transform into a pumpkin pie badge.

Frequently Asked Questions

 * Where do I get ingredients?
 * Basic ingredients have to be gathered. You can find them randomly around the site. More advanced ingredients have to be made from combinations of the basic ingredients.

Once you have all of the basic ingredients, you'll be able to find advanced recipes around the site instead. These advanced recipes cannot be discovered, even if you know the ingredients.''
 * Where do I get recipes?
 * ''Experiment! Lots of recipes can only be discovered by choosing the right combination of ingredients.

A lot of key items can be made by cooking or preparing a single ingredient. Once you have these, you'll be able to prepare advanced recipes more easily. Also, try looking at advanced recipes. See what items you don't have, and think about how you could possibly make those missing items.''
 * I can't discover any recipes!
 * ''That's not a question, but here's some help anyway:


 * How do the raffle tickets work?
 * You get one raffle ticket for each advanced (starred) recipe you successfully make. You only get entered once per recipe; even if you make the item multiple times, it only counts the first time.


 * How do I cook on a mobile device?
 * The cooking feature works just fine on mobile browsers. Simply tap the recipe you want to make, or tap ingredients to add them to a blank recipe.


 * How do I know when I'm done?
 * When you're done, your badge will change from an apple pie to a pumpkin pie. If this happens, you have discovered and made all of the recipes.
