1. Enter the Prontera castle (located top center prontera). Inside, in the basement off to the left, you should find 3 NPCs, "Charles Orleans", "Girl holding a cat", and "Madeleine Chu".

Madeleine Chu will give you the quest. Charles Orleans will teach you about cooking your first food. Once you complete the quest, Chu will sell you cooking kits and Orleans will lend you cooking manuals.

2. Talk to Madeleine Chu.

Out of the three options it gives you, chose "I want to learn how to be a cook". Madeleine will ask you to speak to her master. In order to show your enthusiasm, you will be asked to wear a chef hat.

3. Wearing the chef hat, talk to Charles. After talking to him, he will chose a random level 1 food to make. He'll tell you the ingredients for this food, and you'll need to bring them to him.

4. After bringing him the required items, you'll make your first food item together. Unlike with normal food creation, this attempt will always succeed. He'll give you the food item that was created. You may use or vend it, but you should hold onto it for later use in this quest.

5. After you're done making the food, return to Madeleine. Madeleine will let you have his copy of the Level 1 Cookbook, and give you 10 Outdoor Cooking Sets.

6. Now that you have a Level 1 Cookbook, you'll be able to make food items on your own now. Madeleine will sell you Outdoor Cooking Sets for 500z, but still won't sell you any Home Cooking Sets.

This time, you will need to ask them if they want to see your cooking. You will be asked to create one of each kind of level 1 food (Look in your cookbook for recipes). A set of ingredients to attempt every item in cookbook 1 includes: 5 grasshopper's leg, 3 old frying pan, 2 cooking oil, 10 nipper, 10 green herb, 1 yellow potion, 5 grape, 3 red potion, 1 honey, 10 spawn, 1 squid ink, 1 bag of grain, 5 yoyo tail. If the attempt to create food is unsuccessful, more ingredients will be needed to re-attempt those foods.

You can buy Bag of Grain in Louyang (255,123) and Cooking Oil in Juno (133,171); see Cooking for more information.

7. Once you're done, bring Madeleine your foods that you've made. You can use the one you created with Charles as one of these foods. Madeleine will package these foods in a "Bundle of Food", and you'll need to bring it to her friend Chulsoo in Payon.

8. Deliver the bundle of food to Servant (Chulsoo) in Payon (208, 127), and select the option "Actually, Madeleine sent me...". Doing this quest will close off the other options presented by Chulsoo and they will no longer be accessible. Therefore, you may choose to try Chulsoo's other options before selecting the Madeleine option.

9. Return to the Prontera cooks. Madeleine will give you 10 Home Cooking Sets. At this point, Madeleine will allow you to buy Home Cooking Sets for 1000z. They're a bit pricier than regular cooking sets, but the higher success rate makes them more useful.

10. Talk to Charles once again. Charles will now let you use his cookbooks if you help him with some items he needs.
