Managing Recipes and Using the Rice Bowl in Kaleidoscope Cookery
This guide explains how to manage and record recipes, including the use of the Rice Bowl, within Kaleidoscope Cookery's immersive cooking system.
Recording Recipes
To record a recipe, you need a blank recipe item. When a wok or a stockpot contains ingredients, right-click the cooking vessel with the blank recipe. This action captures the current contents of the wok or stockpot onto the recipe item.
Once a recipe is recorded, you can use it later to quickly add ingredients to a wok or stockpot. Right-click the wok or stockpot again with the recorded recipe. This will transfer all the ingredients listed on the recipe from your inventory into the cooking vessel.
The Rice Bowl
The Rice Bowl is a cooking item that has 5 specific recipes. These recipes transform prepared dishes into "on Rice" versions.

Why recorded recipes matter
Wok and stockpot dishes take several ingredients each, and the mod holds 189 wok recipes and 64 stockpot recipes on 1.21.1. Filling a vessel by hand means finding every component in your inventory each time. A recorded recipe collapses that into one right-click, which is the difference between cooking one dish and running a kitchen.
Blank recipes are cheap, so the usual approach is to record the handful of dishes you actually cook and keep them on a rack beside the stove rather than trying to catalogue everything.
Flexible recipes
Alongside the fixed lists there are flexible variants — 27 for the wok and 28 for the stockpot on 1.21.1 — which accept looser ingredient combinations rather than one exact set. When a recorded recipe will not fire, it is usually because the dish you are after is a flexible one and the vessel is holding a combination the strict recipe does not recognise.
Rice on the side
The Rice Bowl takes a finished dish rather than raw ingredients, which is why its list is short: it is the last step, not a cooking method. Cook the dish in the wok first, then convert it. Rice itself comes from 
Rice Panicle, which the millstone splits into three 
Rice Seed at a time, so a small paddy keeps the bowl supplied indefinitely.
