Being able to make both [[Skewers]] and [[Biscuits]] in one Building means the Cookhouse can satisfy at least one [[Complex Food Need]] from any [[Species]] in your settlement. It is especially great for [[Harpies]], who only need [[Jerky]] from elsewhere to have all their Complex Food Needs met.
*The Cookhouse is the only non species-locked building that can produce {{rl|Porridge}}. If you need to produce Porridge but don't have {{species link|Humans}}, {{species link|Foxes}}, or {{species link|Frogs}}, the Cookhouse is your only option.
 
 
The Cookhouse is one of just a few [[Buildings]] that can produce two different [[Complex Food Need|Complex Foods]]. This short list includes:
* [[Bakery]] produces [[Biscuits]] (★★) and [[Pie]] (★★)
* [[Butcher]] produces [[Skewers]] (★★) and [[Jerky]] (★★), which leaves out [[Beavers]]' Complex Food Needs
* [[Cellar]] produces [[Pickled Goods]] (★) and [[Jerky]] (★)
* [[Cookhouse]] produces [[Skewers]] (★★) and [[Biscuits]] (★★)
 
You can park extra [[Lizards]] in the Cookhouse if their Resolve is low. Having four Worker slots means a Cookhouse can make the difference between Lizards leaving or not.
 
If your settlement produces excess [[Grain]] (or Flour from Grain), consider adding a [[Ranch]], which can use that Grain to produce both the [[Meat]] and [[Eggs]] that the Cookhouse can turn into Skewers.
 
Unless you're getting the Cookhouse for Skewers, you will need a source of Flour before the Cookhouse can be most effective and make both its [[Complex Food]]s. Make sure you get a [[Provisioner]] (★★), [[Supplier]] (★★), or [[Rain Mill]] (★★★) going first, so your [[Workers]] can start making [[Biscuits]] right away.
 
Making [[Jerky]] first is a big multiplier for turning [[Insects]] or [[Meat]] into Skewers. If you have the [[Smokehouse]] or [[Butcher]], for example, and can afford to spend [[Fuel]]-type Resources, you can multiply the number of Skewers you get from Insects or Meat by more than 3x by first making them into Jerky. If you have [[Lizards]] or [[Harpies]] in your map, Jerky will be a Complex Food need. Be careful not to spend all of your Jerky as ingredients for [[Skewers]], despite the efficiency of using the Jerky as the Skewers ingredient.
