Cooking Stations
To cook any meal or beverage in Fallout 76, you will first need to find a cooking station in the game. You will find plenty of them scattered around in the wild or you can build one yourself at your C.A.M.P. if you have the plans for it. You cannot build without finding the plans first.
Also, to cook a certain item, you will need to find different recipes for meals and beverages all scattered around the game. You will find cooking recipes in restaurants, kitchens, hotels and cafes. Check any that you come across on your travels to find recipes so that you can cook yourself later at your camp or cooking stations spread around the map.
