+This is a basic guide to get you started in cooking.  The fun of cooking is trying different things to discover recipes.
+Early on your nutrition will suffer for lack of skill to make quality nutritious meals.  As long as you have food and water you should be fine with low nutrition.
+Speaking of water, you can drink any water for hydration, even salty water.
+Salt
+* Do not confuse salt with source salt.  Source salt is completely different.
+* Salt can be mined from rock salt veins.  Rock salt can be converted to salt with a grindstone
+* Salt can be made by boiling water with any amount of salt in it.
+  * If you boil salt water to make salt, make sure you're not storing the salt water in a secondary container and drawing from it as this greatly reduces the resulting quality of the salt.
+  * The best salt quality is achieved by taking your cooking container (a cauldron, typically) directly to the salt water source and filling it, then boiling it to make salt.

+Add ingredients to a cooking container inside a furnace.  Right click on your cooking container and select Lore to see if the ingredients inside make a recipe.
+Recipes that use liquid require an amount without a certain range of measurement.  Use the measuring jug to try different amounts and Lore to find the amount needed.  Pay attention to the messages in events.
+If using water for the recipe and the furnace is lit, the wrong amount of water will turn into purified water when it heats up.  Purified water cannot be used for cooking.  You'll have to remove it and try a different measurement of water.
 Wurm Unlimited has an extensive list of recipes.  Also see the Hot Food Cooking icon on the quickbar (the same button bar that has climb on it) for a list of recipes.
