We all have to start somewhere. That’s the inspiration behind this small but mighty collection of recipes for absolute beginners. We’re talking can-hardly-boil-water beginners. Maybe you just graduated from college and are on your own for the first time, or perhaps you never quite got the hang of cooking. Not to worry! These dishes — ranging from a no-cook tuna mayo rice bowl to oven-roasted chicken thighs with potatoes and lemons — are a fantastic place to start. Because no one wakes up one day and can suddenly, say, run a marathon or, in this case, cook.

But anyone can make something good to eat. With a little help from our Cooking columnists Melissa Clark, Genevieve Ko and Eric Kim, you’ll become the cook you always wanted to be: a confident one. Start with the recipes below, which are ordered from easiest to hardest. With practice, repetition and patience, you’ll not only develop a set of skills that you can apply to other New York Times Cooking recipes, but you’ll have 10 delicious dishes under your belt worth cooking on repeat.
You’d be amazed by how much great cooking you can do without ever turning on the stove. Take this tuna mayo rice bowl: All you need is canned tuna, your favorite mayo, leftover rice and whatever you want to sprinkle on top. Sesame seeds add a nutty little crunch; roasted seaweed, such as nori or furikake, offer crispy saltiness; and scallions bring a delightful freshness. Think of it as a blank canvas and get creative.
Recipe: Tuna Mayo Rice Bowl
Here’s your chance to prove (and share) your culinary mettle. All you need to make this guacamole is a sturdy bowl, a fork and some elbow grease. Mash your avocados et al. until smooth — or chunky if you’re big on contrasting textures. Then, take the opportunity to learn how to taste as you go, adding salt along the way, deciding whether to throw in jalapeño seeds for spicy heat and squeezing in more lime juice if you like your guacamole tangy. Just be sure to wash your hands after handling the jalapeños! (The capsaicin that makes them spicy can also irritate your eyes and skin.)
Recipe: Guacamole

All right, it’s time to get the stove into the mix. Grab a nonstick skillet because it’s really going to take you places, starting with cheese-pull heaven when you make this quesadilla. Here, you’ll want to lean into mess-making, sprinkling cheese not just inside your tortilla but along the edges as well for a latticelike halo of crispy-crunchies.
Recipe: Crispy Quesadilla
If you’re staring down a tough day, start it off strong: Few dishes can do that better than really good French toast. In this case, you’re using standard sandwich bread, which becomes especially custardy because it’s thin, soft and cooks quickly, but sourdough, milk bread and brioche will all work just as well. Just give the slices a little time to soak up all that rich, eggy milk before they hit the pan.
Recipe: French Toast

Cereal, take the day off because it’s eggs-on-toast time. Here’s your chance to practice your egg cracking skills — be confident — and to really unlock the beauty of butter-scrambled eggs. It’s also a lesson in temperature control, keeping the heat low to help you avoid overcooking your eggs. If you’re vegan, a tofu scramble is just as doable, and cooking with olive oil in place of butter will taste just as good.
Perhaps you’ve heard about the glories of cooking on sheet pans. For those who are busy, have limited means or time, or have picky eaters to feed, sheet-pan cooking can be a lifesaver. You’ll be blown away by the flavorful, satisfying meals you can pull off with nothing but a sheet pan, including these simple roasted vegetables that you can mix-and-match according to your taste.
Sheet pans aren’t just great for cooking vegetables. You can also put them to use when it’s time to throw some protein into the mix, as in this done-in-a-flash broiled salmon. Even better, there are all manner of ways you can flavor your salmon — brown sugar and mustard, miso and mirin, citrus and herbs — while sticking to this broiling blueprint.
Recipe: Broiled Salmon With Mustard and Lemon
Break out the saucepan, the last of the kitchen items you’ll need to complete this cooking marathon. When it comes to one-pot meals, this tofu curry is simple to pull off, with a fragrant coconut sauce that imparts its flavor to broccoli, tofu and onions. And with all the fat and liquid coming from full-bodied coconut milk, vegan cooks will rejoice.
Recipe: Vegetable Tofu Curry
What better way to feed a big group than this hearty turkey chili? (It’s also a great way to make lots of meals for yourself: Leftovers will last for days in the fridge or a month in the freezer.) The recipe starts with frying onions and canned tomatoes in olive oil before adding chili powder and chipotles to the mix for spice and heat. You’ll have to let things burble away for a good 20 minutes, but you can trust that, like these 10 recipes, the process is working.

OK, time to roast a whole chicken! Just kidding: Let’s start with just the thighs, and work from there. When you’re seeking comfort and an all-in-one dinner, this lemony chicken will deliver and leave you feeling very accomplished in the process. The result will warm the soul, with just a touch of zip and zing from a generous helping of lemon juice.
Recipe: Lemony Chicken With Potatoes and Oregano
This isn’t the end of the kitchen marathon — it’s just the beginning. We hope you come out of cooking these 10 recipes feeling capable enough to feed not only yourself but the people you hold nearest and dearest as well. Even at the start of this journey, you’ll find the joy in cooking. And it only gets better.
In Raft The Final Chapter, your base of operations is floating across the ocean. However, Your sole objective is to collect resources and uncover the plot behind the Raft. Also, you have to keep in mind your hunger bar. For that, Raft also introduced a Juicer.
The game recently got one of the most significant updates. The update included an all-new cooking system. However, a Raft juicer is also now the part of the game, which was also included in the update.
This update is supposed to make the game complete as before; at a certain point, the content felt missing. Now the game is in its final stage, where the whole of the story has been revealed.
The juicer is a recently added item through which you can blend together ingredients to make a smoothie. The Raft Juicer is the perfect machine that will light up your kitchen in Raft. However, if you add some ingredients and supply it with power, then it will provide you with a refreshing smoothie.
Also, this smoothie will reduce your hunger while also giving you a buff. As mentioned before, Raft is a survival game that also includes a hunger and thirst mechanism. To please your hunger and thirst, you must eat and drink. So these smoothies will be very effective in Raft.
There are three primary ways to get ingredients in Raft. The first method is to grow some of the ingredients. For example, mangos can be grown if you have found a seed. And to grow these mango seeds, you require a large crop pot. You will also have to provide the pot with water. After the mango tree has been fully grown, it will provide you with mangos and mango seeds.
The next method is to collect the ingredients from the islands and loot barrels. This method is very straightforward.
All you have to do is explore the islands, and eventually, you will start finding random ingredients. Look for certain items in certain places, like for mangos, look for a mango tree.
The last method has been recently added with the new 1.0 update. The method requires you to find a trading station that will spawn randomly on the islands. Go to these trading stations, and here, you can trade other items for certain ingredients.
During trading items, you will build a reputation with the trader. As your reputation increases, you will unlock new ingredients and recipes.
To make smoothies, you first have to acquire the recipes for them. You can get these recipes by trading at the trading station. Eventually, when your reputation increases, you will unlock more recipes. The recipes and their buffs up until now have not been fully revealed to us. Once you have gathered the recipe, head towards the juicer and blend together the listed ingredients. Now, here are all the recipes that we have found till now:
To make the smoothie, you will require a mango, pineapple, and coconut. One of each. Now blend these ingredients to make a simple smoothie. The effects of the smoothie are still unknown.
For the Raft Juicer Recipe, you require two beetroots, one coconut, and one turmeric. Now, after blending these together, you will receive a red smoothie which will increase your health in Raft after consuming it.
Next, Juicer Recipe requires one pineapple, one chilly, and two strawberries to make this refreshing, spicy drink that will give you a very noticeable buff in your swimming speed.
For the Red melon Recipe in Raft The Final Chapter, you will need one of each of the following ingredients: berry, strawberry, watermelon, and a coconut. These are all the ingredients that you will require to make this pink drink. As of now, there are no known effects.
The drink is exactly what the name suggests. 1 banana and one mango mixed with a bucket of milk are all you require to make the Mangonana. Effects are unknown.
For the Strawberry Colada recipe, you will need one pineapple, one strawberry, and two coconuts. These are the ingredients that you require to make this colada. The effects of the colada are unknown.
The next Juicer Recipe requires three coconuts and one beetroot to make the mouth-watering drink in Raft The Final Chapter. And as of now, the effects of the drink are unknown.
Now, to make this silverish drink, you will require one mango, one banana, one bucket of milk, and one silver algae. The effects of the smoothie are unknown.
These were all the recipes in Raft The Final Chapter that Redbeet has up until now have released. However, we are confident that they will release more in the future. And the uses of every smoothie have still not been figured out as the game’s update was recently released.
Now with this, we bring our guide to an end for now. Also, we hope you enjoyed the content of the guide. And, if you know any more recipes related to the juicer or their buffs, then please let us know through the comment section down below.
Raft is an open-world survival game that was initially released in 2018. The game is developed by Redbeet. However, the publisher of this game is Axolot Games. Raft is built upon a unique concept of survival. It is an adventurous game where you have to travel across vast oceans to visit different islands and locations.
