Cuisine of Weird wilderness

In The weird wilderness finding anything edible might prove extremely difficult (and if one has incredible luck - extremely easy). Things that look normal might be deadly and trying to pick something not poisonous from the variety of weird flora is like playing a Russian roulette with 5 bullets already loaded in the chamber. Similarly, while eating the flesh of a nature Spirit would be like eating the things it consists of, any spirits that contain toxic or inedible parts will probably be dangerous to consume.   Luckily, since the plants of the weird wilderness and spirits operate on concepts, one can introduce the concept of cooking when preparing them as meals. Since cooking is known to turn food that might be dangerous to eat into something edible. And using more professional cooking techniques might prove even more effective. Similarly, someone who already is known as a good cook will be able to influence the ingredients more than a total newbie.  

Stews

"You're kidding me, you're kidding me, right? There's no way you want me to eat that! There are stones and screws in it! What do you mean they're fruits? What am I, a moron?... You just ate it! What?"
Out of all the different dishes, it seems that the stews turn their ingredients the most edible. Maybe it's because stews are already known as dishes that you throw any ingredients you have into and turn into something delicious. Whatever the reason, some things that look poisonous or toxic have a high chance of being neutralized by putting them into a stew.  

Jams

While stews make things more edible, jams made out of Weird fruits enhance their properties. One should proceed with caution when making jam made out of those fruits as not every property is safe when enhanced. For example, making too concentrated stone fruit jam might completely turn one's body into stone when a strong enough physical trauma is enacted on them.  

Pickles

Like pickling food preserves it, pickling Weird fruits makes the duration of their properties way longer or increases the charges they carry. Properly prepared pickled fruits last twice as long as normally eaten raw ones or have twice as many charges. One needs to remember that the duration still varies a lot depending on the fruit and its quality so they shouldn't depend on them too much.  

Teas

Preparing teas out of ingredients of weird wilderness brings and enhances the healing properties of the ones that have them and reduces the toxicity of the negative ones to only cause psychotropic effects. Suffering from hallucinations is still very dangerous in the weird wilderness, but it's way better than just being dead after consuming a plant.
