Spices
Spices raise the quality of a dish. At the Kitchen Table, one Spices turns a 1-star dish into a 2-star one: a Vegetable salad, a bowl of sauerkraut, a wine or a grape juice. The game has two items called Spices: the alchemy result, and one sold by town traders. The page covers both.
All four upgrades are unlocked together, by Transmutation I (40 green, 40 blue), which sits deep in the Anatomy line behind Reanimation Liquid. Before that, Spices are worth making for the mix itself: 2 green and 2 blue tech points and the Alchemist inspiration. The alchemy version has two green and two blue runes, which 2 Peat, 2 Ash, or a Blood with a Honey add up to at the Laboratory I.
