</>Common questions about Chef's Menu
What does Chef's Menu do in My Time at Portia?
Chef's Menu lets you open the full My Time at Portia cookbook from anywhere, without standing at a cooking station. Press the button and the recipe book pops up instantly wherever you are, whether you are deep in the ruins, out fishing, or wandering town. You can browse every recipe, read ingredient lists, and see what you still need to learn. It is built for checking what to gather before you head out and planning meals on the go. Chef's Menu is a free mod from ProjectMods, the community-first game modding platform and desktop app, with one-click install across 400+ PC games.
What does the Show Cook Book option do?
The Show Cook Book option is the single action that powers Chef's Menu in My Time at Portia. Turn it on and the game's full cookbook opens immediately, exactly as it would at a cooking station, but from wherever you currently are. You get the same recipe pages, ingredient breakdowns, and learned-versus-unlearned tracking the normal cookbook shows. There is nothing else to set up: one option, one press, instant cookbook. It is the whole point of the mod, designed so you never have to walk back to your kitchen just to remember which ingredients a dish needs before a gathering trip.
Can I see which recipes I still need to learn with Chef's Menu?
Yes. Because Chef's Menu opens My Time at Portia's actual cookbook, it shows the same learned and unlearned recipe tracking the game normally displays. You can scan the full recipe list from anywhere and spot which dishes you have unlocked and which still need a recipe before you can cook them. That makes it easy to plan what to chase next without trekking back to a cooking station first. It is especially useful for cooking-focused players working toward a complete cookbook, since you can review your remaining recipes mid-adventure and gather the right ingredients along the way.
Does Chef's Menu let me actually cook from anywhere?
Chef's Menu opens the cookbook so you can browse recipes and ingredient lists from anywhere in My Time at Portia, which is perfect for planning and checking what to gather. Actual cooking still happens at a cooking station, since the mod brings up the recipe book rather than turning your whole map into a kitchen. Think of it as your reference manual on demand: read what a dish needs while you are out collecting, then cook it when you are back at your stove. It removes the annoying walk back home just to remember an ingredient, which is the real time sink for cooking players.
Why would a streamer or content creator use Chef's Menu?
Chef's Menu is handy for content creators and streamers covering My Time at Portia because it lets you pull up any recipe on screen instantly without walking to a kitchen first. When chat asks what goes into a dish or which recipes you still need, you press one button and show the cookbook right there, keeping the stream moving. It also helps tutorial makers reference recipes mid-explanation without breaking pacing. Chef's Menu is free from ProjectMods, the community-first modding platform and desktop app with one-click install, so it is quick to add to a recording setup and toggle off afterward.
