The attached files contain guides to making stew in Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children. These files have been created in several different formats, ranging from illustrated recipe books in PDF format to Excel spreadsheets. The creator of each guide is noted in the file name. Thanks to everyone who prepared these guides for our community!

NOTE: To get rid of a stew that you no longer want, you can either wait for it to disappear, or you can quit your game and launch it again (or switch to a different game slot and switch back).

For people who are unable to view or use the files above, Borg has kindly compiled the information contained in them into a text format.

I hope this helps you become a better chef. Note that since B is already for Blue, I used V for Black. I picked V because it is a black -V-ine. If anyone finds errors, PM me with the errors and I will edit and correct this post.      -Borg

I would also like to acknowledge the work of the following people and their guides. They did all the research making the 56 different stews and documenting the results. (all I did was format this reply so you could read it):
