Ingredient: Salt

Salt is an ingredient that is used constantly in Chefville. It is one of the easiest and hardest ingredients to acquire. All you have to do is visit your neighbors, complete your five actions for the day, and poof, you get a salt. Sounds easy right? What if you need 4 more salts for that next star, and you only have 3 neighbors left you haven't visited today? More Neighbors are needed then (Post on the Add Me! page, or my Facebook page to get more.)...and that's part of where the chore comes in. You sometimes end up needing SO much salt that its easy to fall asleep while clicking the next neighbor, five clicks, accept, next neighbor, five clicks, accept, next neighbor, five clicks....you see what I mean?

 Salt is used in at least 18 different recipes. Its also used in at least 16 crafting recipes, which you can then use those parts to create at least 57 other dishes. Salt is one of the most needed ingredients in ChefVille, but you can only stack up twenty of them at a time. So if you have a day with a lot of free time, don't waste it just gathering up salt.

Ingredient: Mixed Greens!

The ingredient Mixed Greens can be found right away when you start playing Chefville.

When you first open your new restaurant you won't see mixed greens anywhere on your map, however you can go shopping in the Marketplace. Clicking on the icon to take you to the market place, you're going to want to browse down to the Supplies tab. Then look through the pages until you start seeing plants. Mousing over the various plants you'll see something like, "Harvest this Potted Sunflower for Mixed Greens!" So if you buy yourself a Potted Sunflower, you'll be able to harvest yourself some mixed greens from it.

Some of the plants that produce Mixed Greens

You can harvest from your plant once every 10 minutes to receive one mixed green. You can buy as many plants as you'd like, or need, and harvest each one every 10 minutes, giving you a nearly limitless supply of greens. Unlike most ingredients you are unable to harvest your neighbors plants to try and get greens.

Mixed Greens are currently used in at least 9 recipes:

• Classic Tomato Soup
• Garden Salad
• Greens and Sauteed Mushrooms
• House Salad
• Mushroom Flatbread
• Pumpkin Casserole
• Savory Onion Tart
• Turkey Panini
• Veggie Dip

Ingredient: Eggs

You can harvest from your chicken coop once every 30 minutes to receive one egg. After you have upgraded to the egg freezer, you will receive two eggs, but still only every 30 minutes. You can also harvest at your neighbors coop/freezer, for a chance to receive eggs. Additionally there are some dishes that your your neighbors have prepared that could yield an ingredient also.

Ingredient: Cheddar Cheese

The ingredient Cheddar Cheese is not found right away when you start playing Chefville.

As you progress through the game you'll unlock an area where you'll find the Cheese Cellar. Once unlocked you'll then be able to harvest cheddar cheese from the cellar. A short time later you'll be able to upgrade your cellar to a Cheese Display.

Once you have upgraded to the cheese display, each time you harvest from the display, you have a random chance to receive one of six different types of cheeses. Also once upgraded you'll be able to repeatedly harvest for cheese, without having to wait for it to reset.

Cheddar Cheese is currently used in nine recipes:

Ingredient: Basil

Basil is a basic ingredient, and not found right away in Chefville. As you progress in game you'll find a three part quest chain titled, "The Land Down Over". In part three of the quest chain, you'll be required to expand your restaurant into the "Vineyard Gateway". Once you've done that you'll have access to the two basil plants found in this newly expanded area.

Basil Plant

Harvesting your basil plant will yield you one basil, and you can harvest your plant again after thirty minutes. You can also harvest the basil plants in your neighbors restaurants, for a chance to score another basil.

Basil itself is only directly used in two recipes: Margherita Pizza, and Coq Au Vin.
Basil is also used in the food processor along with Garlic and Salt, to create Pesto. Pesto can then be used in five recipes. So even though initially Basil doesn't seem to be of much use, you can use it to craft another ingredient that is quite useful.

Ingredient: Apple

Apples are not really available right away ChefVille. There are a couple of trees that will be found as you expand, and after that you have to buy the Apple Tree from the marketplace. Each time you harvest from the tree you'll receive one apple. It then takes eight hours before you can harvest again.

You can only harvest from your apple tree (or have it harvested by neighbors) about eight times before the tree is bare, and disappears. Then you'll need to buy a new tree to replace it. You can only own one apple tree at a time, making collecting apples a very time consuming process.

Apple are used in at least four dishes: Roasted Apple and Onion Soup, Savory Cheddar Apple Tarts, Spiced Stuffed Apples, Stay-at-the-Waldorf Salad.

You can also harvest your neighbors trees for a chance to receive an apple.

Crafted Ingredient: Tomato Sauce

The ingredient Tomato Sauce, is what is referred to as a "Crafted Ingredient". You can't find it lying around (at least not at first), you can't pick it or grow it, you have to make (or craft) it. Crafting tomato sauce requires a Mixer, which becomes available after completing part two of the quest chain: Standards of Italian Cuisine.

Crafting tomato sauce requires you to click on the mixer. You'll then select the tomato sauce from your options at the bottom, just as if you were cooking a dish on the grill. The tomato sauce requires five tomatoes, and four wild onions per sauce. After clicking start, the mixer goes to work, and you'll have to wait five minutes before you can collect your sauce.

Down the road there will be another quest allowing you to unlock a second mixer, but for now one is all you need. You may find yourself needing more friends to accomplish the goal, and get your mixer. You can list yourself on our Add Me page to list your name, if you are needing more Chefville friends.

Tomato Sauce is used in quite a few dishes including; Pommes Frites, Mozzarella Sticks, Chicken Parmesan, Moussaka, Chicken Enchilada, Classic Tomato Soup, Creamy Cheese Lasagna, Meatball Sandwich, Calzone, Beef Canneloni, Margherita Pizza, Spaghetti Bolognese, and Veggie Flatbread.

Additionally a Tomato Sauce Rack has been released, allowing you to collect tomato sauce without needing to make it. You can collect it from the rack every 15 minutes.

You can also harvest at your neighbors sauce rack for a chance to collect more tomato sauce.

The Wild Onion, starts out growing naturally in your yard. I haven't seen yet if they'll come back if you dig them all up, but you can buy a new starter plant from the Marketplace.

Onions are used in a number of recipes including; Tomato Sauce, Ranch Dressing, Philly Cheesesteak, Grilled Steak Panini, Wild Onion Bisque, Chilly Gazpacho, Southern Dumplin, and Foccaccia.

When growing in the wild, new plants will sprout daily. Each new sprout contains up to three onions, and you have to use up one energy to dig up each single onion, as you pick the onions one at a time.

Wild Onions can also be harvested in your neighbors yards, so if you find yourself running low check out your neighbors! Don't forget that you can also eat dishes that your neighbors are serving. Each dish gives you the possibility of a certain ingredient, mouse over the dish to see what you have a chance of getting from that dish.

With onions being in such high demand, you'll probably run out quickly if you don't make sure to leave some plants to grow back. Then you'll wan to purchase some more Wild Onion plants for your yard. They are available in the marketplace, and will cost you 30 hearts per plant.

Unripe Plant

After picking the tomato off the plant (or vine), the plant will then become unripe, and if you mouse over the plant, you'll see the timer counting down until the plant is ripe again.

After ripening, you'll see a nice ripe tomato plant, and you can click the plant to receive one tomato, and one XP. It costs you one energy each time you harvest a plant.

You can also harvest your neighbor's tomato plants for a chance at a tomato. So if you find yourself running low, visit your neighbors!

Ripe Plant

Currently, you can also send a tomato to your neighbors as a "free gift". So if you get in a bind, send your neighbors some tomatoes, and you can receive some in return!
