There definitely is a lot more to the rewards than what's currently documented. I have a few ideas.

Right now, we know that some recipes satisfy certain cravings more than others. Maybe this 'dominant' craving should be italicized and/or always listed first, so the sort function guarantees to use it as the reference.

Salt is still not yet fully understood. I believe it slightly increases the rewards as well as the timer, but I need confirmation.

Freshness is mostly irrelevant, since most of the time the dish will offered shortly, if not immediately, after it is prepared. It would be nice to have a general formula for the reward reduction of stale and spoiled dishes.

As for the recipes themselves, the game files would've made things much easier... all I know is doable right now is trial&error testing and evidence-based assumptions using Klei's recipe book and what we know works and what doesn't. By the way, thank you for all of your updates. I suppose each veggie is special in its own way.
