Many thanks for this, Elisabeth!
Once we've mastered the grilled fish, I think we will all be looking forward to trying out more complicated recipes

On the bright side, if you do make a mistake in your selection order you still receive something called "Algo" that gives you 3 energy points. Not great but better than nothing
Baking for the First Time
QH Resources & Guides
When you first put on your G&S HUD, it will not have any energy in it. Yet you must have energy to be able to tend the crops. How to get going? Lets go into the Kitchen first. Its right by the Office.
First of all, look to your right once inside the door. There is a collection of cookbooks on the wall right next to the door; if you click on it, it will give you a menu of ingredients. Each button can be clicked to give you a NC for a different ingredient; the NC will list all the recipes which include that ingredient. For this dish, all we need is Fish, so you will scroll through the menu, find that button, and click it. Once youve accepted the NC, scroll down it until you find Grilled Fish. The NC tells you that this will give you 21 EP (energy points) and requires 1 Fish. You can collapse the NC but until youve successfully completed the dish I recommend keeping it visible in the viewer so you can refer to it if you need to.
Now, where to get a fish? You may have received fish in your welcome pack; there is also a barrel of fish in the corner of the Kitchen, where they are available for 2 coins. If you look at your HUD, you have 15 coins, so more than enough to buy 1 fish to get you started! Stand close to the barrel and click on it. You will get a menu asking if you want to buy or cancel. Click buy; the barrel will take 2 of your coins and deliver one fish into your inventory. Now to the oven!
G&S calls the oven (or more properly the stove) a Magic Kitchen. As in the picture shown, you want to rez your fish pretty close to the, um, oven. Usually it will find your ingredient but if it doesnt, just click the oven and then click the Search button. Now, later on when we are making multi-ingredient recipes, it will be very important to rez items and add them in a particular order, but right now we dont have to worry about (happily). Click the button "Fish". Once the fish is shown within the blue menu, click the COOK button. Some pans will appear on the cooktop and the oven will tell you that it is cooking. When it is done, the pans disappear and a message will appear over the cooktop telling you to click the oven before your food burns. Click it and it will send the completed food to your inventory. Note: The name of the food item will be in Spanish first, then English. Spanish is the language in which the system was developed but if you dont have any Spanish, usually an English translation is right there.
Time to eat! Rez the Grilled Fish, then click on it. 21 energy points will be added to your energy meter. Now you are energized and ready to do chores!

Artisan: Winemaking
QH Resources & Guides
You've harvested your grapes (or bought a basket) and now you're ready to try your hand at making wine. Here's how!
Everything you need is located at the new Winery
The wine press is located on the left. Place your barrel near the press. Touch the press and voila - a barrel of grape juice will be sent to you.
The equipment on the right (in this image) places a custom label on your barrel. You can see an example of this label on the casket to the right. Here's a closer look ...
Place all of the barrels that you would like labeled near the bench. Touch the bench and every barrel within a 10m radius will be changed. This is excellent for doing many barrels at one time but you must obviously be cautious with those that you don't want changed.
I've designed two slightly different labels so that we can distinguish Co-op owned wine from your private stocks. The "private" stock label will be the default available. Unfortunately, I have to physically replace one label with another in the bench so it's going to be a bit more difficult to get your own custom label on the barrel should you want one. More about that later.
The Aging Process
Right now you have a barrel of grape juice. Aged for four days and it becomes wine. After that it may go on to become "reserve" and after that it may go on to become "grand reserve". I believe that the quality of the grapes has something to do with this process but it's all a bit foggy right now (for all I know it's just based on some dice roll). I'll report back when I find out more.
Wine will not mature when it is in inventory. Taking it into inventory preserves it at its current state.
I would recommend that people mature their wine at their own homes. If you haven't got a spot to place your wine barrels contact Tatiana for further information regarding rental of warehouse space.
Custom Labels
Vinologists may want to stamp their own brands on their barrels.
First you must design your label. It should be an alpha texture that is 512x512. This allows the wood underneath to show through. If you don't want to use an alpha texture it will still work but you won't see the wood that is underneath the label.
I played around with this by putting an extra prim up close to the bottom of the barrel and trying different designs to see how they looked until I was satisfied.
If you're going to be doing a lot of wine, I would recommend buying your own labeling equipment. Otherwise, perhaps we can arrange for private labeling on an infrequent basis but unfortunately I cannot guarantee my availability for this. We'll do the best we can.

Goats (Verr) - Always Free to QH/LH Members!
G&S Roleplay
Excellent idea, Lady Hartfield!
If I might be so bold as to piggy-back on your post.
I regularily have male goats that are free to a good home. Purebred, all colours, excellent stats. Put in a request and I'll save one for you.

TTR-[G&S] Wool Single or Bulk BOXES & TEXTURES ~ FULL PERM
G&S Roleplay
Thanks! I was DETERMINED not to make textures for G&S but could only find seven of the nine wool textures in full perm. As the wool was overflowing my inventory I gave in and made some myself.
Now that I've started, I may do some others. Depending on my whims of course
