Recipe for Disaster

Recipe for Disaster (also known as Rfd) is the 100th quest released by Jagex composed of 10 subquests. The subquests range in difficulty from easy to very hard. Jagex had wanted it to be a quest where nearly any member can start it, but only the best players will be able to complete the quest.

Walkthrough



 * The Cook is preparing for the centennial feast in Lumbridge. He is going to cook using a recipe that was handed down to him by his forefathers a hundred years ago.  However, he needs your help gathering the ingredients.
 * The Cook tells you that he needs a newt's eye, a Greenman's ale, a rotten tomato, and a dirty blast.
 * When asked how to make a dirty blast, he tells you to add ashes to a Fruit blast that you made yourself (Alternatively, the Fruit Blast given by Curator Haig Halen for completing the Digsite Quest will work.)
 * The Cook also gives you 100 coins to buy everything, and allows you to keep the change.
 * Buy an Eye of Newt from any Herblore shop.
 * Greenman's ale is sold in Yanille.
 * Rotten tomato can be bought at the Duel Arena, in Yanille, or at the Varrock pillory (select "buy from" option).
 * Make a Fruit blast at the Gnome Stronghold in the cocktail bar (Note: Buying a premade fruit blast will not work for the quest, it needs to be "fresh")
 * Once you have all 4 items, give them to the Cook.

'''Congratulations! Subquest 1 of 10 complete.'''

Rewards



 * 1 Quest point
 * An invitation to the feast
 * The ability to start 8 new subquests

The Secret Council

 * Enter the doors to the dining room to begin the feast.
 * You will see many members of the Lumbridge Secret Council seated at the table:
 * A Mountain dwarf from White Wolf Mountain
 * Osman from Al-Kharid
 * Gypsy Aris from Varrock
 * General Wartface and General Bentnoze from Goblin Village
 * Pirate Pete from Morytania
 * Phineas, the Lumbridge Guide
 * Evil Dave from Edgeville
 * Skrach Uglogwee from the Feldip Hills
 * Sir Amik Varze from Falador
 * Awowogei from Ape Atoll
 * Duke Horacio

The Council frozen in time

 * A cutscene ensues where the Duke will get a visit of the Mysterious Old Man and will leave the room to deal with it. Meanwhile, Osman will get taken away by Evil Bob.
 * At this point, you enter the room. A short while later, Culinaromancer crashes the party, and starts to attack everyone at the dining table.
 * Luckily, the Gypsy from Varrock shows up, and freezes everyone in time (except you and her). After the freeze, you will be able to enter and exit the dining room at will.  You learn the Culinaromancer was a cook in Lumbridge a hundred years ago.
 * To protect each member of the council from the Culinaromancer's spell, you must feed each of them their favourite food. The Gypsy and Cook will both be there to help you.
 * You can complete these subquests in any order, and start as many of them at a time as you want. Each subquest gives 1 Quest point, and opens up further access to the Culinaromancer's Chest.  In addition to this, there are additional experience rewarded depending the subquest.

Trivia

 * Many parts of the quest reference the number 100 since this was the 100th quest that RuneScape released.
 * 'A few beers later' is a pun on 'A few years later' (This phrase was later changed to 'Several beers later')
 * When informed, (By Gypsy Aris), that the universe could be destroyed, the player exclaims, "Not the whole universe! That's where I keep my stuff!" This is a reference to the animated comedy series Futurama.
 * The 3 monkeys during Awowogei's part is a reference to the 3 Wise Monkeys, who can see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
 * Kamil shouts "Sallamakar-Ro" when he casts spells. Karamel, on the other hand, shouts "Semolina-Go".
 * Before the release of Grim Tales, this quest had the highest requirement, with 70 Cooking.
 * The names of the final bosses are a play on words of some foods:
 * Agrith-Na-Na and banana
 * Flambeed and flambé
 * Karamel and caramel
 * Dessourt and dessert
 * Gelatinnoth Mother and gelatin
 * Evil Dave still lives with his mother in the basement. This may be a joke on the secret hideouts of many villains.
 * The quest point requirement used to be only 175. It was increased to 176 after the Learning the Ropes tutorial update, which gave an extra quest point upon completion.
 * If you examine Mudknuckles while he is on the wall, it says "Half way up the wall is maybe not a naturally tenable position for a goblin."
 * The cook, after telling you about defeating the Culinaromancer, says, "Did you ever know that you're my hero?" This is a reference to Bette Midler's "Wind beneath my Wings".
 * During the quest if you ask the cook for help, he will say that you already saved the people. This is because in his current time outside of the frozen dinning room you have saved them, and therefore asking how you saved someone you already saved would cause a time paradox, as the gypsy informs you.
 * The song Chef Surprize was availible to people who did not start the quest after a glitch involving the Pest Control Update. This glitch was later fixed.
 * When you attempt to release Pirate Pete, the gypsy exclaims "Wait a moment, my gypsy-sense is tingling..." This is a reference to Spiderman.
