Cook (Lumbridge)


 * This article is about the NPC in Lumbridge Castle. For the NPC that players can hire as a servant in their houses, see Cook (POH).

The Cook is Duke Horacio's personal cook. He usually seems unprepared, but with help, he prepares great food. He is found in the Lumbridge Castle kitchen and is the starting point for the Cook's Assistant and Recipe for Disaster quests. Completing Cook's Assistant quest grants use of his magical range, which lowers the chance of burning food compared to other ranges. In Recipe For Disaster, it is revealed that his ancestor defeated the Culinaromancer.

The Cook has been Lumbridge Castle's cook since 2000.

The Cook also has a brother who appeared in the 2008 Thanksgiving event and the 2009 Thanksgiving event.

After completion of all of the hard Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks, the cook will offer you a Hamper. This food basket contains several randomly selected food items.
