Each recipe turns yellow only 10 levels below the requirement of the next recipe . To level up your cooking from level 1 , make 70 of the Spice Bread , followed by 70 of the Spice Bread Stuffing , then 70 of the Pumpkin Pie , and 65 of the other recipes ( Sweet Potato , Chutney , and Turkey ) in turn , learning each next recipe when it becomes available .
