Modlet for making food recipes

[eXSe]

I'd like to make my own food recipes and I could (maybe) manage to do it by fiddling with game files, but I'd much rather learn to do it in a modlet form if possible. So, if anyone has any tips on how to do it I'd appreciate that very much... a simple example (like 3 ingredients soup would be awesome - meat, water plus a herb maybe).

Folder Structure for mod:
MODNAME

  -modinfo.xml

  -[folder]Config

  --recipes.xml

  --items.xml

 

That's a VERY basic example, but should get you started - The easiest way to learn simple modding (like adding a food), is to find a similar item in the game files, and just copy it, changing what you need to.
