The '''cook''' is the head cook of [[Lumbridge Castle]]. He usually seems unprepared, but with the player's help, he prepares great food. He is the starting point for the [[Cook's Assistant]] and [[Recipe for Disaster]] [[quests]]. He can be found in the Lumbridge Castle kitchen on the {{FloorNumber|uk=0}}. The cook has 4 children and a goat.

When the Cook's Assistant quest is completed, the player is granted use of [[Cooking range (Lumbridge Castle)|his special range]], which has a lower chance of burning certain [[food]]s compared to other [[range]]s.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lumbridge Cook recipe book.png|thumb|right|The Cook's recipe book as seen in the [[20th Anniversary event]].]]
* In the [[20th Anniversary event]], the Cook's recipe book is shown to be extremely crude. The Cook also admits to having burnt every single cake he ever attempted to bake in his life, explaining his constant need to ask adventurers to get him ingredients.
