Honestly, there is nothing so far that is not 100% wing-able...

I have a lot of fun making my first progress burst with Name-oF / Brand Of... I barely use Maker`s Mark anymore.

I like what they did to specialists, they are very potent but not a necessity. I hope they never go back to locking recipes behind them.

The thing is, with the addition of the Tea`s on top of food, You have so much flexibility that you can wing most of the recipes with great success. The 3.0 thought process is still valid. Specialists should be renamed RNG negators really...
