Introduction
I didn't see a guide that showed enough details about the actual stamina gained after cleaning, foraging, and crafting costs, so I started tracking that information down and it helped me a lot in knowing which recipes to bother with and which to avoid while playing, so I hope it helps others, too.

Moving forward, keep these basics in mind:
  • It costs 10 stamina to craft two items together
  • It costs 5 stamina to clean one item

If you find any mistakes or have any questions, let me know and I'll see if I can correct or clarify it.

*The cleaning cost for Jam does not apply if you sell it since you only get a free dirty jar if you eat the Jam.

* Gold Profit:Stamina Lost is the ratio of how much gold you profit vs. the stamina cost to create it. The higher the number, the better it is to sell. Note that Jam is by far the most profitable in this regard.

** Gold Profit:Stamina Profit is the ratio of how much gold you profit vs. the stamina gained when eating it. The higher the number, the better it is to sell. Note that because Thick Pancakes offer a zero stamina profit, it may be best to sell them, or don't bother making them. Mushroom Pasties win this one.
