I've been working on Recipe for Disaster for a looooong time. I'm finally down to the last two mini-quests, one of which is Evil Dave. I examined him in the dining room and talked to the gypsy. I completed all of the quests to be able to do the Evil Dave part, too, but when I went to Doris's house with my cat to talk to Dave, he won't tell me about the food he ate at the dinner party. I have tried every conceivable reply, but he won't talk about it and my character just ends up saying "Never mind". Is this a computer fluke? Or is there something my character still has to do before talking to Evil Dave in his "Basement of Doom"...? Help, please?

Inspect Evil Dave, and you will find out that you have to make a stew, which has to be seasoned in a particular way. To find the recipe, you must talk to someone who has tasted it. You have to talk to Evil Dave in Edgeville to find out.

 

 

 

Go to Edgeville and talk to Evil Dave. He is living in the Basement, in the house just west of the Bank. Talk to him, and you will get a list of options which you use to explain about the time bubble. Pick the 4th option and he will tell you to ask his mom for the recipe, eventually.

 

 

 

Buy around 10 bowls, fill them in the sink in the Lumbridge Castle courtyard, then get the remaining ingredients for the stew: potatoes, and cooked meat. You can also buy the stews from the Barman in Seers' Village or in the Keldagrim City. After you have the stews, teleport to Edgeville using a Glory Amulet. You may also make a Waka Canoe, or the one below it.

 

 

 

Go upstairs and talk to Doris. Ask her for the spices to make a stew, and she will say that Dave's Hell-rats stole them all. Go back downstairs, and catch hell-rats till you get various spices. Use 1 spice at a time. Start by using the spice once, test it by using it on Evil Dave. He will tell you if you have the right amount of spice. If it is not, repeat this process with two helpings of spice. If that is correct note it. If not, then it requires 3 helpings of spice. Once you get that colour, record it and then do the next colour.

 

 

 

Once you have all 4 spice quantities correct add them all into a bowl of stew and give it to him. He will say it is the right stew. He will start to eat the stew, but you will stop him from eating it all. Take the remaining part of the stew to Lumbridge Castle (quickest via teleporting). Once there, use this stew with the frozen Evil Dave. You will then be rewarded.
