I did this, because I felt everything would be pointless before that. I knew I would want to do it eventually. It was quite a boring grind, but I got each reset down to about 30 minutes and did about two a session. It feels like a game design failure.

I'm hoping for a mod in the future that lets you "reset" without losing anything.

Buy a cookbook and just start making the things that look good. It comes with practice.
