Thanks. After I am 0300 then which trees?
Depends on whether you want to make stuff to sell, or just grind straight to Master. If you're selling items, go up the Cooking branch to get more experimentation points and better assembly/experimentation success.
If you're waiting until after Master to sell stuff, it doesn't really matter what boxes you learn. Kiwik Swirls are the best items in any chef box to grind with: good xp, no creature resources, no subcomponents. Thakitillo is the only thing that's better, and that is a Master-level schematic, so once you can make that xp doesn't matter anyway (unless you're converting for FS xp).

By the way guys, right now I'm crafting thak to grind out the fs experimentation tree and during double xp week it only takes around 5-6 hours and 100-125k of each resource to get the entire tree. If you're bored right now or interested in it at all, now's the time

I've been doing the thak grind as well. The best part about it is that I get xp in half the time and use half the amount of resources. I'd been wondering where I was going to get 1.6 mil of each resource for the full 4 branches, but this has effectively cut that in half. 3 branches down and one more to go and then I can give up grinding for a long time to come.

Actually... the last time I was at the village, gaining fs exp was doubled this week as well, effectively halving the exchange rate for food crafting to fs crafting xp. So right now, it's like 1/4 the time/resources to get the same effect 
Note: it still says it's a 5:1 rate and the system message says you're exchanging xp at that rate, but the xp you actually get is twice what the message says
