I think this is actually going to be an ASCII time management game where you manage a procedurally generated kitchen to make food for people that show up. Difficulty will ramp up by increasing the number of ingredients that show up, increasing the number of kitchen stations (a deep fryer, a wok, a stove, oven, etc), and increasing the complexity of the food that the guests want. For example the cooper will want to have a stew or something like that, but that jerk Duke is gonna want a bunch of goddamn eel pies or something.

I'm going to just abstract out the ingredient finding part to your sending out minions on little quests and focus on the actual kitchen part.

As a fighter-like start with House of Feanor, go with a stat line of 2/5/4/3 or 2/4/5/3 (depending on how safe you want to feel Constitution wise). Bring your starting melee and evasion up to +10 or as close as possible. When spending XP, know that stats are usually better than skills if costs are equal (so 500xp in a stat is better than a 500xp skill in most cases), with the exception of smithing (grab just enough to get your free smithing perk of armor or weapon smithing and then ignore it). Another rule of thumb is that your melee and evasion stats should match or exceed whatever floor you are on (50' is 1, 300' is 6, etc), so you don't start falling behind in combat.

For play, try to get a bow and arrows for plinking away at stationary enemies or archers. I usually like to work towards Lore Master in Perception to not have to play the identify game and usually get a free refund on XP for the skill after it identifies everything I'm carrying. It might also be worth picking up Song of Elbereth to scare enemies away if you find yourself getting surrounded of trapped often.

This, basically.

Sprinting + Flanking is a also really nice combination and it's fun to just run circles around everything, hitting them as you go by.
