Tears Of The Kingdom Cooking Guide 

Another thing that players might want to know about recipes is that the actual cooking process to achieve the Best Recipes is pretty easy. 

  • If you look at the raw ingredients, it typically gives you a little information about them, such as the Ironshroom that describes the cap of it as being tough and that it can be used in a dish which can further increase your defense
  • It also displays the amount of hearts it provides if you eat them without cooking them, which is typically not a lot considering raw food is not all that hearty (nice pun).

  • Other than that, if you’ve managed to cook any raw ingredient, you will also have the option to see the recipes using that particular ingredient, and that can be done by simply locating the ingredient and holding it down on the item. It allows you to eat, hold, or select the recipe

For example, looking at the Energizing Mushroom Skewer is typically able to easily refill some of your stamina wheels, which can further help you traverse across the lands and further aid you in your adventuring.

  • However, the recipes below provide a certain number of hearts and show how much stamina it can heal. 
  • For example, the recipe displayed here shows the restoration of five hearts, filling up 1 full stamina and then a little more. 

Other than that, the main way to cook Best Recipes is by roasting it, or raw ingredients can simply be lit on fire, making it much easier to increase its heart value. 

  • Food can be cooked in any cooking pot that can be found, or a portable cooking pot can also be used whenever necessary.

  • Food that has been cooked properly tends to give more hearts, or it can also up the overall period that the food effect lasts, or the effect can also become more viable. 
  • Food can be used together to make more lavish meals, but if two ingredients with the same food effect are used, they will not stack, but they will rather negate each other, and it will just give you a simple meal that restores a little bit of heart.
