Complete cooking guide for ToV: Definitive Edition.
Cooking is a useful feature that can allow for HP and TP healing, ailment heals and status buffs typically at a slightly cheaper ingredient price than store bought gels. Most recipes aren’t given to the player and require you to either interact with the Wonder Chef at various locations, have specific party members cook certain recipes repeatedly, or complete side quests.
In order to unlock a title for each character except Repede, each character is required to master every recipe. The recipes are listed in roughly chronological order.
Certain characters may like or dislike recipes. Depending on whether they like or dislike a meal, the effect of the meal may be enhanced or diminished.
