Cooking in Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon can be a deeply satisfying experience. Not only does it allow you to enjoy the culinary arts, but it also helps you level up through a unique cooking skill that improves with every dish you prepare. Beyond the extra experience, cooking enables you to create various meals that offer healing benefits and other effects.
If you’re eager to learn the best recipes in the game while experimenting with your culinary skills, there’s a straightforward way to get started. We’ll guide you to some essential recipes, even if you haven’t unlocked them yet.
Where to Find the Best Cooking Recipes
If you’re familiar with the Bonfire, you’ve likely tried cooking before. Cooking is distinct from Alchemy; cooking focuses on turning food ingredients into meals, whereas alchemy is about transforming materials into useful potions. To make the best meals, you’ll first need a good stock of food ingredients.
Tip: Ingredients can often be found in crates and barrels throughout the world. A great spot to gather some free resources is around the Horns of the South stronghold. It’s an ideal place to test out some cooking recipes.
There are two primary methods to prepare meals: by combining ingredients manually or using pre-set recipes. You can find recipe books scattered throughout the game, which will unlock these pre-set combinations for you.
To get a jumpstart on your cooking journey, make your way to Ruairc, who can be found in the kitchen area of the Horns of the South stronghold. He has the following recipe books available:
- Cooking For The Resistant, Part One
- Culinary Madness With Rumpolt, Part One
- Culinary Madness With Rumpolt, Part Two
Fortunately, you can create impressive dishes based on what you know, so you won’t always need to find specific recipes.
