Food is an important resource in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for healing, stat recovery, and resistance to the heat and cold. The process can involve a ton of legwork, from hunting down lizards to finding specific plants to chasing game. Whatever the case may be for a recipe, understanding some of the best kinds of things to cook can be the difference between preparedness and a lack of it. Whether you’ve just finished playing Breath of the Wild or are starting Zelda Tears of the Kingdom anew, you’ll have to learn how to cook in Hyrule. So grab your chef’s hat. We have a list of the best food recipes in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for you to learn and use.

What Makes the Best Food Recipes in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Useful?

Dishes in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom can provide all kinds of benefits. Hasty dishes can help increase your speed if you really need to leg it out of an enemy’s way. Energizing dishes can help improve stamina, especially when you’re climbing a tall mountain. If you’re gliding down somewhere, you’d rather not test with gravity. Energizing stamina dishes can help restore that wheel in a pinch. Spicy things for cold resistance, chilly things for heat resistance, if there is something to be gained, it likely can be achieved through food. (Have you noticed that Link gets a real big smile on his face while cooking? Not a coincidence.)

Below are a few of the best food recipes to make in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. While some of the best dishes in the game can be complex, many of these aren’t. It can just be a simple matter of going to your nearest vendor selling food items or hunting down a few animals with a bow and arrow. In this article, we’ll focus on the best dishes to restore Link’s health. Because let’s face it, when you’re in a pinch with some big enemies, health is all you’re concerned about.

Spicy Sauteed Peppers

Spicy foods make for some of the best food recipes in Tears of the Kingdom.

Spicy food can help you get through a cold spot, but this dish, in particular, has some robust healing effects. Additionally, getting your hands on it is not hard, so that’s always a plus. It can heal five hearts, making it good enough for any boss battle or pinching situation. If you have extra Spicy Peppers lying around, trying this dish isn’t a waste. If you don’t know where to get your hands on some Spicy Peppers, you can find them at many locations around the map. For example, Kakariko Village has some just southeast of Central Hyrule. They’re also found in the places you’d need them the most, such as cold regions closer to the Gutanbac Shrine or places like Gerudo or Hebra. This dish is easy to collect ingredients for, so it’s one of the best food recipes in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Spicy Fruit & Mushroom Mix

The best food recipes in Tears of the Kingdom are usually ones that consist of commonly found ingredients. No use making it if the ingredients are super rare or expensive!

This is a relatively simple dish to make, and as a consequence, it only gives back Link a few hearts. However, be that as it may, the dish is easy to come by, as common as what you can find lying around on your travels. Getting all the ingredients you need for the Spicy Fruit & Mushroom Mix is almost as simple as taking a stroll in the nearby forest. Hylian Shrooms are practically everywhere in forested areas, and Spicy Peppers can be bought or found at multiple locations. If you plan on going to a colder environment, this dish can also serve as a handy cold resistance package. Just be aware this one, in particular, only gives you six minutes with each serving. The utility of the Spicy Fruit & Mushroom Mix makes it one of the best food recipes in Tears of the Kingdom for restoring health in the early game.

Spicy Pepper Steak

Like all the other spicy foods in this game, Spicy Pepper Steak offers great cold resistance. The dual purpose of this dish makes it one of the best food recipes in Tears of the Kingdom. If you plan on braving some wintery depths, keep a few of these on your person. The cold resistance time for Spicy Pepper Steak is just over eight minutes. So, a few of these can be all the cold resistance you’ll need for an entire adventure. In addition to sounding delicious by itself, this steak recovers seven hearts for Link. So even if you don’t need the cold resistance, this is still one of the best food recipes in Tears of the Kingdom for healing.

Fish & Mushroom Skewer

Some of the best food recipes in Tears of the Kingdom are the simple ones.

While some of the best food recipes in Tears of the Kingdom have a dual purpose, sometimes you just need hearts. And for that, we suggest the Fish & Mushroom Skewer. Mushrooms are common enough to find. Just take a walk in the nearby forest. The more challenging point to this equation is the seafood. On the coast of any body of water, you may find a little critter called a Bright-Eyed Crab. Catching that crustacean is the last step toward getting as many Fish & Mushroom Skewers as you need. It’s a simple meal, but it recovers seven hearts. So it’s excellent for healing.
