Players can cook up hundreds of mouthwatering dishes in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but some of those are more helpful than others. Each dish comes with a unique set of effects, based on what ingredients go into them and the method of cooking. At some points in the game, cooking is unavoidable; on the player's first trek into the chilly Hebra region, for example, they'll almost certainly need to carry along a spicy stir-fry to warm them up. Other dishes are just as helpful, if not strictly necessary, like attack or defense-boosting skewers before a tough boss fight.
However, it's not always easy to find the necessary ingredients. TOTK does a pretty good job of spreading out the most commonly used components; there tend to be a lot of stealth-raising ingredients near areas where sneaking around could come in handy, for example. Other ingredients, however, can be harder to come by. The player may need to rely on traveling merchants' randomized inventories or sheer luck while out in the wild to obtain certain items, and so it's better to use them more sparingly in cooking. For every recipe TOTK players should know by heart, there's one they should avoid completely, lest they waste valuable crafting materials they can't easily replace.
10 Hasty Mushroom Skewer
The Hasty Mushroom Skewer is very easy to make, but its singular ingredient could be put to better use elsewhere. All players have to do to make a Hasty Mushroom Skewer in TOTK is plonk a single Rushroom down into a cooking pot. When made so simply; however, this dish only restores a single heart, and grants Link a one-minute speed boost. The healing effect is negligible, and with such a short period, the movement buff is nearly useless. Adding more Rushrooms or other basic ingredients can increase the potency of a Hasty Mushroom Skewer.
9 Dubious Food
TOTK players should avoid the purple-and-green goop of Dubious Food at all costs. There are a variety of ways to make it; accidentally combining monster parts or inedible materials with food items is the most common way, but it's also possible to whip it up by combining several incongruous flavors. Players will know they've messed up when the normally cheery cooking tune turns to the sound of smashing plates as smoke wafts from the frying pan. Dubious Food isn't completely useless; it can restore a couple of hearts, but Link's grimace when he eats it tells the whole story.
8 Copious Mushroom Skewer
TOTK players can serve up a Copious Mushroom Skewer by combining one mushroom of each of the four types. The types selected are up to the player, which inevitably means that the dish will incorporate at least two mushrooms that would normally have special effects. However, combining multiple ingredients with different buffs means that all their effects are neutralized, resulting in a dish that restores a few hearts, but nothing more. Instead, players are better off using stat-boosting mushrooms in individual dishes, curated to take advantage of their special effects.
7 Buttered Stambulb
This one must be delicious: hearty, aromatic Stambulbs caramelized to umami perfection in creamy Goat Butter. They may sound like an amuse-bouche at a five-star Hyrule restaurant, but Buttered Stambulbs are pretty passé when it comes to stamina-restoring dishes. They only grant Link one heart, and about a quarter of a ring's worth of stamina; not exactly enough to scale Death Mountain. There are many better stamina-restoring recipes in TOTK, but even so, ingredients that increase Link's maximum stamina like Endura Shrooms are preferable.
6 Wheat Bread
Being able to bake in TOTK is a really charming idea - there's something so evocative about Link baking a soft hunk of Wheat Bread. In practice, however, there's not much to this recipe. All it requires is Tabantha Wheat and Rock Salt, and it only restores two hearts. Rock Salt is pretty plentiful, but Tabantha Wheat may be harder to come by, as players need to scour the harsh Tabantha Frontier for it, burning through warming ingredients in the process. Traveling merchants rarely stock it, and it can be purchased from a store in Gerudo Town, but that wastes the player's precious Rupees. Players are better off avoiding most baked goods.
5 Meat/Fish And Mushroom Skewers
Slap together a piece of meat or fish and a mushroom without any special effects and throw it on the grill, and the invariable result will be one of these bland skewers. They're not half bad, and depending on the ingredients used they can actually restore quite a few hearts. However, something as simple as replacing plain old Hylian Shrooms with Ironshrooms, or Hyrule Bass with Hearty Bass, can elevate this dish with a special effect.
4 Fried Wild Greens
Wild Greens are among the most plentiful ingredients in TOTK, although there's no single item called Wild Greens that can be found in the game. Instead, the term refers to a broad category of ingredients, including herbs, flowers, and vegetables, with a variety of different effects. Combining the most boring ones, however, results in a dish of Fried Wild Greens. There are so many of these ingredients that wasting them isn't the end of the world, but things like Hyrule Herbs are better for beefing up other dishes than serving à la carte.
3 Crab Stir-Fry
Goron Spice is one of the rarest ingredients in TOTK. There's only one place to get it - Tanko's General Store in Goron City - and Tanko only stocks three bottles a day. It can be used in a variety of savory dishes, but the worst one is Crab Stir-Fry. Combining shellfish and spices for a sort of Cajun-inspired seafood dish may be delicious, but all it does in-game is restore a handful of hearts. Choosing a more lively crustacean, like the Bright-Eyed Crab, makes for a stamina-replenishing feast. However, players might prefer to save their Goron Spice for a Warding Dark Curry, which provides Gloom resistance.
2 Sautéed Nuts
Made by chucking any number of Acorns or Chickaloo Tree Nuts into a pot, Sautéed Nuts might restore the lowest amount of health of any properly cooked food item in TOTK. At just half a heart per nut used, Sautéed Nuts are no better than their roasted counterparts. In fact, they're even more difficult to make, since they require a full cooking setup instead of just an open flame. Like Hyrule Herbs, Acorns and Chickaloo Tree Nuts make for better seasonings than as main ingredients.
1 Wildberry Crêpe
Consisting of tart Wildberries simmered to a jammy consistency, topped with whipped cream, and rolled up in a soft, thin fried dough, the thought of a Wildberry Crêpe has left many a TOTK player drooling. As sumptuous as they sound, however, Wildberry Crêpes are best avoided. This extremely complicated recipe calls for five ingredients. Two of them (Sugar Cane and Fresh Milk) must be bought, and can never be found in the wild. Worse still, since there's no room in the pot for any additional ingredients and no varieties of the existing ones with special effects, all this dish will ever do is restore ten hearts.
While there are many recipes in TOTK that don't take full advantage of their ingredients, cooking is never a complete waste of time. Even the worst recipes restore a little bit of health, and with a degree of randomness to every dish's results, simple dishes can sometimes surprise the player. While rarer ingredients should always be used sparingly, there's no reason to be afraid of a little experimentation in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's kitchen; the chance of discovering a new favorite recipe always outweighs the risk of waste.
