General Info
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, a character of your choice will most likely be required to master every recipe to finish the cooking sidequest and win the competition with 100% certainty. 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.

Well I might have to activate the DLC for this, because I have a save file with 90+ hours all recipes except mabo curry and no chef in nordopolica to hand me over mabo curry + invite, to say I am unhappy is putting it mildly. Never had this bug on the consoles.

Great guide, thanks! Do you happen to know if the cooking competition is missable? Or bugged? Because when I first unlocked it, I was able to start the quest but I lost (so I reloaded). I didn't touch the quest again until just before the final boss and now it won't start.

Went back and found the missing recipie. Good guide.
Aon 24 Jan, 2019 @ 11:26pm 
Wonder Chef won't appear for me after I mastered all the recipies w/ Estelle. Any idea why? I'm about to enter Tarqaron.
Warrior of Right 15 Jan, 2019 @ 4:26pm 
Ya of course was joking why i said it completely breaks the game as you can't just use the recipes. (Also once you redeem DLC like 360 your save is tied to it and can't play without)
TheeRickJames 15 Jan, 2019 @ 1:10pm 
Can you play coop online in this game?
Warrior of Right 12 Jan, 2019 @ 9:50am 
Or just dowload the free DLC since apparently it unlocks almost every Recipe and not just cooking, Breaking the Game..
