Fields of Mistria Recipes

Quick answer: Cook for a purpose: stamina before a long mine or fishing day, profit when the finished dish clearly beats the ingredients, gifts when a candidate loves the result, and completion when the recipe fills an Almanac gap.

Recipe value reference

This is a utility index, not a substitute for the live ingredient panel. Recipes can be unlocked from progression, vendors, requests, and exploration, so check the in-game source when a dish is still locked.

Decide whether to cook or sell raw

Do not compare only the finished sale value with zero. Add the value of every ingredient, the cooking time, and any ingredient that is needed for a museum set or request. A small nominal profit can be a loss if it consumes a rare fish or a crop needed tomorrow.

Best uses for cooking

• Mining: favor strong restoration in compact inventory slots.
• Fishing: carry enough stamina to finish a weather-specific route without returning home.
• Gifts: cook only when the recipient’s preference is confirmed; expensive food is not automatically loved.
• Profit: batch dishes made from abundant regrowing crops or animal products after collection needs are covered.
• Completion: cook a new recipe once, then decide whether it deserves a permanent production slot.

Kitchen progression

Higher cooking skill and kitchen access expand the useful recipe pool. Keep a small stock of flour, sugar, dairy, eggs, common vegetables, and seasonal forage so a newly learned recipe can be tested immediately.
