The BotW recipe book

BotW recipes are one of the more playful additions to the reinvented Zelda formula. Alongside the crafting system, this offers many, many concoctions for you to discover. It’s very rare that you get given recipes, so finding them by trial and error is key to creating culinary masterpieces. Of course, some players would like to have a recipe book, and that’s what we’ve made here. Every single BotW recipe for every tasty meal.

Bookmark this page and check back here every time Link’s tummy starts rumbling. Once you’ve had your fill, check out our BotW amiibo guide to get some in-game freebies, or our Zelda BotW map rundown to make sure you actually know where you’re going. If you need a refresher on the stars of the game, check out our BotW Zelda and BotW Link, then head over to our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review to embark on a new adventure.

Let us present to you our BotW recipe book.

How do you cook in Breath of the Wild?

Cooking BOTW recipes is simple, but not tutorialised. First, you need to find a cooking pot. If it doesn’t have a lit fire beneath it, use some sort of flame to light it (or drop some flint on the wood and use a metal weapon to light it). Once the fire’s lit, it’s time to get cooking.

Go into your inventory, choose the ingredients you want, and make sure you get Link to hold them. You can hold up to five items. Once you’re holding them, exit the menu and drop them into the cooking pot. Et voila, you’re now on your way to making countless culinary creations. Bon appetit!
