Cooking allows you to combine raw food and ingredients to create finished dishes. Cooked food provides more substantial benefits than raw food. Cooking can only be done at designated campsites, cooking pots and cooking spits. Specific recipes must be followed, which specify the raw foods that must be combined.
All of the recipes listed below are available at the beginning of the game, even if their associated ingredients are not. For recipe information related to baking, see this page.
