Cooking is one of the best ways to receive a needed push in and outside combat encounters. Some Recipes will grant you extra Defense, with others increasing the Quality of Materials you Gather, and much more.

Cooking Overview

As touched on above, Cooking is a crucial aspect of Atelier Ryza 3, as it will grant you tremendous buffs and bonuses that can greatly help you out when Gathering, during combat, or when Synthesizing new things at your Atelier.

However, aside from the first time you set up Camp and are introduced to the concept of Cooking, it sort of gets buried in the background, leaving the onus on you to seek out Recipes and stop at Bonfires yourself to Cook.

Bonfires are found throughout each region and are marked on your Map and Mini-Map by a blue icon with two logs and a flame, which you can see when zooming in on your map by holding down the R2 (PlayStation) button.

How To Cook

To Cook in Atelier Ryza 3, you must simply rest at a Bonfire and select the "Cook" option from the menu. From here, you can choose one of the many Recipes you have obtained, which will trigger a cutscene of Ryza preparing it, granting you its bonus when it ends.

Fortunately, you do not need Ingredients of any sort to make these meals. This means that you only need to obtain the Recipe to make the meal, and you can make them as much as you like without worrying about having to Gather resources to make them.

The bonus effects of a meal last for a specific duration, which can ultimately be enhanced via the Skill Tree with the Food Stat Buff Level One and Two upgrades.

Obtaining Recipes

Despite having access to many Recipes for meals by default, you can obtain lots more of them by following the Woman in Pursuit of the "Ultimate" sub-quest.

This questline has you track down a Chef traveling across each region searching for the "Ultimate Ingredients," ultimately having you find her the Ingredients she's looking for and trading you unique things for them.

While you will sometimes receive Materials for your Alchemy, you will almost consistently earn Cooking Recipes through this questline, making it a crucial sub-quest to tackle as soon as possible.

An easy way to track down the Chef is by opening the map by pressing Down on the D-Pad and zooming in with R2 (PlayStation). From here, you will see small icons of faces, showing you where NPCs are located.

Hover over each NPC icon, and you will see some will be named, which typically indicates they have a quest for you to take on. Look for the "Woman in Pursuit of the Ultimate" NPC to quickly locate her position.

All Cooking Recipes

Now that you have the gist of how Cooking works in Atelier Ryza 3 let's go over every Cooking Recipe in the game, what they do, and how to obtain them.

Like we covered in the section above, some Cooking Recipes will be available to you from the jump, while others will be obtained via the Woman in Pursuit of the Ultimate questline. As a result, we have split them into separate sections to keep both tables clean and to the point!
