The camp bell rings and you realize one thing: someone has to feed the party or the run dies on the next pull. The cooking station became a war room. I learned that the hard way—then I refined a method that will save you time and revive your best runs.
I’m going to walk you through every recipe, how the rating system works, and the few sharp decisions that separate a decent kitchen from a supply-line that keeps your team alive. You’ll see exact ingredient mixes, where to focus your farming, and when it’s worth buying a small pack on Steam or checking a Discord trade—yes, some creators on YouTube and Reddit have spreadsheet-ready drop charts that I use when I plan a grind. Recipes are treasure maps to survival.
How to cook all recipes in DragonSword: Awakening
You’ll notice the pantry fills quickly during the first few hours of play. The game has 73 standard cooking recipes (74 if you count the toxic Mysterious Dish). They’re split into three categories: Grilling, Boiling, and Slice, and higher-rated ingredients upgrade the result—three 4-star ingredients become a 5-star dish. For single-ingredient dishes, tripling that ingredient is the way to a 5-star outcome.
How many cooking categories and recipes are there?
Short answer: 3 categories and 73 recipes you can depend on for healing, buffering, or bringing a teammate back from the dead. Grilling houses most immediate heals and regen; Boiling packs the resurrection teas and hearty stews; Slice delivers uncooked boosts and versatile bowls.
All Grilling recipes
If you play a session you’ll spot grilled items everywhere in vendor lists. There are 29 grilling dishes, most of them focused on healing via instant HP or regeneration. Use higher-grade ingredients to boost their potency.

How do you make 5-star dishes?
Three 4-star ingredients will elevate a dish to 5-star. For single-ingredient meals like Grilled Meat, use three copies of that ingredient. For mixed recipes, plan your farming so you collect three high-ranked components—this is where a short session on Steam market checks or a quick Discord trade can save hours.

Can cooking revive a fallen ally?
Yes. Several boiling teas provide a resurrection effect—Grain Tea is available early, and working toward upgraded versions is worth the grind if you play with permadeath or hard modes. Keep at least one stack for raid runs; a $4.99 (€5) ingredient pack can speed the process if time is money for you.

Practical tips and a short plan
You’ll save time by farming purposefully. I split sessions into: gather core proteins (Meat/Fish/Seafood), hoard three 4-star copies of the ingredient I want to upgrade, and keep a small herb stack for boiling teas. Use Steam guides or a pinned Discord channel to track spawn rates instead of guessing.
If you value speed, a modest spend—say $4.99 (€5) for an ingredient bundle—will shave hours off farming. Watch a few Twitch streamers who run speed-farm routes; their movement patterns tell you where to harvest efficiently.
Now that you have the full list and a plan, which recipe will you farm first and why?
