In Metaphor: ReFantazio, there are plenty of pastimes to explore, but cooking often gets sidelined when more urgent matters require your attention. That’s true for the most part, at least, until you unlock the Speed Cooking perk, where cooking comes naturally to you and won’t take up your day.

Prepping the right dishes ahead of a tough encounter can make a lot of difference in battle, and certain side quests even call for specific meals to make or ingredients to gather. Here’s everything you need to know about cooking, including a complete list of ingredients and every recipe you can make.
How To Cook Food
Cooking takes place on the Gauntlet Runner, which you’ll acquire after the Tournament of the Throne kicks off on 6/24. However, to cook food, the Runner has to be on the move, so you’ll need to chart a course to a destination from the Runner’s round table.
Fortunately, you’ll find plenty of time to cook while en route to different locations, from optional dungeons and remote villages to major settlements like Martira and Brilehaven.
How To Unlock Speed Cooking
Initially, cooking will take up a portion of your day, but progressing Maria’s Follower Bond to Rank Four unlocks the Speed Cooking skill. With Speed Cooking, cooking doesn’t take away from your day, which lets you spend time on other activities.
Keep in mind, though, that even with Speed Cooking, you can only cook once per time block — once in the afternoon and once at night. Plan your meals carefully, and make sure cooking takes priority over other activities in the Runner when needed after unlocking Speed Cooking.
All Cooking Ingredients And How To Get Them
Most cooking ingredients can be bought from various traders in major settlements, but some are only found randomly through specific means or areas. Below, you’ll find every ingredient as well as how to get them.
Rummaging the Pantry in the Gauntlet Runner once per day can also net you a bunch of random ingredients.
