How to Unlock All Cooking Recipes
Cooking is a useful feature that can allow for HP and TP healing, ailment heals and status buffs typically at a slightly cheaper ingredient price than store bought gels. Most recipes aren’t given to the player and require you to either interact with the Wonder Chef at various locations, have specific party members cook certain recipes, or complete side quests.
In order to unlock a title for each character except Repede, each character is required to master every recipe. The recipes are listed in roughly chronological order.
Certain characters may like or dislike recipes. Depending on whether they like or dislike a meal, the effect of the meal may be enhanced or diminished.

Right before heading off to Zaude (might be able to do this earlier), you can talk to a man in Capua Torim near the western exit in front of a carriage to start the ‘Fish Juice” sidequest. Talk to him again when you have 1 of the following: cabbage, tofu, kelp, scallops, salmon, squid and shrimp. These are all common cooking items. After you’ve talked to him again, you need a Sharp Blade and a Flare Stone to make a fillet knife. Then head to Dahngrest and go to the Western Bar. Talk to the barkeeper to get a Kitchen Knife and head back to Capua Torim. Talk to the man one more time and you will unlock the recipe.
