Cooking is a valuable mechanic that provides temporary stat boosts, HP/TP recovery, and status ailment cures after battles. Each character has different cooking proficiencies, and some recipes are better cooked by specific individuals. To cook, you need a recipe and the necessary ingredients. Recipes are found in treasure chests, bought from shops, or learned from NPCs. Ingredients are dropped by enemies or purchased. Experiment with different recipes and cooks to find the most effective combinations for your party. Cooking after every battle, especially with recipes that restore TP, can significantly reduce your reliance on expensive Gels and keep your party ready for the next encounter. Don't underestimate the power of a well-cooked meal!
