Tales Of Vesperia Guide: How To Get All Recipes, Wonder Chef Locations

Are gel costs preventing you from buying other things like weapon and armor in Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition? Then why not make use of the cooking mechanic to keep your party’s wallets as full as their stomachs?

What Is Cooking?

Unlocked early on in Quoi Woods, cooking is exactly what it sounds like — you use ingredients that you find or buy in order to make food for your party to eat, recovering HP/TP or gaining stat buffs in the process.

From there, there are several things to take note of:

  • You can only cook once between battles, regardless of whether the attempt was successful.
  • Up to four different dishes can be selected as shortcuts, allowing you to cook immediately after a battle ends.
  • Any character (except for Repede) can make any dish they want, getting better every time they make it.
  • Each character has their own preferences (Raven doesn’t like desserts, for instance) which dictate whether they’ll get extra benefits from whatever they just ate or only a portion of them.
  • The effectiveness of any given recipe diminishes after repeated use, thus providing incentive to make use of multiple dishes. You know, maintaining a balanced diet and all that.

Beyond all that, the only thing you concern you’ll have is getting more recipes because the first one you get quickly loses effectiveness and provides no additional benefits.

How Do I Get New Recipes?

Tales-of-Vesperia-Recipe-List

You have two options if you want to obtain new recipes, either:

  • Cook a certain dish with a specific character until a new one is unlocked.
  • Find the Wonder Chef disguised as various objects throughout the game.

    • For the sake of simplicity, I’ll list the recipes that can be unlocked through these methods before listing all the recipes, ingredients and effects:
