Fire Emblem Engage cooking guide: The best recipes for every unit, food effects, and more

Cooking is an integral part of Fire Emblem Engage. Taking the time to have meals with 2 of your characters brings temporary stat boosts and increases your bond with them. However, picking the proper meals and having the ingredients are essential. It would help if you got into this habit as soon as you can access Cafe Terrace.

This will occur early in Fire Emblem Engage, and before you head out to the next battle, whether it's a skirmish or a Paralogue, get into the habit of taking a few friends out to eat at the local cafe. It's useful for several reasons, but what are the best meals? Not every character loves every food, so here is some advice so that you can make the best out of it.

Fire Emblem Engage cooking guide - What you need to know about meals and more

In Fire Emblem Engage, some characters like certain meals more than others. Some characters are indifferent to one, while they adore another. You also want to have the right chef for each dish as well. Your other party members have specialties in the kitchen, and it appears random who shows up to cook.

With that in mind, here is every one of the best meals, which party members they correspond to, and what stat bonuses they confer onto the party members when consumed. You can tell which chef excels at a meal because it will have sparkly stars next to it on the list.

Meals grant you quick stats for the next battle and build relationship points with the characters you go to have a meal with. But the scenario is not as simple as just ordering a meal, and that's that; you need the proper ingredients to cook the meal.

You can gather these in a wide variety of ways. Your donations to other kingdoms grant rewards at specific milestones and usually feature several meal ingredients. You can also jump into battle in Fire Emblem Engage. The post-battle areas occasionally have beneficial rewards but also feature animals you can adopt.

Several animals in Fire Emblem Engage grant you meal prep items if you have them out grazing in the Somniel. For example, Aura Eagles can give beef, pork, chicken, and mutton. Eloysian Seagulls bring nuts; Eastern Freecats give Salmon, and more. Here is a list of all animal rewards.

This isn't the entire list of meals for Fire Emblem Engage, either. As of this time, it is the list of the best meals for your party. As we discover more meals that your party members prefer, we will return to this and update it accordingly.
