Genshin Impact: Cooking - how to make buff food

As a true role-playing game, Genshin Impact also thinks about crafting activities like cooking. Our guide explains why it's advisable to start early and what it can do for you.

Stronger always works: you can cook buff food for a variety of purposes.

Cooking needs to be learned, but in Genshin Impact progress is clearly defined.

Genshin Impact: How to cook properly

To cook you need ingredients. You can find these in the wilderness, for example: fruits and vegetables such as apples and mushrooms can be collected in the game world.

• You can then cook certain dishes at cooking stations.
• Each dish offers a bonus effect when consumed, such as a temporary increase in attack power or a restoration of health points.
• When preparing the dish, it depends on the right timing: Press the "Stop" button when the cooking bar is at the yellow spot. Ideally, your dish will be awarded "perfect".
• Each time you cook a dish, your skill increases specifically for that dish. After a few successful runs, you then get the option to automatically cook the dish in any quantities.

Cooking is thus more than a nice sideline, as you always have a pick-me-up on hand with the dishes in your inventory.
