Zelda Tears of the Kingdom offers you, like its predecessor, a large number of cookable recipes. A new feature is your own recipe log, which stores your successful cooking attempts and can then be viewed without any problem for recreating.
How do you cook in Tears of the Kingdom? To roast fruit or meat, simply hold the item in your hand and hold it over the fire for a short time. For proper dishes that heal you or provide benefits like stamina, you should go to one of the cooking pots located throughout Hyrule, take up to 5 ingredients in hand and cook them there.
Here you have a list of helpful recipes from Tears of the Kingdom.

The new building mechanics also invite experimentation. But instead of being creative, players are just building penises.
