Monster Hunter Wilds: How To Cook Meals and Grill Meat

by

Preparing food and barbecuing meat plays a vital role in Monster Hunter Worlds, as players get ready for their hunts and face off against colossal monsters.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s essential to devote some time to learning meal preparation and grilling raw meat. Even if you don’t have a Felyne Chef, you shouldn’t skip one of the game’s core mechanics before and during hunts. Meals provide enhancements to HP, Stamina, and occasionally skills. Grilled meat can increase health and Stamina, as well as other benefits, during battles.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, where the Meowscular Chef may not be around, this guide will show you how to excel as a chef. It’s an essential skill for beginners to focus on in this game.

How To Cook Meals in Monster Hunter Wilds

As an ardent fan, I discovered that cooking in Monster Hunter Wilds is made accessible after I bestow honey upon the Provisions Shop nestled within our Base Camp, residing in the picturesque Windward Plains. In return, they grant me the Portable BBQ Grill. To prepare delectable meals, here’s what I do:

1. Gather necessary ingredients from defeated monsters or foraged materials.
2. Head back to the Base Camp and visit the Provisions Shop with my collected goods.
3. Exchange these items for Cooking Recipes, which detail the required ingredients and steps to cook specific dishes.
4. Use my Portable BBQ Grill to combine the necessary ingredients according to the recipe instructions.
5. Wait for the meal to cook, ensuring it’s well-done before devouring.
6. Enjoy the enhanced stats and abilities that my culinary creations provide during my hunting expeditions!

  • Either go into your tent in the region’s base camp and select the option of grilling a meal or select the Portable BBQ Grill in the wilds during any expedition.
  • You will have the option of choosing the Recommended Meal (with or without any Additional Ingredients), preparing a Custom Meal (where you choose the Ration, the Additional Ingredient, and the Finishing Touches), or selecting a Favorite Meal. To learn more about what is available and the stats provided, check Monster Hunter Wilds: All Cooking Ingredients and Their Effects.
  • Before you start cooking, you will be able to see the stat boosts involved with that meal. Once you are happy, you can start the process.
  • A short cutscene will take place where you will be able to see your character use the exact ingredients that you selected for your meal (which, in my opinion, adds immensely to the immersion). The Hunter will then proceed to eat it.
