Eating cooked food is essential when it comes to survival in Windrose. You will periodically find yourself consuming food to increase your HP pool. Knowing what food to make can be confusing, so here is a HP and Stamina management guide with the best food items in Windrose.
How Food Works in Windrose
In Windrose, consumables or food items lift the ceiling of your maximum health. You have two 'food' slots that you can see in the bottom left of the image below. When these are both empty you are in the 'Hungry' state which is basically a reminder to eat. When you eat, your maximum health increases significantly, in addition to any other buffs the food provides.
Basically, you always want to have both food slots filled. Even if you are just running around farming or mining, eating 2x +5 Endurance food will have a nice Stamina boost.
How To Cook Food in Windrose
To cook food, you need to craft a Cooking Fire. It can be upgraded to Level 2 by crafting the Cutting Table. Here are the recipes for crafting both of the stations:
- Cooking Fire: 3 Stone + 3 Wood
- Cutting Table: 2 Copper Ingot + 10 Wood
Best Food Items in Windrose
The best food items you can craft in Windrose currently are Epic and all require access to the Cursed Swamps (third zone).
| Item | Effect | Recipe |
| Coffee | +20 Endurance for 30 Minutes | 4x Cane Sugar, 4x Coffee Beans |
| Gazpacho | +20 Agility for 30 Minutes | 5x Tomato, 5x Leek, 4x Salt, 1x Mysterious Spice |
| Meaty Croc Kebab | +20 Strength for 30 Minutes | 4x Crocodile Tail, 5x Meat, 5x Leek, 2x Mysterious Spice |
| Seafood Platter | +20 Vitality for 30 Minutes | 4x Lime, 7x Fish Fillet, 3x Crab Meat, 4x Salt |
| Swamp Pie | +20 Precision for 30 Minutes | 5x Cocoplum, 3x Cane Sugar, 4x Cornmeal, 2x Mysterious Spice |
| Taco | +20 Mastery for 30 Minutes | 5x Tomato, 5x Beans, 6x Cornmeal, 2x Mysterious Spice |
Rare food is pretty much the same but is easier to craft and only provides +10 stat for 30 minutes. Uncommon food provides +5 stat for 15 minutes.
The best food items for you will of course be dependent on your build. If you're running a Rapier + Pistol build then you'll want the Swamp Pie for precision. However, the Seafood Platter is always going to be a solid choice because that's an additional 260 health which is huge.
