Cooking delicious and visually appealing food is also a significant aspect of Genshin Impact. These dishes serve multiple purposes, such as restoring health, buffing stats, and reviving teammates. They can be found as scattered recipes throughout the map or obtained as quest rewards.

The food mechanics in Genshin Impact are straightforward. Acquire recipes through quests, exploration, and challenges. Locate a cooking station, which can be found throughout the map and in cities, and prepare the desired food. In general, higher star-rated foods offer greater benefits, although they require more complex recipes.

It's important to note that cooking quality matters. If you complete the cooking process while the timer is within the yellow box, you will create a perfect dish. Perfect dishes provide a higher bonus compared to normal dishes. Below are the best 5 star dishes Genshin Impact you can make.
