The food your character eats in Enshrouded can improve their build by selecting the right recipes and meals with the right stat based on your gameplay style. For that, you must know what recipes offer what buff, and what you need to make them.
A great part of the survival genre is keeping your character from starving and for that, you’ll need to learn how to cook. In Enshrouded, you don’t have to worry about hunger, but eating food can restore Constitution and give temporary buffs and you’ll unlock recipes as you discover ingredients. In the early game, you’ll first have access to the campfire or the fireplace and a selection of recipes you can cook in them. As you progress through the game, you’ll need to have the Farmer NPC unlocked to cook some recipes. The ones marked with an asterisk in our lists below require the Farmer.
The best foods for your character will depend on your build, but some will help you regardless of your build because of the Health and Stamina regeneration buffs, especially in the early phase of the game. You can discover what foods work best for you by experimenting with different recipes.
