All recipes in Valheim and where to cook them

Valheim: edible raw foods

Characters in Valheim don’t actually need to eat to survive (this is an afterlife, after all), but food can provide Health and Stamina buffs that can mean the difference between (un)life and (another) death when in combat. At its most basic level, you can forage foods from the game’s various biomes, or cultivate crops in your base. Some — though not all — of these raw ingredients can be eaten as you find them for a low-level buff.

Valheim: Cooking Station recipes

The Cooking Station allows you to process raw meats into something edible. With the Hearth & Home update, gone are the days of generic meat and its slightly unappetising implications. Now the game tracks which animal you harvested a piece of meat from and provides a unique food buff accordingly.

Valheim: Cauldron recipes

The Cauldron has seen the most significant changes in the Hearth & Home update. In addition to getting a heap of new recipes, the Cauldron now has several upgrade levels affecting what recipes you can cook. If you’re one of the many players wondering why you can’t cook sausages any more, it’s because you now need to upgrade your Cauldron to Level 2 (Spice Rack) and have butchered a specific animal (Boar) for its meat.

Valheim: Stone Oven recipes

The Stone Oven is a new cooking mechanic added in Valheim’s Hearth & Home update. Right now there are only two recipes that use the oven, but they do provide some of the highest food buffs in the game. You’re bound to want a drink to go with all this rich Viking food, so be sure to check out our guide to brewing mead in the Fermenter. And if you’d rather order in than cook tonight, learn how to summon pre-prepared dishes using console commands with our Valheim cheats guide. Finally, if you clicked on this guide by accident because you wanted the other type of seed that’s not for growing recipe ingredients, we’ve got you covered with our best Valheim seeds page.
