'''Dishes''' are [[Cooking]]'s multi-ingredient recipes. A fish or a chicken goes on the fire alone and comes off as one heal; a dish takes two or three ingredients you already gather and comes off as food that '''heals ''and'' gives you a 10-minute buff'''. There are eight dishes, unlocking between Cooking 10 and Cooking 38.

== How to cook a dish ==
* Cook dishes at any [[Roast pit|Roast Pit]], the same as fish and chicken — pick the dish from the pit's recipe list.
* Every cook burns 1 [[Wood]] as fuel on top of the ingredients listed below.
* '''Dishes never burn.''' A dish spends several ingredients at once, so there's no burn roll to gamble them away.
* Dishes are not fish: cooking one does '''not''' count toward "cook fish" [[Daily Quests|daily quests]], the weekly quest, or your Fish Cooked total.
* Dishes are food, so they can be traded and listed on the [[Marketplace]].

Fish ingredients are the raw fish. Brute Horn Broth takes chicken that is already cooked, which is why it pays less Cooking XP — the chicken's own cook already paid out.

== Food buffs ==
Eating a dish heals you and starts its buff, shown as a chip on your HUD with the time left.

* '''10 minutes''' per buff.
* '''One food buff at a time.''' Eating any dish replaces whatever food buff was running. Eating the same dish again restarts its 10-minute clock — it does not add time or stack.
* '''Heals only what you're missing.''' A dish never heals past your maximum HP. You can still eat one at full health just for the buff.
* '''One dish heal every 31 seconds.''' Eat a second dish inside that window and you get its buff, but not its heal.
* '''Not in [[The Dunes]].''' Like all cooked food, dishes can't be eaten in the heat — only [[Cacti]] heals there.
* The buff keeps running if you change realm or reconnect.

=== What each buff does ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Buff
! Effect
! Dishes
|-
| Fishing speed
| Fish bite sooner — the wait for a bite is 15% shorter.
| Fisher's Chowder
|-
| Fishing XP
| +10% [[Fishing]] XP on every catch.
| Seared Tuna Steak
|-
| Woodcutting & Mining speed
| Your axe and pickaxe swing 10% faster.
| Coal-Smoked Bass
|-
| Woodcutting & Mining XP
| +10% [[Woodcutting]] and [[Mining]] XP.
| Cactus Salad
|-
| Sword damage vs monsters
| Flat extra damage on every sword hit against a monster or boss. It does nothing against players, and nothing for a bow.
| Hunter's Roast (+3), Ember-Seared Swordfish (+5)
|-
| Damage reduction vs monsters
| Takes a percentage off every hit a monster or boss lands on you. It does nothing against players.
| Brute Horn Broth (10%), Reef Feast (15%)
|}

Food buffs work alongside [[Relics|relic]] bonuses and potions rather than replacing them.

== Tips ==
* '''Fisher's Chowder''' is the first dish (Cooking 10) and only needs fish from [[The Pond]] and [[Whisperwood]] — eat one before a long fishing session.
* '''Coal-Smoked Bass''' and '''Cactus Salad''' pair well with gathering trips; combine with a higher-tier [[Axe]] or [[Pickaxe]].
* For boss fights and the [[Frostmere]] packs, '''Brute Horn Broth''' or '''Reef Feast''' soak up damage, and '''Hunter's Roast''' / '''Ember-Seared Swordfish''' kill faster.
* [[Cacti]] come from [[The Dunes]], and [[Brute Horn]] and [[Molten Rock]] from the [[Emberstone]] — free accounts can't reach either, but these ingredients can be bought on the [[Marketplace]].
