In any RPG being able to cook is a must. Together with other exploration activities, like fishing or foraging, cooking immerses you in the world of the game. Plus, it’s fun. That’s why today we’re going to talk about cooking in Genshin Impact.

Genshin offers us lots of dishes to try, all of them with different characteristics and recipes. In this guide, we’ll show you which are the best foods in the game, why, and how to get them.

15. Goulash
