In Valheim, players can make several types of food recipes for various purposes, such as refilling either health or stamina in the game.
Making really decent food items is also highly recommend as they will allow you to explore dangerous areas such as the swamp or plans and in general, survive tough fights.
But, before we start with the recipes, you are going to need to make sure you have a few things before you can make some of these recipes.
First, you need to have a cauldron as most of the best foods you can make will require a cauldron before they can be made. But to make a cauldron will require you to unlock the forge as a prerequisite to unlock the cauldron.
You can make a cauldron with 10 tin ingots and you can make a forge with four stones, four coal, 10 wood, and six copper - you will also need to have a workshop built nearby.
Once you have both crafting structures made, here are the best recipes you can make for both health and stamina in Valheim.
