There’s a lot to do in the world of Palia. In this cozy multiplayer game, you’ll be able to meet villagers, solve quests, and discover mysteries. With everything going on in the game, it can be easy to miss out on Cooking, which is one of the key skills in the game to get you ahead, especially in the early stages.
Learning and crafting cooking recipes can help replenish a steady stream of Focus, which, once full, will give you a boost to all XP gain whilst performing all other skill activities. Cooking in Palia is slightly more involved than the other skills. It requires several different stations for you to build at your place at home, gather the ingredients, as well as find the actual recipes to cook them.

In this Palia guide, we’ll go through everything you need to know about cooking, how and where to get recipes, how much focus they provide and even how much you can sell food for.
Note: This guide has been updated with new recipes from The Royal Highlands Expansion that came out on May 13th 2026.
How To Start Cooking

You’ll be able to start cooking straight away when you start Palia from the “Welcome to Palia” quest. Speak to Reth and ask him to teach you how to cook, and he’ll give you the recipe for your first cooking station – the Campfire.
Cooking in Palia isn’t too hard; you just need 3 things. The right station, ingredients and a recipe. Then you simply have to select the station and get cooking! Some recipes will require more than one station to complete cooking.
Cooking Stations

The Campfire is one of the more basic cooking stations you’ll get in the game, but you’ll be able to unlock more as you increase your skill level.
| Cooking Station | Materials |
| Campfire | x5 Sapwood, x16 Stone, x2 Flint, x10 Plant Fiber |
| Standard Stove | x12 Stone Brick, x5 Ceramic, x2 Copper Bar |
| Prep Station | x16 Sapwood Plank, x2 Copper Bar, x8 Ceramic |
| Mixing Station | x20 Sapwood Plank, x2 Copper Bar, x3 Fabric |
| Standard Oven | x15 Stone Brick, x20 Ceramic, x6 Copper Bar |
How To Get More Recipes

There are several ways to get recipes in Palia, with the easiest being to simply buy it. Buy recipes at Reth’s Cooking Guild Shop when your Cooking Skill reaches Lvl 2.
You’ll also be able to find them by exploring around Palia or receiving them as gifts from the other villagers. You can even fish some recipes up around the world.
