All Chef Recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest

If you want to support your team by providing buffs and food, our list of all Chef Recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest should come in handy.

All Chef Recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest

In 99 Nights in the Forest, everyone has a role. You have to save the children and try to survive, after all, so that means someone who provides buffs/food as well as the Chef does, is going to be a key part of the team. 

If you're into playing a Support, then you probably went for the Chef role - and you're going to need all Chef Recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest to help your team survive. It's a nicely balanced class, but one that doesn't really do much on its own - rather, it's a team player.

How to unlock the Chef class in 99 Nights in the Forest?

The Chef comes with its own Chef's Station Blueprint, which is a big cooking pot where the Chef can prepare his recipes. He also comes with a Recipe Book, which upgrades along with the Chef's level. 

To unlock him, you'll have to spend 150 Diamonds.

You can cook a few different recipes, each one granting yourself or your teammates benefits (not only reducing hunger). It's similar to how the Firepit/Crockpot works in Don't Starve (if you've ever played it). 

We also have a list of 99 Nights in the Forest codes for more freebies!

The best recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest

The top ones you can make as the Chef are:

  • Steak Dinner - if you're at level 1 Chef and need to feed your teammates.
  • Carrot Cake - great for night vision; give it to teammates who usually go out at night
  • Jar o' Jelly - make sure everyone on your team has at least one of these in case of emergency. Perhaps the players who go hunting should have more.

How to get ingredients?

I suggest you store every ingredient needed. You want to have a Hunter/Fisherman/Farmer on your team, so you can actually farm those ingredients non-stop. 

Extra tips: 

  • Ideally, have one Farmer class on the team - they can have Farm Plots, which is where you'll harvest Carrots from. 
  • Once you have Farm Plots, Carrots can be that filler ingredient, since they grow fast.
