Every Recipe In Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook

As mentioned in our tip guide, recipes essentially dictate each and every characters stats in Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook. This makes finding, or figuring them all out extremely important, as so many of these have a substantial impact on progress. This is especially true for the Crafting series, as they reveal new methods to cook, which in turn makes certain options accessible. While you should collect them, and will need to if you want to platinum, this guide will help you get access to better combos, and prevent losing progress due to bad RNG.

Every Recipe In Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook

Basic Information

Things like effects and nutritional value will change based off the number of stars, so to keep things simple this information is not included. That being said, this guide will contain some additional details, such as which materials can be processed into other materials, along with some tips for a couple materials.

In addition to that, this guide goes off the in-game names, which are broken up into two types. Either a specific material is needed, or a general one. Any time a specific material is needed, such as Corpse Carp, it will be bold. Finally, each of these are separated based off the official in-game listing. Certain items might require fixing a specific tool before they become accessible.

Does This Unlock The Recipe?

Any recipe you complete on your own is permanently unlocked. However, you will not obtain all the variations unless you make each version, or obtain the recipe. This makes things like Parfait a nightmare, though other entries like Hamburger are pretty manageable.

Video Guide

If you want to see everything mentioned here it can be found in our video guide. We also included every prep version and what it does if you don’t want to chase after that trophy.

In addition to these main versions, one variation I want to note is Stewed Boiled Egg. This is obtained by boiling an egg, and then stewing the Boiled Egg. When eating this item you’ll give the designated character the trophy skill, which unlocks the trophy literally called Trophy.

All of the cooking tools can be completed before reaching floor 50 besides Eins Cooker. You need to enter the second dungeon to find Gold Ore and Tamahangane, but there is a trick to get it sooner. If you’re extremely lucky, gear that drops in the 40 range and higher has the potential to be disassembled into those two types of Ore. These generally have the material in their name, so if you get one you don’t want, they’re worth destroying to obtain the Ore to finish that recipe.

At the time of posting Bug Bread seems to be glitched. The only way to make either recipe is with an unprepared Rock Salt. This is, to my knowledge, the only recipe that doesn’t work with a prepared ingredient.
