The other two images are from Tales of Symphonia The Animation: Tethe'alla-hen (Anime), with the Top Right one being of Raine offering her cooking to a group of horrified party members. The Bottom Right image is of Raine and Presea cooking together in the kitchen.

Cooking, like most JRPGs, is a crucial aspect of Tales of Symphonia Remastered, allowing you to recover health, boost your Attack or Defense, and even cure Status Effects, making it essential to seek out Recipes and Ingredients to master every meal in the game to give you a huge helping hand in combat.

You can prepare Meals during the post-battle screen or via the “Cooking” option in the menus. Furthermore, every party member has different tastes and skills when it comes to Cooking, allowing them to add additional ingredients to a Recipe to give it an extra kick, making it better overall or, sometimes, much worse.

Cooking Overview

As covered above, Cooking is an essential part of Tales of Symphonia Remastered, with some members of your party being excellent chefs. In contrast, others need lots of work to make even the most basic Recipes taste good for the rest of your party. Before we get into the Recipes, let’s go over who the best and worst cooks are in the game!

Genis (Best)
Regal
Sheena
Kratos
Colette
Lloyd
Zelos
Presea
Raine (Worst)

Despite the story pushing Regal as being the group’s best chef, Genis is actually the best overall and by a considerable margin. Additionally, your party members are also a bit picky regarding what they want and don’t want in their food, slightly impacting their Affection toward Lloyd. We covered all this and more in our Affection Guide, which you can find here, but the table below will give you a brief rundown of what everyone prefers in their dishes!

Food Likes And Dislikes

Character	Likes +1	Dislikes -1
Colette	Fruit (All)	Bell Peppers
Genis	Milk	Carrots
Raine	Lemon	Mushrooms
Sheena	Rice	Not picky (never loses Affection)
Zelos	Melon, Snapper, and Tuna	Octopus
Presea	Indiferent (never gains or loses Affection)
Regal	Tofu	Cucumber and Melon
Kratos	Tuna	Tomato

They will either lose or gain one Affection Point per meal. This means that if Regal were to eat something with Cucumber and Melon in it, he would only lose one point rather than two. Additionally, if he were to consume something with Tofu and Cucumber, they would cancel each other out, having no points gained or lost.

Lastly, you can earn Titles for every party member via Cooking in Tales of Symphonia Remastered. To do this, you must Master every Recipe in the game, which simply means preparing each Recipe several times until the game notifies you that that character has Mastered it. Every character will be different in terms of how many stars they can earn per dish, but it will take a significant amount of time to Master every Recipe with every character.

Nonetheless, the table below will provide all the information necessary for every Cooking-based Title in the game. One last thing of note is that Regal has an additional Cooking Title, which requires him to defeat the Dark Chef in a Beef Stew Cookoff, the finale of the Wonder Chef questline. You can learn more about that here!
