What you really want to keep an eye on is the adjective preceding an ingredient's name, as it will give you insight as to what the ingredient will add to a completed dish.

Most ingredients are neutral, meaning they offer no effects beyond restoring a heart or two when raw or more when cooked. Those variations, however, are the most critical component of making of a successful dish, as they alter greatly the effect that meal has on our Hylian hero. There are quite a few dishes you can make in Breath of the Wild - well over 100, not counting variations on the same dish. Just drop the ingredient on the floor and it will cook. If you're just looking to cook individual ingredients to unlock their potential, you can use a normal campfire or alternatively any location in the game where the temperature is especially high - Death Mountain and Gerudo Desert being two examples. To cook dishes which involve more than on ingredient, you'll need to find a cooking pot with a fire underneath it - these are often located at the many stables dotted around Hyrule. We here at Nintendo Life have taken a crash course in the culinary arts and are going to share what we have learned about Hylian cuisine with you, dear reader. Like real cooking, ingredients are key and one wrong thing can totally change the impact of a dish.
