The best cooking food to restore hunger for newbies: meatballs.
One meat. Three fillers of any kind (can't be twigs). You'll be able to make meatballs that restore hunger up to 62.5.
Specifically, one compartment for meat, any meat will do, raw roasted sun dried doesn't matter. Monster Meat, Small Meat, Fish, Frog Legs, Chicken Legs, Large Meat (I personally don't recommend using large meat, it's a waste). The main point here is that you can use monster meat, fight spiders and other monster meat can be taken home to make meatballs. The other three grids can be a variety of vegetables and nuts, the more common are carrots, berries, roasted birch fruit (more recommended, cutting down the tree can get a lot, winter leaves fall off on the no), ice (recommended in winter, all over the place is ice).
The best cooking food for newbies to restore their life value: nut sacks.
It's fairly easy to get the ingredients and returns 30 quite a bit.
Specifically, a roasted birch nut, a berry (raw roasted can be), a berry (raw roasted can be), the last position can continue to put berries, can also put roasted birch nut, can also put twigs ice. Personally, I recommend putting twigs, save materials. Winter can also put ice.
