Genshin Impact
The cooking of Teyvat: dishes the heroes prepare at the campfire to restore health and collect as recipes across the open world.
Genshin Impact is a popular adventure game set in the world of Teyvat, inspired by a mix of cultures from East Asian to European. Cooking is a key gameplay mechanic: the traveler character gathers ingredients across the world and cooks them over a campfire, with each dish granting bonuses to health, attack, or defense. Dishes from the Mondstadt region, inspired by a European village, are simple and hearty, like hash browns, while other regions offer more exotic recipes like almond tofu. Here are recipes in the spirit of the game — varied and atmospheric, for fans of Teyvat.
Frequently asked questions
How does cooking work in Genshin Impact?
Players gather ingredients (vegetables, meat, spices) across the open world and cook them at a campfire or with a chef in town — the resulting dish restores health or grants temporary boosts to character stats.
Why is the food so different across the game's regions?
Each region of Teyvat is inspired by a real-world culture — Mondstadt resembles a European village, Liyue draws on China, Inazuma on Japan — so the local food reflects those respective culinary traditions.
What is almond tofu in the game?
It's a dessert from the Liyue region, inspired by the real Chinese dessert xingren doufu — a soft, jelly-like dish made from almond milk, often served with fruit.
