Unlock Culinary Mastery: A Deep Dive into Genshin Impact’s Special Dishes
Do you know if your favorite Genshin character has a dish that reflects their personality? You’re in the right spot! We will explore special dishes here. These are not just ordinary Teyvat snacks. They are unique creations linked to specific characters. Think of it as their food soulmate.
Do All Genshin Characters Have a Special Dish? The Short Answer.
Not every character in Genshin Impact has a special dish. It’s like a club, and some are yet to be invited. For example, the Traveler, despite their adventures, lacks a personalized dish. Poor Aether or Lumine are overlooked. The Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun, also doesn’t cook. So, no “Lightning-Infused Dango” for us from Ei.

-
Albedo
Special Dish: Woodland Dream Base Dish: Sunshine Sprat If you want to taste Albedo’s culinary flair, cook Sunshine Sprat with him. You may create a Woodland Dream! It should be more palatable than chalk.
-
Ayaka
Special Dish: “Snow on the Hearth” Base Dish: Sakura Mochi For Kamisato elegance, make Sakura Mochi with Ayaka. You will create “Snow on the Hearth.” The dish is as refined as the Shirasagi Himegimi. Let’s hope it won’t melt too quickly!

-
Diona
Special Dish: Definitely Not Bar Food! Base Dish: Mondstadt Grilled Fish Diona’s masterpiece, “Definitely Not Bar Food”, is an ironic take on Mondstadt Grilled Fish. Cook with her to see how much she dislikes the association with bars. Spoiler: it’s still a bit fishy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Dishes
What About 5-Star Dishes? Are Special Dishes Considered 5-Star?
In Genshin Impact, dish rarity differs from character rarity. There aren’t strict “5-star dishes” like 5-star characters. However, special dishes are highly valuable due to unique effects and how you obtain them. They are top-tier in culinary prestige!
How Do You Actually Get These Special Dishes?
The secret ingredient is friendship! Just kidding, it’s specific characters. To get a special dish, cook the base dish using the specific character linked to that dish. Select the character from your party. If you’re lucky, create their special version instead of the regular one. It’s about that personal touch!
What Do Special Dishes Actually DO?
Special dishes have enhanced effects versus their base versions. They often provide better buffs, like increased attack, defense, healing, or stamina recovery. Think of them as the “crit” versions of food—more potent and desirable. Check the dish description for exact boosts. It’s the gourmet way to power your party!
Recipes for Base Dishes: Where to Find Them?
Acquiring recipes for base dishes is your first step to culinary mastery. Find recipes in various ways across Teyvat:
- Purchasing from NPCs: Many vendors in cities sell recipes. Keep an eye out for cooking shops and restaurants.
- Quest Rewards: Some quests, especially world quests and story quests, reward recipes as you progress.
- Exploration and Chests: Explore! Recipes can sometimes be in chests scattered around the world.
Once you have the recipe, learn it and gather ingredients to cook up a storm, and maybe snag some special dishes along the way!
