In this guide, we shall list all cooking recipes in Tales of the Shire, how to unlock them, flavor type, and more.

The Lord of the Rings saga threw us into a mystical world. This world was filled with elves, orcs, big-bearded wizards, and the stars – the Hobbits. The Hobbits are an integral part of the saga, and are now front and center in Tales of the Shire.
If you’ve ever wondered what the life of a hobbit was like, Tales of the Shire is here to answer. Spoilers – it involves a LOT of cooking. Cooking is one of the main elements of the gameplay loop in Tales of the Shire, and you’ll be doing a lot of it as you go about building relationships over food.
There are tons of dishes to cook in this game. All of them come with different flavors, requiring different ingredients and, of course, their own recipe. Unlocking the recipes can be a bit challenging as the game often doesn’t give you enough hints to work with, but that’s what we’re here for. In this guide, we shall go over all the cooking recipes in Tales of the Shire. We shall also discuss how to unlock them, their flavor type, the category they fall into, and more.
