Cooking recipes

This guide covers all the items players may cook in Red Dead Redemption 2. All cooking recipes require a campfire, but all are also available from the beginning and have no unlock requirements. Note however that before completing Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego early on in Chapter 2 the only available grill is at the scout campsite at Horseshoe Overlook, the player is unable to season food at other sites. Nearly all require meat as an ingredient.

Most meat dishes can be seasoned with a single herb, the choice of which determines what core attribute will be affected:

• Oregano: Stamina
• Thyme: Dead Eye
• Wild mint: Health
