Don’t Starve by Klei Entertainment is a unique open world sandbox survival game with horror elements. Right from the get go, the title tells you your objective, to not starve. That can be easier said than done in this charming little game. Not only must you forage for food while building up a base, you also need to be wary of various enemies and weather conditions as well as your own sanity.

This is all portrayed in a somewhat Tim Burton-esque art style which really does add to the games charm. But even considering all the dangers you face in this game, hunger is the most persistent threat of death. To help you overcome this danger, here’s Don’t Starve: The Most Nutritious Recipes, to help you know just what you should cook in your crock pot.

10 Dragon Pie

Depending on what version of the game you’re playing, this fruit pie may just save you. In Don’t Starve there are three primary stats you need to worry about: health, hunger and sanity. The Dragon Pie, made from dragon fruit and not the fantastical beast, restores 40 health, 75 hunger and 5 sanity points.

The recipe to create this item is simple: you need a dragon fruit and anything else except meat. The simplest and most efficient thing to do is to gather some twigs and fill the rest of the crock pot with them. Getting the dragon fruit can be a little trickier because they’re not all that easy to find. Once you do find one, though, you can feed it to a capture bird to get seeds and plant them.

9 Bacon And Eggs

A great way to start your day, both in Don’t Starve and in the reality. The Bacon and Eggs recipe from don’t starve restores 20 health, 75 hunger and 5 sanity points. Not quite as good as the Dragon Pie but still a very respectable recipe. Eggs, depending on the the world you landed in and what biomes are nearby, can be relatively easy to find.

To acquire eggs in Don’t Starve, either capture a bird and feed it meat or steal some from the Pengull creature. You can also use a stolen tallbird egg but that is much more dangerous. The recipe requires you to put in an egg value of 2, which means either two regular eggs or 1 tallbird egg and a meat value of 1.5. If you use the tallbird egg then just use a twig as a filler for the last spot.

8 Waffles

You don’t need to be a donkey to enjoy some waffles. In Don’t Starve, you just need to gather the right kind of ingredients and throw it all in the crock pot. The ingredients are: a stick of butter, an egg and some berries. There are a few other variations on this recipe but they often require more valuable ingredients.

When you do make this delectable treat you’ll be restored 60 points of health, 37.5 hunger and 5 sanity. This differentiates this treat from many other food items because of how good it is at restoring your health. The main downside to this recipe is that the drop rate for butter is a pathetic 2% per butterfly.

7 Honey Ham

Funnily enough, Don’t Starve’s Honey Ham doesn’t require ham. The recipe calls for a total meat value of 2 and at least 1 honey item. There are a few ingredients you cannot use as well: Moleworm, Mandrake, Tallbird Egg and, most importantly, Twigs. This does make the recipe a little less flexible but not to a terrible degree. If you have another spot to fill after putting in enough meat and the honey, just throw in some berries.

Honey Ham restores 30 health, 75 hunger and 5 sanity points. Honey Ham also raises your characters perceived temperature by 40 for 10 seconds. This puts it right in-between the Dragon Pie and Bacon and Eggs. One more thing to note, you do need to be especially careful with your ingredients if you have the Shipwrecked DLC. If you put in too much fish you’ll make seafood gumbo instead.

6 Feijoada

This dish won’t be familiar for those who haven’t played Don’t Starve in some time. Feijoada was introduced with the Hamlet DLC and its name comes from Portugal. It’s a dish of beans and beef and pork. In Don’t Starve, the recipe calls for 3 bean bugs and 1 meat ingredient. This does mean the recipe is very inflexible but it also means that if you have a lot of bean bugs, it’s simple to make.

Feijoada restores 20 health, 75 hunger and 15 sanity points. Thankfully bean bugs are easy to find, simply look for any stone slabs around the area and voila, bean bugs. Of course you do need the Hamlet DLC to find them but hey, anything to keep you from starving for one more day.

5 Surf ‘n’ Turf

This useful recipe came along on the same wave as the Shipwrecked DLC. Surf ‘n’ Turf is, quite simply, a meat and fish dish. This means that it requires a meat value of 2.5 and a fish value of 1.5 to be in the crock pot. That might seem to be a tall order at first but many of the fish ingredients in Shipwrecked can count as both a fish and a meat.

Surf ‘n’ Turf restores 60 health, 37.5 hunger and 33 points of sanity. This makes the dish better than waffles and especially useful around certain biomes. A further advantage of this dish is that you can pretty safely use up any and all monster meat you have laying around.

4 Meaty Stew

The absolute best way to restore an empty stomach in Don’t Starve lies with this dish, the Meaty Stew. As you can probably guess by the name, this dish simply requires you to have a lot of meat, a value of 3 in fact. If you have space left in the crock pot after achieving the meat value of 3, you can put in a carrot or mushroom to complete it.

Meaty Stew restores 12 health, a whopping 150 hunger and 5 sanity points. This does make it a bit tricky to get the most use out of it as many characters don’t have large stomachs. It also decays quite fast and requires you to avoid putting certain ingredients in the crock pot or risk making a much less efficient recipe. But if you’re starving then this recipe can’t be beat.

3 Lobster Dinner

This delectable meal will not disappoint and may just save your run of Don’t starve. Lobster Dinner requires two main ingredients: a wobster and some butter. After you have those two ingredients you must use some filler for the remaining two slots but be wary of what you use. You cannot use meat nor ice in this recipe and you need to be wary of using more than one twig.

Lobster Dinner restores 60 health, 37.5 hunger and an amazing 50 sanity points. So while this dish won’t satisfy your hunger super well, it will restore the other two vital gauges and save you from a death other than that of starvation. One more note, while you cannot use monster meat in this recipe, you can use more than 1 durian and/or jellyfish in it because the recipe has priority over monster lasagna.

2 Fresh Fruit Crepes

It would be a travesty to not include a recipe from the games only playable chef, Warly. Fresh Fruit Crepes can only be crafted with Warly’s Portable Crock Pot, which is exclusive to him. It requires a fruit value of 1.5, butter and honey. This can make it a tricky recipe to make but it is definitely worth it.

Fresh Fruit Crepes restore 60 health, 150 hunger and 15 sanity points. This means it absolutely blows most other recipes right out of the water. Even the amazing meaty stew only shares the hunger restoration. You can also freely use durian to reach the desired fruit value. The main disadvantage, of course, is that you must play as Warly.

1 Mandrake Soup

The ultimate dish in Don’t Starve is this most fantastical of dishes, Mandrake Soup. Mandrake soup is a very simple recipe that is nonetheless very rarely seen. It requires a mandrake and, well, that’s it. All that needs to be done to finish the recipe is to fill it with filler, just be careful about some ingredients. The simplest way to make this is to simply put in three twigs.

Mandrake Soup restores 100 health, 150 hunger and 5 sanity points. This actually puts it above the Fresh Fruit Crepes in keeping your character alive. There is no disadvantage to eating this recipe except that you’re using up a mandrake. Mandrakes are limited, about 2-5 per world. They’re often better used for crafting a pan flute or by keeping them in your inventory. The reason for this is twofold: mandrakes don’t spoil but the soup does and they can put other enemies to sleep when you eat them.
