You can prepare Meals during the post-battle screen or via the “Cooking” option in the menus. Furthermore, every party member has different tastes and skills when it comes to Cooking, allowing them to add additional ingredients to a Recipe to give it an extra kick, making it better overall or, sometimes, much worse.

Cooking Overview

In contrast, others need lots of work to make even the most basic Recipes taste good for the rest of your party.

They will either lose or gain one Affection Point per meal. This means that if Regal were to eat something with Cucumber and Melon in it, he would only lose one point rather than two. Additionally, if he were to consume something with Tofu and Cucumber, they would cancel each other out, having no points gained or lost.
