Pumpkin pie

While most of the meals you can cook in Aloft will give you health buffs, many of them won't give you the significant HP boost that Pumpkin Pie can give you. With increased stats lasting 14 minutes, Pumpkin Pie not only increases your health, but also gives you a buff to attack damage, making it a dish to consider.

Naturally, you need a pumpkin in your inventory to be the main star of the dish, along with eggs and some sugar for flavoring.

Since eggs can be a bit difficult to come across in Aloft, and given how many recipes are included, make sure you use them on the most useful dishes.

Berry Loaf

Since the buffs you get from eating any meal at Aloft only last for a limited time, it would make sense for you to make sure you get the most out of it. This is why berry loaf is an excellent dish to cook; along with a massive health boost, it also brings other major buffs to the table.

All you need are blueberries, eggs, and some flour, and you can increase both attack damage and speed, which can help you in any encounter.

Stew

While Stew may not have many other benefits, the boost it provides to your HP is hard to match with most of the other cooked meals at Aloft.

Even the health duration provided by Stew is one of the longest available in the game, resulting in a meal that can keep you going for quite some time during any combat encounter. Since this is mainly a vegetarian stew, you will need carrots and potatoes to cook it along with some water to give it a runny texture.

Carrot loaf

Loaves are one of Aloft's most effective cooked meals, and their Carrot option is no different. Since it contains some of the highest HP boosts you can get from consuming the dish, his carrot loaf buff may not last too long, but its other benefits make it more than worth it.

Carrot Loaf should be considered if you have carrots, eggs, and flour in your inventory, whether it's increasing your attack damage or significantly increasing your attack speed on your enemies.

Flour is used for each individual variant of the Loaf, so it is important to have a sufficient amount in stock. You can turn the easily obtainable Wheat in the millstone into flour.

3

Corn Loaf
