The Trails series has always had a charming obsession with food, andThe Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak 2is no exception. The sweets king Van Arkride and his gang can all hit the kitchen and make their own signature dishes, which are actually some of the more potent healing items in the entire game. You just need to find their recipes first.
Fear not though, as we’re here with this guide to ensure that you get to make every sweet treat and tasty morsel on offer.There are 21 recipes in total for you to find, with some you have to go out of your way to obtain, so here’s when and where you can grab them.

Where To Find Every Recipe In Trails Through Daybreak 2
Every recipe in the gamecan be found in a store of some kind, sometimes in ones that you wouldn’t naturally associate with food. To make your life easier, you shouldcheck out any store you see that is symbolized by a red marker on your minimap, as that means they have new stock. Not every recipe is available immediately, so it’s worth checking in at every shop a few times.
Without further ado, here’s every recipe in the game, which store you may buy them from, and when they become accessible in the story:

If you want to maximize Van’s Gourmet Rank (which you should as it gives you tonnes of stat boosts), then grabbing these recipes is a must. Food that you make with your party isworth a lot more Gourmet Points than food you buy from stores, and is pretty much necessary if you want to max it out.
A lot of these recipes also require rare ingredients, such asPrime Beast Essence. Your best place to get stuff like this is bytrading for it with one of the many merchants out there that accept trade. The rest of the ingredients you should acquire naturally while playing, though you can always equip quartz - such as Serendipity - that make monster drop rates higher if you need the ingredients urgently and can’t buy them.
