In Alter Age (a Ryuji Takumi produced game), there's a cooking mechanic with 10 ingredients, 25 recipes, and 120 possible permutations. For posterity sake, I'll detail it out so you don't have to.

6 of the ingredients can be bought at stores, 10 at a time and restocks after enough battles (by the time the rare equipment and Rarities Shop restock, which take 12 battles). The following recipes in bold with either [Y] (possible) or [BiS] (recommended) before the name can be made every restock.

Salty & Sweet Shroom (Restores an ally row's HP by 40%. Abnormalities and Status Downs are also cleared.) = Mushy Mushroom, Salt Herb, Honey Grass
[Y] Nut Burger Steak (Restores all allies' HP by 32%.) = Acorn Nut, Meat Beans, Salt Herb
Mushroom Pie (Restores 2 ally rows' HP & MP by 40%. (This item can be used only during battle.)) = Acorn Nut, Mushy Mushroom, Field Wheat
Nut Stir-Fry (Restores an ally column's HP & MP by 40%. In addition, grants Defense Up. (This item can be used only in battle.)) = Acorn Nut, Mushy Mushroom, Primeval Potato
Fried Mushroom (Restores all allies' MP by 32%.) = Mushy Mushroom, Salt Herb, Black Pepper
Berry Tart (Heals abnormalities of 2 ally rows. In addition, grants increased attack.) = Purple Berry, Field Wheat, Honey Grass
Gnocchi (Increases attack & defense of 2 ally rows.) = Meat Beans, Primeval Potato, Field Wheat
Potato Galette (Increases defense of 2 ally rows. Alter Cool Time -1.) = Primeval Potato, Salt Herb, Field Wheat
Spicy Burger Steak (Increases attack & action speed of an ally row. Increases Braver Heart by 1.) = Meat Beans, Salt Herb, Black Pepper
Potato Sautee (Increases attack & action speed of an ally column. Increases Braver Heart by 1.) = Primeval Potato, Salt Herb, Black Pepper
Mild Heat Sour Soup (Cancels 1 Status Up effect of an enemy row.) = Purple Berry, Honey Grass, Black Pepper
Wonder Fruit Jam (Grants Action Speed Down to all enemies. Has a 40% chance to grant random abnormalities.) = Meat Beans, Purple Berry, Egg Fruit
Glowing Indigo Broth (60% chance of dealing Sleep to an enemy column. If successfully dealt, it additionally lowers attack & defense.) = Mushy Mushrooms, Purple Berry, Egg Fruit
Warrior's Ration (HP+30 STR+3 VIT +3) = Acorn Nut, Honey Grass, Black Pepper
Sprint Fried Egg (HP+30 SPD+6) = Egg Fruit, Salt Herb, Black Pepper
16 Assault Pasta (HP+30 STR+3 INT+3) = Mushy Mushroom, Meat Beans, Field Wheat
Toughness Omelet (HP+30 VIT+3 MND+3) = Mushy Mushroom, Primeval Potato, Egg Fruit
Power Pie (HP+20-50 STR+2-6) = Acorn Nut, Meat Beans, Field Wheat
[BiS] Mentality Cake (MP+6 INT+3 MND+3) = Acorn Nut, Egg Fruit, Honey Grass
Intelligence Pie (MP+4-10 INT+2-6) = Acorn Nut, Primeval Potato, Field Wheat
Pasta of Protection (MP+6 VIT+3 MND+3) = Acorn Nut, Egg Fruit, Field Wheat
[BiS] Meatballs of Action (STR+3 SPD+6) = Meat Beans, Purple Berry, Salt Herb

[Y] Magic Cake (INT+4 MND+4) = Purple Berry, Egg Fruit, Honey Grass
Hard Potato (VIT+5-10) = Primeval Potato, Salt Herb, Honey Grass
Flash Cookie (SPD+5-10) = Egg Fruit, Field Wheat, Honey Grass

Alter Age doesn't drop a stat booster every 20 battles (unless that's a console perk for the other Exe-Create games I played, this is the first time I've bought a mobile version from them), even without the Secret Room's stat booster every 5 battles, so it helps to know your recipes if tackling Very Hard. The mission system is identical to Astarune Academy's, but very cheap with its IAP currency (which is presumably buffed in a future console port).

When you get to Saval Harbor, then you can make 10 Magic Cake for INT +40 MND +40. Buy Purple Berry & Egg Fruit at the Town of Ramel's eastern shop, then hit up the Honey Grass at Saval Harbor's eastern shop.
When you get to Metsu Harbor, then you can pivot to 10 Mentality Cake and 10 Meatballs of Action for MP +60 INT +30 MND +30 STR +30 SPD +60. I'd buy the Salt Herb at Seawind Harbor southeast from the entrance, then the Honey Grass at Saval Harbor, then the Acorn Nut & Meat Beans & Purple Berry & Egg Fruit at both Metsu Harbor shops.

As for who to use it on, I dumped them on the protagonist Arga.

He's a stronger physical damage dealer (Lillieka's moreso a hybrid thief de/buff supporter), a tank (one Preteen formation lets him aggro enemies more and reduce party damage taken), with the strongest AoE (All or Nothing), needs to be alive to use the Alter mechanic, has a higher damage ceiling due to his Brave Beat passive (+80% damage dealt if he has 1 Braver Heart), and can benefit off Elsie's Total Humidity (+100% critical damage dealt if the target enemy is Drenched, which is a +50% critical rate received status ailment).
He only has 2 weak magical skills (Elsie is your healer/mage, but not as lethal), but his Prickly (Poison) damage scales on INT; it unfortunately caps at 99,999 damage but heals back 30% damage dealt. If you use it weaken an enemy/boss down to 1 HP, then use the 30-hit damage item, you can double your EXP and gold gained for battles throughout the main story.
