When to use it
The dish you will cook most in the first few hours, because rice is the crop IGN names as one of the two best early bets in the grow chamber and Brown Rice is the recipe that needs nothing else. HP and Defense is also the least glamorous pairing in the set and the one that matters most while you are still learning to parry.
Where it sits in the cook book
- It is cook book #1 of the 25 this site has records for. Cooking buffs in this game are permanent, which is what makes the book order worth tracking rather than the dish — why a meal you ate in Chapter 2 is still helping in Chapter 9.
- It is made from Rice. Across the 25 catalogued books, Rice appears in ten.
- It arrives by "Known from the start", the third-largest of the four routes the 25 books come by — Found in the world 13, Bought 6, Known from the start 4, Kagura Rapport 2.
