Starfield Recipe Guide: Crafting 'The Deep' for Vital In-Game Health Boost

Starfield offers multiple avenues for players to boost their in-game health, including the use of medicinal items. However, turning to homemade meals can be a wise choice, as some synthetic healing items may lead to addiction and adverse effects. This guide focuses on obtaining the recipe for "The Deep" food item in Starfield, a crucial addition to a player's culinary repertoire.

Discovering "The Deep" Recipe

Starfield presents players with various means of unlocking recipes, allowing them to expand their culinary skills. One approach involves enhancing their Gastronomy Skill and utilizing the Research Lab. Alternatively, players can engage with specific in-game characters to acquire unique recipes. Another method involves locating cooking magazines that offer permanent knowledge of new food item recipes.

To master the art of preparing "The Deep", players must first obtain the corresponding magazine. The recipe for "The Deep" can be found within the pages of "New Atlantian 01". This magazine is located in the Tau Gourmet: Common Quarters on Tau Ceti II, situated within the Tau Ceti system. Players can spot the magazine resting on a table near the Common Quarters computer, alongside some ammo boxes.

Visiting this planet is inevitable for players who choose to align with the Vanguard faction, as the first faction mission, "Grunt Work", mandates the exploration of a colony near the Tau Gourmet Production Center.

Crafting "The Deep"

Crafting "The Deep" food item in Starfield requires several ingredients, somewhat resembling Shepherd's Pie but substituting celery for onions. While the health benefits may not be as substantial, "The Deep" remains a valuable recipe in the game.

To prepare "The Deep", players should interact with a ship's Galley or any standard Cooking Station. In their inventory, players must ensure they possess the following ingredients:

1 Celery

1 Red meat

1 Carrot

1 Spice

1 Potato

Consuming "The Deep" dish replenishes 20 health points. Although this meal does not offer additional benefits, it can be sold for a significant sum of 1,055 credits.
