Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

Mechanics[edit]
Cuisine is based on consuming five types of dishes, categorized in Starter (オードブル Ōdoburu, lit. "Hors d'oeuvre"), Soup (スープ Sūpu), Fish (魚料理 Gyo Ryōri, lit. "Fish Dish"), Meat (肉料理 Niku Ryōri, lit. "Meat Dish") and Dessert (デザート Dezāto). Each dish is has its own set of stat increases, including Strength, Magic, Defense, max HP and max MP.
In the "Cuisine" section of the menu, the player can create a meal by selecting up to five dishes to consume at once (one per category) to boost the entire party's stats for a limited time. The player can also use the "Chef's Choice" option to automatically create a meal with up to five dishes; these will be randomly selected from the player's inventory. Additionally, after creating and consuming a meal, the player can save it a list of favorites to recreate it later.
Consuming a meal grants stat boosts to the entire party, equal to the sum of individual boosts from all selected dishes. A meal consisting of a dish from every category also grants a Full Course Bonus. The meal's stats are further increased if it has the Hearty Meal Full Course Bonus attached. Stats boosts and Full Course Bonuses will last for a set duration, which is extended by 50% if the Full Course Bonus Cuisine Extender is generated by the meal. If a meal's bonuses are active when the party changes to a different playable character, such as Riku or Aqua, the meal's bonuses will continue to apply for that party.
Cooking the meals is unlocked after completing Twilight Town, and requires ingredients in addition to completing a mini-game with at least a "Good" rating. Ending the Mini-game with an "Excellent" rating creates a "plus" version of a dish that gives greater stat bonuses and can be sold for a higher price.
Full Course Bonus[edit]
Full Course Bonus (フルコース Furu Kōsu, lit. "Full-course Dinner") is an extra, temporary ability granted by consuming a full meal in the Cuisine menu (starter, soup, fish dish, meat dish, and dessert), on top of stat bonuses awarded from the food itself. They are randomly generated from a set, depending on the number of "plus" dishes in the meal. Each additional "plus" dish adds more abilities to the options, and increases the duration of the ability awarded.
When constructing a meal, the Full Course Bonus will not be displayed until the meal is consumed. However, choosing "Chef's Choice" allows Little Chef to construct the meal, revealing the Full Course Bonus beforehand. Specific meals and their Full Course Bonus can be saved to a list of favorites. Choosing a meal from the favorites menu will grant the same Bonus every time.
