Fire-Kissed Garlic is prepared exclusively at the Oven cooking station. The Oven is unlocked by purchasing its blueprint from the Aureleaf Kitchen and then crafting it at your Worktable. Unlike the Gas Stove or Campfire, the Oven specializes in baked and roasted recipes. Once you have an Oven set up, select Fire-Kissed Garlic from the recipe list and the dish will be ready in 1 minute and 35 seconds. Each cook awards 20 Cooking EXP.
Where to Get the Recipe
The Fire-Kissed Garlic recipe scroll is purchased from the Aureleaf Kitchen in town for 370 Coins. The Aureleaf Kitchen is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM. Walk up to the cash register inside the restaurant to browse the available recipe scrolls.
At 370 Coins, Fire-Kissed Garlic sits in the mid-range of Aureleaf Kitchen recipe prices. For comparison, simpler recipes like Golden Garlic Crisps cost only 160 Coins, while premium recipes like Lemonade cost 1,470 Coins and Yangzhou Fried Rice costs 1,110 Coins. You should be able to afford this recipe within the first few in-game days without straining your budget.
Once you buy and open the recipe scroll from your inventory, the recipe is permanently learned and will appear in your Oven's cooking menu whenever you interact with the station.
Ingredient Sourcing
Fire-Kissed Garlic requires two ingredients, both of which can be produced on your farm or homestead. Here is how to obtain each one.
Garlic (X2)
Garlic is an all-season crop that grows in Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Garlic seeds cost 60 Coins from the Happiness Seed Shop and require Apprentice Farmer rank to purchase. The crop takes 1 day and 12 hours to mature and yields 4 Garlic per harvest. Garlic must be planted in a Planting Box rather than open farmland.
Since each batch of Fire-Kissed Garlic uses 2 Garlic and each harvest produces 4, a single Garlic plant provides enough for two servings of this recipe. Garlic grows year-round, so supply is never a seasonal concern. Keep a few Planting Boxes dedicated to Garlic near your cooking area for convenient access.
Cooking Oil (X4)
Cooking Oil is a condiment produced at the Brewing Barrel by processing 1x Peanut into 1x Cooking Oil. Peanut is an all-season crop that costs 80 Coins per seed from the Happiness Seed Shop, takes 1 day and 8 hours to mature, and yields 4 Peanuts per harvest. Since Fire-Kissed Garlic requires 4 Cooking Oil per batch, you need 4 Peanuts to produce enough oil for one serving.
Cooking Oil can also be purchased directly from the Aureleaf Kitchen. If you do not want to grow Peanuts or operate a Brewing Barrel, buying oil is a convenient alternative. However, producing your own Cooking Oil from Peanuts is more cost-effective in the long run, especially if you cook Fire-Kissed Garlic frequently.
The Brewing Barrel is a processing station unlocked as part of the Crafter profession. It ferments raw ingredients into condiments including Cooking Oil, Soy Sauce, Vinegar, and Sugar. Processing takes time, so queue up a batch of Peanuts the night before if you plan to cook Fire-Kissed Garlic the following day.
Profitability
Fire-Kissed Garlic sells for 262 Coins per serving. To evaluate its profitability, consider the raw value of the ingredients you are converting into the dish.
Component | Raw Sell Value | Quantity Used | Total Value Consumed |
|---|---|---|---|
27 Coins each | 2 | 54 Coins | |
60 Coins each | 4 | 240 Coins |
The combined raw sell value of the ingredients is 294 Coins (54 from Garlic + 240 from Cooking Oil). Since Fire-Kissed Garlic sells for 262 Coins, cooking this recipe and selling it at the standard vendor price results in a net loss of about 32 Coins compared to selling the ingredients separately. This means Fire-Kissed Garlic is not a profitable recipe when measured purely by sell price versus raw ingredient value.
However, there are two important factors that change this calculation. First, Fire-Kissed Garlic restores 108 stamina, making it a strong stamina food for adventuring. Eating it instead of selling saves you from buying other food, so the real value is in the stamina recovery rather than raw profit. Second, selling to the Merchant Ship roughly doubles the price to around 524 Coins, which flips the equation to a profit of approximately 230 Coins per serving.
If you grow both Garlic and Peanuts yourself (eliminating the purchase cost of Cooking Oil), the effective cost drops to just the seed prices: 60 Coins for Garlic seeds (producing 4 Garlic, enough for 2 servings) and 80 Coins for Peanut seeds (producing 4 Peanuts, enough for 4 Cooking Oil, which is exactly 1 serving). That puts the seed cost at roughly 110 Coins per serving, making the 262 Coin sell price a 152 Coin profit.
Gifting
According to the Fire-Kissed Garlic item page on the community wiki, no NPCs have documented positive or negative reactions to this dish. However, Ginger's character page lists Fire-Kissed Garlic among her liked gifts. This may reflect a recent update or a wiki discrepancy. If you want to test gifting, Ginger is the most likely candidate to appreciate it.
Because gifting reactions are limited, Fire-Kissed Garlic is best used as a personal stamina food rather than a friendship-building gift. For garlic-based gifts with stronger NPC reactions, raw Garlic is loved by several characters including Graminova, Marston, Matilda, Parrot, and Sagewood.
Related Recipes
Fire-Kissed Garlic is one of four cooking recipes that use Garlic as an ingredient. The table below compares all Garlic-based recipes by sell price, stamina recovery, and cooking station.
Recipe | Ingredients | Station | Time | Sell Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Clam x1, Winter Melon x2, Fine Salt x1, Garlic x2 | 99s | +146 | 451 Coins | ||
Fire-Kissed Garlic | Garlic x2, Cooking Oil x4 | 95s | +108 | 262 Coins | |
57s | +80 | 146 Coins | |||
32s | +52 | 68 Coins |
Fire-Kissed Garlic occupies the second tier among Garlic recipes. Fortune Clam Broth earns significantly more per dish but requires a Clam and Winter Melon on top of the Garlic. Golden Garlic Crisps is faster and cheaper to produce but sells for nearly half the price. Laba Garlic is the simplest and cheapest option, using just 1 Garlic and 1 Vinegar.
Among Oven recipes specifically, Fire-Kissed Garlic ranks in the upper range for both sell price and stamina recovery. It outperforms Golden Garlic Crisps (146 Coins, +80 stamina), Cloud-Soft Toast (231 Coins, +102 stamina), and Butter Crunch Cookie (205 Coins, +97 stamina) in raw sell value. The main drawback is the high Cooking Oil cost, which limits its profitability unless you grow your own Peanuts.
Tips
Fire-Kissed Garlic is better used as a stamina food than a money-maker. At +108 stamina, it restores more energy than most mid-tier foods and can keep you going through long mining or combat sessions.
If you want to sell Fire-Kissed Garlic for profit, wait for the Merchant Ship. The doubled sell price of around 524 Coins per serving turns a marginal recipe into a strong earner. Stockpile servings throughout the week and sell in bulk when the ship docks.
Grow Peanuts alongside your Garlic to produce Cooking Oil at the Brewing Barrel. Both crops grow in all four seasons, so you can maintain a steady pipeline of ingredients year-round.
One Garlic harvest (4 Garlic) provides enough for two batches of Fire-Kissed Garlic, but you need 8 Cooking Oil for those two batches. Plan your Peanut farming accordingly: two Peanut harvests (8 Peanuts total) will produce exactly 8 Cooking Oil.
Consider buying the Fire-Kissed Garlic recipe early from the Aureleaf Kitchen (370 Coins). Even if you do not cook it immediately, having the recipe available means you can start producing stamina food as soon as you build your Oven.
If Cooking Oil is scarce, Golden Garlic Crisps is a lighter alternative that uses Flour and Fine Salt instead of oil. It sells for less (146 Coins) but avoids the Cooking Oil bottleneck entirely.
Each cook awards 20 Cooking EXP, which is solid for leveling your cooking profession. If you are grinding Cooking levels, Fire-Kissed Garlic offers more EXP per cook than faster, lower-tier recipes.
