The Pooka Kitchen is a pooka rustic cookery located in the hidden Pooka Village of the Valentine Kingdom and acts as the more savory counter-part to the sweeter Rabbit Café across the street. The cookery is owned and operated by a female Pooka named Melelunch, and first becomes available to the player after visiting Nebulapolis as Gwendolyn.
Description[]
Similar to the Rabbit Café, the Pooka Kitchen is a prime location to efficiently raise your character's level and hit points by consuming delicious gourmet cuisines. These dishes provide a significant boost in EXP that far exceeds that of normal food purchased from vendors or found in battle. Some dishes can even be wrapped up "to-go" and be used to give your character a significant edge in battle.
To create a dish, the player will have to be carrying the necessary ingredients in their inventory as well as possess the correct recipe and Valentinian coin (Ariel, Valentinian or Commemorative). Most recipes can be obtained from chests after completing a particular stage, while some secret recipes will only become available after repeatedly creating a dish a specified number of times. Keep in mind that the player will have to leave and re-enter the Pooka Kitchen before a secret recipe to appear on the menu.
Ingredients can be purchased from merchants, found on the battlefield, or grown from seeds using phozons. In addition, some ingredients can only be found in specific areas (such as mandragoras), so make sure to note where different ingredients pop up because some areas cannot be accessed during certain chapters.
As of Leifthrasir, the Kitchen and Café no longer require ingredients in order to be used, instead just requiring the Valentine Coins. However they give Bonus EXP for the first three orders of a recipe and after the third it gives the usual amount of EXP. Additionally, most of the dishes available at this restaurant, can now be cooked at the Maury's Touring Restaurant.
