There are 13 total meals and 13 total recipes, but you only have to find 12 of the recipes since Flaky Baguette is unlocked by default. Giving the bartenders at Dandelion all 12 recipes in a single playthrough will net you the Haute Cuisine trophy on PS4/PS5 and the achievement on Steam. Additionally, if you give all 13 meals to Sister Mel at the Balduq Cathedral, you’ll get some useful items for your journey.

You can get these recipes at various points in the game by talking to people, finding them in treasure chests, or earning them as rewards by gathering collectibles.

Note that progress on the Haute Cuisine trophy or achievement does not transfer to New Game+. You must find all 12 recipes in a single playthrough.
