Inky Sauce, Healthy Salad, and Zess Special are some of the best recipes to make in Zess T.'s kitchen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (TTYD). Read on to learn the best recipes to make with Zess T. herself!

Best Zess T. Recipes

Inky Sauce

Item	Ingredients
Inky Sauce	Turtley Leaf + Hot Sauce

Inky Sauce restores 30 FP upon eating it, which can be useful if you tend to attack with moves that use Flower Points.

The ingredients are also fairly easy to get, as you can obtain Turtley Leaves in front of Mayor Kroop's pink house in Petalburg and purchase a Hot Sauce from the rat businessman in Glitzville after completing the Security Code... trouble.

Healthy Salad

Item	Ingredients
Healthy Salad	Turtley Leaf + Horsetail

A Healthy Salad restores less FP than Inky Sauce, but you can get its ingredients at no cost at all.

Like with the previous recipe, you can get Turtley Leaves at Petalburg, while you can obtain Horsetails by hitting the blue candy cane beside the tall green pipe in Petal Meadows.

Zess Special

Item	Ingredients
Zess Special	Mushroom + Fresh Pasta

A Zess Special restores 20 HP and FP, which can be useful if you need a quick fix of health and Flower Points.

It is also easy to make, as you can buy a Mushroom for 3 coins in Pungent's Great Tree Shop inside The Great Tree while you can get a Fresh Pasta in Poshley Heights for 50 coins.
