Recipes, and the moves they power up.
Food in Pokopia does two things. It restores some of your move PP, and it powers up one of Ditto's field moves. The base game has four kinds of dish, and each kind powers up a different move. The Expansion Pass adds smoothies, which power up Surf. Cook the dish that matches the move you want to make stronger.

How cooking works
- Eat to refuel and power up your moves. Your field moves run on PP, and eating a cooked dish restores it. Chef Dente's recipes also power up Ditto's moves, so keep some cooked before a long session.
- Cook for the move you're missing. Salad powers Leafage, Soup powers Water Gun, Bread powers Cut, and Hamburger Steak powers Rock Smash (whose meter Rollout also uses). In the base game, those four are the only moves with a food upgrade. The Expansion Pass adds smoothies, which power up Surf.
- Six dishes are specialty-gated. Shredded Salad needs Chop, Crushed-Berry Salad needs Crush, Electrifying Soup needs Generate, Recycled Bread needs Recycle, Fluffy Bread needs Water, and the Bread Bowl needs Burn. Befriend a Pokémon with that specialty before you can cook them.
