Cook food during blood moon

Occasionally, the night-time moon looming over Hyrule turns a chilling blood red. Things get spooky during the blood moon, with dead enemies reanimating zombie-style, potentially causing extra resource draining encounters for Link. As an antidote to this – or perhaps as preparation – Link can cook under the blood red moon, with recipes concocted during this time offering increased stat boosts as opposed to when cooking in normal daylight.
