You'll know which ones you've already cooked if they have a blue tick next to them. You can also check which recipes you've bought by going to the Pouch tab and scrolling the the penultimate category, Recipes, near the bottom. Once you’ve cooked and eaten all 22, you’ll have your achievement!
Like many of these achievements, you can check your progress in your Ranger Records by pausing the game, navigating to “Ranger Files” (one tab to the right), and then selecting the Ranger Records dossier (the red one on the right). The
Gold Tableware medal is the fourth medal on the final row.
