Everyone knows that Soup Is Medicine. When you're sick, nothing makes you feel better than a piping-hot bowl of soup.
But sometimes it goes further than that. In fiction, food, be it specific recipes or specific ingredients, can work as well as any prescribed medication. These range from treating minor and severe illnesses, energizing and strengthening the body, or even resuscitating those on the verge of death. Expect this medicinal food to be highly sought after, expensive, and hard to get.
More grounded examples may use food in tandem with more traditional medical treatment or simply as home remedies for various ills.
To some extent, this is Truth in Television. Many illnesses, such as heart disease, scurvy, and osteoporosis can be caused by nutritional imbalances and deficiencies. Changing a patient's diet to correct these imbalances can potentially alleviate symptoms or eliminate the illness entirely. There are an increasing number of studies into whether or not the institution of prescribed diets could be used as both a preventative and a curative measure in treating chronic illness.
A Super-Trope to Soup Is Medicine and Hot Drink Cure, where piping hot soups or drinks are given to those feeling under the weather. See also Warm Milk Helps You Sleep, where warm milk is used as a remedy for insomnia. Compare Hyperactive Metabolism, where characters can heal wounds by eating enough calories for a Healing Factor to patch up. Related to Power-Up Food, where eating certain foods can give one superpowers. There is certain to be a Grandma's Recipe for this when someone gets sick. The fantastical kinds of medicinal cooking is also likely to involve a Fantastic Medicinal Bodily Product in the recipe somewhere.

In the third chapter of Dark Chronicle, Max and Monica travel to Balance Valley to restore history and bring Crest the Great Sage back into existence. Unfortunately, Crest is dead, and his apprentice Lin is the only person who knows what happened to him — but she's inhaled a toxic mist that is killing her. Monica recalls that in her time, there was a great chef named Lao Chao who prepared dumplings that could cure any illness, and the first part of the chapter is spent both restoring Lao Chao's bistro to the timestream and procuring the ingredients for the dumplings.

Enforced in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Cooking and eating are the only way for Link to recover hearts as opposed to drinking health potions in previous games. Depending on the ingredients, and to some extent how Link combines them with each other when cooking, Link can cook up a wide variety of platters with an equal variety of effects that benefit his health. Some of the effects include increased resistance to cold or hot temperatures, while others may only recover a few hearts or completely restore Link to full health and add on several more hearts.

In an episode of Full House, Danny suffers from laryngitis until he visits Gia's house, where her mother Claire whips up an old family recipe for him. A single spoonful of the liquid is enough to completely cure him (although this raises questions about why Claire hasn't sold the recipe to make millions).

In one anime-only arc of Naruto, the Curry of Life is a dish made only by the store that bears its name. Its hellishly spicy flavor is said to be able to instantly resuscitate an unconscious or dying person, while those brave and resilient enough to eat multiple portions may even be strengthened by it. However, those who have a low tolerance for this kind of food may be knocked unconscious instead.

Ken from Nobunaga no Chef is not just concerned about the flavours of the food he cooks but also their nutritional values, and frequently rattles off the vitamin and mineral contents of his food, as well as the health benefits of the ingredients he used, when presenting his dishes. When he is captured by Shingen Takeda's forces, Akiyama suggests that he should make Ken serve as Shingen's doctor because of this.

Toriko:
Meteor Garlic is so packed with nutrition that anyone who consumes it instantly undergoes a Growing Muscles Sequence and becomes absurdly muscular for a time. According to Match, it's also known as the "Doping Garlic", as it provides enough energy to work all day and all night for a month without rest.
Medicinal Mochi is made from a special Colored Rice that can neutralize any poison it comes in contact with. It is the only known antidote for the poisonous Green Rain emitted by the monstrous Four Beast. Its potent curative properties are only matched by the difficulty of its preparation, with even world-class chefs struggling to prepare it until Komatsu develops a way to simplify the process.

Final Fantasy XIV:
Food produced by a culinarian offers stat boosts to the consumer on top of a 3% bonus to experience gained in combat, by crafting, or by gathering for 30 minutes. While low-level recipes offer minuscule bonuses, high-level recipes can offer sizable stat buffs that can lead to a much sharper increase in performance comparable to major buffing skills or multiple materia melds.
When an amaro named Skip is poisoned by poachers, Bethric, head of the Facet of Nourishing, commissions the Warrior of Darkness to prepare a series of delicious and highly nutritious meals to assist in the amaro's rehabilitation process. This proves especially important as Skip has lasting trauma from having his fodder poisoned. As such, he won't eat anything unless the Warrior prepares it and someone else tastes it in front of him to prove it's safe to eat.
Frithik, head of the Facet of Fishing, notes that there's been an uptick in disease at the Crystarium. His scholarly research points to a nutritional deficiency caused by a lack of food variety. So he asks the Warrior of Darkness to catch varieties of fish consumed before the Flood in hopes of correcting this nutritional deficit. This includes catching eighteye eels to treat "night blindness", creamy oysters to treat pica, and longmirror clams to treat heart palpitations and dizziness. Their efforts work with flying colors.
The Sharlayan dish "archon loaf" is designed to be a compact, easily-made foodstuff packed with all the nutrition one could possibly need. Unfortunately, it's also disgusting, and its successor panaloaf is even worse. The Faculty of Medicine Studium Deliveries revolve around Debroye's efforts to make it palatable so Sharlayan doesn't suffer a Fate Worse than Death by having to eat it constantly in the event of a food crisis.

She brings the two together with magical dishes that have specific curative effects: for example, her shortbread cookies can provide a healthy dose of Laser-Guided Amnesia (very useful for maintaining The Masquerade), while her eggnog recipe can cure people's alcoholism with a single cup.

The humble Druid spell "Goodberry" creates or enchants a few berries so that each one can heal a point of damage and provide a day's nourishment.
The mid-level "Heroes' Feast" spell creates a magnificent banquet that cures all poisons and diseases in the people who eat it, among other ongoing benefits.
The 5th Edition feat "Chef" lets you prepare meals while taking a short rest that boost the amount of hit points characters recover from spending Hit Dice during the rest.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable: Tonio Trussardi and his Stand, Pearl Jam, can grant the meals he prepares medicinal properties that can heal an ailment of choice, such as curing indigestion or reliving sleep deprivation. There's a catch though, and it's quite gruesome: the healing process works by painfully destroying or expelling a part of the body and replacing it with a healthy new version. Curing indigestion for example will burst your intestines from your abdomen and create new ones in their place. The customer will feel afterwards though like nothing happened, and feel healthier to boot.

He describes the four things to balance as heat, cold, wet, and dry. Since a fever is being too hot, he says one must have cold food, and since she is dry, she needs moisture. He gives her watered-down cider and a concoction using sheep's milk.

After the other members of the party manage to kill the elemental, reducing it to mana-rich water, Marcille tries drinking it to restore her mana but is convinced to let Senshi use it as the base for a stew first, under the logic that nutrients are easier to absorb if eaten with food.

In Final Fantasy: Lost Stranger, Shogo draws on his knowledge of Final Fantasy XIV to invoke this trope, as Libra allows him to see that food can provide notable increases in certain stats. He tests this theory by swapping his party's meals around to better reflect their chosen professions. Everyone is surprised at how much better they're doing afterward. Sharuru also brings up the idea of sommeliers at ultra-high-class restaurants recommending dishes tailored to the clients.

Encanto: Julieta's gift is that her food is able to cure people, from simple bruises to broken bones. She even ended up meeting her husband because of his propensity to get stung by bees. She also seems to be specially fond of making arepas.

In Mission: Yozakura Family, Mutsumi sets out to make a traditional Yozakura manju bun to help treat the Heroic RRoD Taiyo is experiencing after being dosed with her blood to give him the powers of a Yozakura. The ingredients are downright lethal, including potassium cyanide, poisonous pufferfish, and hydrochloric acid, and it's fully intended to knock the consumer out on consumption. It works as intended after Taiyo manages to help her finish it, though it still knocks him unconscious in the process.

In The Camp Half-Blood Series, Greek and Roman demigods can consume ambrosia and nectar, the food of the gods, to quickly recover from their wounds and exhaustion. The downside is that their mortal bodies can only handle so much, and eating too much of it will cause them to combust. This is why it's reserved for emergencies.
