Destiny 2 The Dawning 2021 recipes list: How to get all holiday cookie recipes and Dawning ingredients, including Flash of Inspiration
Destiny 2's The Dawning sees the return of the game's annual holiday event.
As with previous years, it centres around oven cookie recipes, each requiring ingredients before you can cook them - all of which are generated by killing different things with specific methods.
Creating different recipes is all part of several questlines, including The Pigeon Provides quest - which rewards you with Zephyr, the new Stasis sword - and Rite of Dawning.
Note that The Dawning runs between December 14th, 2021 to January 4th, 2022 - starting and ending at the usual weekly reset time.

Destiny The Dawning 2021 ingredients list, including Flash of Inspiration
To craft the above Holiday Oven recipes, you need to source Dawning Ingredients. These are dropped from performing different types of kills.
While the list remained unchanged during 2020, there is a new addition this year (while Pinch of Light has been removed):
| Dawning 2021 ingredient | Source |
|---|---|
| Balanced Flavours | Scout, Sniper, Pulse or Bow kills |
| Bullet Spray | Automatic kills |
| Cabal Oil | Cabal kills |
| Chitin Powder | Hive kills |
| Dark Ether Cane | Scorn kills |
| Delicious Explosion | Explosive kills |

| Null Taste | Void kills |
| Perfect Taste | Precision kills |
| Personal Touch | Melee kills |
| Sharp Flavour | Sword hills |
| Superb Texture | Super kills |
| Taken Butter | Taken kills |
| Vex Milk | Vex kills |
You then need to get a third ingredient - 15 Essence of Dawning - to craft the recipe.
You earn Essence of Dawning from completing activities and Bounties from Eva. If you're looking for a fast method to get these, then continue on to the penultimate bullet point in the following section...
Season of the Haunted is here! Get up to speed with our levelling guide. For The Witch Queen, learn how to get Exotics including Dead Messenger and Parasite. Late last year, we saw the Bungie 30th Anniversary, which adds the Grasp of Avarice dungeon, Strange Coins and new Exotics, including the Gjallarhorn and Forerunner.
Everything else you need to know about Destiny's The Dawning event
All the above tables is pretty much everything you need to know about this year's event. However, here's some additional tidbits that might help:
- The main objective in 2021 is to create Swaddled Etherdips and progress through The Pigeon Provides quest, which will lead you to unlock the new Stasis sword called Zephyr.
- A secondary objective is when you bake one of every recipe, the Dawning oven will be masterworked - making future recipes cheaper to bake.
- It's worth equipping the Dawning ship, the Starfarer 7M, for additional Dawning Spirit during the event. If you played last year chances are you already have it - otherwise, go to the second page of Eva's list to get one. Don't forget to upgrade it!
- There are a few recipes and cookies for vendors that aren't always around in the game - such as Xur - so masterworking and getting every Triumph will take a bit of patience.
- As before, Burnt Edge Transit is the cookie you receive when you combine 'wrong' ingredients. If it's anything like previous years, you need to do this before you complete every recipe, as when you masterwork the oven, you cannot then make a Burnt Edge Transit.
- As with every seasonal event, there are a series of time-limited Triumphs to unlock before it concludes. The vast majority of these involving creating one of each recipe type and handing it over to the respective vendor.
- Essence of Dawning drops from pretty much every activity in the game. However, if you want a farming method, the following video from Part Time Guardian recommends completing Legend Lost Sectors - the higher difficulty challenge introduced in Beyond Light - which is also useful if you want to grab certain new Exotics:
- If you plan to do everything in The Dawning and are not sure where to start with the many recipes, we recommend just playing the game as you normally would, and seeing what ingredients arrive in your lap. For example, completing Bounties for other events - such as Gambit - will naturally force you to use a variety of elements and weapons, and have you face a variety of adversaries naturally. Then, you can work out the things you then need to source to complete the remaining Triumphs.
Enjoy the holiday event!
