Raw meat is the backbone of cooking in Skyrim. Eaten as it is, it restores only 1 to 5 Health, but at a cooking pot or spit almost every cut becomes a far better meal, usually with just a Salt Pile. This page also covers the two simple haunches made from horse and rabbit. Every character knows all cooking recipes from the start.
