It'll give you a bonus, like Guardian's Aspect does for leves (I assume, only not as much obviously), or those gathering/crafting manuals you can buy with Company Seals. That section you quoted is just saying that eating ingredients will ONLY give you an experience point bonus, as opposed to a prepared dish which gives the experience point bonus as well as a stat boost.
