Disney Dreamlight Valley Cooking & Recipes List Guide

While most of the time, Disney Dreamlight Valley provides clear instructions on where and what to do, when it comes to cooking meals, you have to either receive the Recipe or discover it by experimenting with the ingredients.

Probably the main reason you are here is that you stumbled upon some Dreamlight Duties asking you to prepare a 4-star or even 5-star meal, or maybe the Event Duties ask you to make some specific meals, but you don’t have a Recipe for them.

Don’t worry because, in the following guide, we will show you how to unlock Cooking and provide a complete list of all the recipes in the video game developed by Gameloft for you to start cooking immediately.

How To Unlock Cooking In Disney Dreamlight Valley 

Disney Dreamlight Valley Cooking system can be unlocked in three different ways:

• Repair Scrooge McDuck’s Store (covered in-depth here), talk to him inside the shop, and order a stove from his catalog by choosing the I’d like to order some items line.
• Complete the Foodception Quest from Mickey Mouse (also covered in-depth here) to receive a Stove for free.
• Craft a stove at the Crafting Station, next to the Goofy’s house.

Once you get your hands on a stove, go inside your house and place it down so you can start cooking.

How To Cook 

To cook in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you must gather ingredients like vegetables, fruits, grains, fish, seafood, spices, etc.

These ingredients can be obtained in a couple of ways, including:

• gathering from trees, bushes, and the ground
• fishing in the ponds and sea
• buying from the Goofy’s stalls
• planting seeds and harvesting
• buying from Remy once Chez Remy is open

If you’re looking for a particular ingredient, go to the Collection menu and choose the Ingredients tab. Every ingredient in the game is listed here, and by selecting one, it will show you where you can find or buy it.

Once you’ve gathered the ingredients, interact with a stove, either the one in your house, Mickey’s house, or Chez Remy.

You’ll be able to add up to five ingredients into the pot by dragging the ingredients off of the left-hand menu one at a time and dropping them into the pot. Then, select Start Cooking to prepare the meal.

You also need Coal Ore every time you prepare a meal, which can usually be found by digging or mining rock spots.

The meal will be added to your inventory automatically. You can then choose to continue cooking or stop.

Also, if your inventory is full, you must drop something on the floor to receive your meal in your inventory.

Quick Tip: you don’t need to have your ingredients in your inventory to use them for Cooking. If you keep your ingredients in a chest, you’ll have access to all of them when you use the stove.

How To Find & Use Recipes 

When you interact with the stove, you can open the Recipes window in the top-left corner of the screen.

Each Recipe contains pieces of information such as:

• Name of the Recipe
• Picture of the Recipe
• Star Rating – Rated from 1 to 5 stars
• Specific Ingredients Slots – These ingredients are essential and cannot be replaced
• Any Ingredient Slot – Ingredients are split into eight categories (check the categories below); when you see the category icon in the Recipe, it means any ingredient from that category will work.

For instance, you could cook the Veggie Pie with any vegetable (lettuce, carrot, onion, mushroom, potato, etc.), butter, and wheat.

Also, you can unlock more Cooking Recipes in three different ways:

• Finding them inside houses in the furniture or digging them up from the ground
• Obtaining them as rewards from quests
• Experiment with Cooking until you unlock a new Recipe (you don’t need to have the Recipe unlocked to be able to cook it – check our Cooking Recipes List below and start cooking);

NOTE: Cooking once any of the recipes listed below will permanently unlock the Recipe in your in-game Recipes list.

List of Ingredients & Recipes

The following table contains all Disney Dreamlight Valley Cooking Ingredients, grouped by their Cooking category:

When a recipe includes the word Any followed by one of the eight categories listed above, you can add any ingredient that falls into that category.

For instance, if a recipe calls for Potato, Any Spice, Any Vegetable, you could prepare the meal in various ways, such as Potato, Oregano, Lettuce or Potato, Basil, Carrot.
