Completing the Disney Dreamlight ValleyΒ Mickeyβs Memories quest is the first step to learning how to cook or prepare delicious meals in the video game developed by Gameloft.
Thatβs because Mickeyβs Memories quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires you to find your first Cooking Recipe, eventually leading to learning how to cook a Fruit Salad.
But to get the Recipe, there are additional objectives and tasks you must complete for Mickey Mouse.
So, throughout the following Disney Dreamlight Valley Mickeyβs Memories walkthrough, weβll discuss the first Mickey Mouse quest and where to find the Cooking Recipe near Chez Remy.
How To Start Mickeyβs Memories Quest In Disney Dreamlight Valley
To start Mickeyβs Memories in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you only need to find Mickey Mouseβs house; however, to complete the quest, youβll need an additional tool.
Specifically, the Shovel, which is obtained by completing the Royal Tools quest weβve covered here.
As such, before visiting one of Disneyβs most beloved characters, itβs a good idea to complete the Royal Tools quest for Merlin, and while playing the said quest, youβll also have to finish the Fishing Expedition quest for Goofy; otherwise, you wonβt be able to obtain the fourth tool.
Once both of these quests are completed or after you find the Shovel, head back to your house, and across the street, youβll see Mickeyβs house.

Head inside the house, and youβll find Mickey, who, as you can guess, has some tasks for you.
Removing The Night Thorns In Mickeyβs House
The first objective you must complete inside Mickeyβs House is to remove the Night Thorns, and this task is pretty straightforward since it doesnβt require any tools.
Basically, you need to approach the Night Thorns and use your bare hands to make them disappear. On Xbox, this can be done by pressing A, while on Playstation X.
There are 4 Night Thorns you must remove inside the house, and the most important one is by the fridge because it contains a Memory.

By removing the Thorn marked above, youβll unlock the second Dreamlight Valley Memory, and Mickey will ask you to investigate it.
So pick it up by pressing A on Xbox, and youβll see a beautiful picture showing Mickey Mouse in front of Chez Remy.
If you donβt know, Remy (also known as Little Chef) is the protagonist of Disney Pixarβs 2007 animated feature film, Ratatouille.
So, talk to Mickey again, and heβll offer some valuable tips on Remyβs Recipes and what you can do with them. For the first Recipe, youβll need to find the location of Mickeyβs Memory.
Mickeyβs Memory Location
The location of Mickeyβs Memory is shown in the image you just discovered. Or simply put is Chez Remy restaurant.
Exit Mickeyβs House, turn right, and youβll reach the round Plaza with a fountain in the middle.

As you cross the plaza moving east, youβll see the Chez Remy restaurant marked above.
When you get close to the restaurant, your objective changes, and youβll be asked to search the area to find the Recipe.
Mickeyβs Memories Recipe Location
The location of the Recipe needed for Mickeyβs Memories quest is also provided by the picture you found in Mickeyβs House.
If you take a closer look at the said picture, youβll notice a hole in the corner of the restaurant, next to Mickeyβs table. It is the same spot where you find the Shovel.
The hole indicates that the Recipe is buried, so youβll need to dig a hole and remove all obstacles around it.
To dig the hole, youβll need the Shovel; thatβs why completing the Royal Tools is mandatory. Assuming you have the Shovel, select it by pressing RT on your Xbox controller, then dig a hole at the glowing spot on the ground.

Upon digging at the location marked above, youβll reveal your first Disney Dreamlight Valley Cooking Recipe that can be used to learn how to prepare a Fruit Salad. But first, you need to learn it.
As such, open your backpack by pressing Y on your Xbox controller, then select the Fruit Salad Recipe.
Finally, select Use from the drop-down menu, and the Recipe will be added to the Meals list.

If you check the bottom of the screen, youβll learn that you need apples to make a Fruit Salad; however, for now, youβll have to talk one last time to Mickey. Feel free to pick whatever answers you want, as they wonβt affect the gameplay or the gameβs story.
After showing him the Fruit Salad Recipe, Disney Dreamlight Valley Mickeyβs Memories quest ends, and youβll unlock the Gray Jean Overalls alongside the next quest named Foodception, which sets you one step closer to unlocking the cooking activity.
