Six ways to learn a recipe
If a recipe is missing, it is almost certainly sitting behind one of these rather than behind a level.
- Bought from shops.
- Given as quest rewards.
- Mailed to you after you ship a crop the recipe uses.
- Awarded for museum donations.
- Sold at festivals.
- Found in treasure boxes.
The seven categories
Recipes are organised as Pantry items, Snacks, Salads, Soups & Stews, Main Dishes, Desserts and Drinks. Completion tracking runs per category, so a wing that looks stalled is often just one category behind.
Cooked food does four jobs
It restores health and stamina, it sells for more than its inputs, it feeds the Cooking skill itself, and — through infusions — it produces the only gifts in the game that everyone likes.
