In Disney Dreamlight Valley, you will need to grow crops and forage as part of your journey to save the valley. After gathering a variety of different ingredients, you’ll probably want to try your hand at cooking. Cooking can make your crops worth more to sell, or can be gifted to Disney characters around the valley to improve your friendship. See how cooking works at Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How Cooking Works at Disney Dreamlight Valley
From the beginning of the game, you will be introduced to the concept of recipe books, which will teach you how to make a single dish. Although this rarely happens throughout the game, you can also learn how to cook new recipes just by trying things. If you put the right ingredients in the pot, you will create a new dish and unlock that recipe in the collection. This means that as long as you know what ingredients are needed and have them, you can make any dish in the game.
Recipes in Disney Dreamlight Valley require one of two things. The recipe will either require you to have the exact ingredients listed. For example, creamy garlic scallops call for scallops, garlic, lemon, and butter. Other recipes will call for any ingredient from a specific category. For example, Fish Steak requires tomato, basil and any fish. It can be cod, salmon or tuna, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s in that category.
