Disney Dreamlight Valley: All Cooking Recipes

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a cozy life sim offering players the opportunity to befriend Disney characters while taking care of a valley. Throughout their adventures within the aforementioned valley and the Eternity Isle region, players can get to know and share time with beloved Disney characters, including Elsa, Moana, and Jack Skellington. They can gather resources, tend to a farm, decorate their house, and cook some great meals for themselves or the game’s many NPCs. They can even share collected ingredients or prepared dishes with the local wildlife and unlock new DDV companions.

While Disney Dreamlight Valley doesn’t allot a certain amount of energy for each day, it does require players to keep their energy bar filled. One way that players can do this is by visiting their house to rest up or eat tasty meals. Some Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes are unlocked by completing quests for villagers, but the majority are discovered through experimentation with the game’s ingredients. This process can be challenging for players aiming to complete their cookbook with the array of dishes available in the game. For those having trouble, this guide will help players learn exactly what ingredients they’ll need for every cooking recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

There are more than 300 Disney Dreamlight Valley cooking recipes for players to learn and prepare, with recipes divided into three categories: appetizers, entrées, and desserts. Each recipe has a star rating which indicates the quality of the dish, dictating the number of ingredients required to prepare the dish and informing the player of which recipes will restore more energy or sell for the most Star Coins at Goofy’s Stall.

While certain recipes in Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes demand precise ingredients, many others feature “versatile” ingredient slots indicated by a category icon, allowing players to use any ingredient from that specific category. For the most part, players can use any ingredient from that category to fill a versatile ingredient slot, though, in a select few cases, this may result in a different dish being created.

In this guide, any recipes featuring versatile ingredient slots have that slot’s category italicized to spotlight the flexibility in preparing the dish. Whenever a new recipe is discovered, either by experimentation or learned from a recipe book, the recipe will show up in the main list and detail the required ingredients, making it easy for players to craft this dish again.

Below, players will find a full list of all of the meals in Disney Dreamlight Valley and the A Rift in Time expansion, along with the ingredients required to craft them, the recipe’s star rating, and the minimum amount of energy the meal will restore when consumed. Both the amount of energy restored and the selling price of the meal will depend on which ingredients are used in the versatile ingredient slots.

How to Cook in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Cooking is a major gameplay feature in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and prepared dishes have many uses. Cooked meals can be sold at Goofy’s Stall to earn Star Coins, the game’s primary currency. They can also be gifted to the Valley’s residents to increase their Friendship with the player or served to residents dining at Chez Remy, the Ratatouille’s chef’s famed restaurant, once unlocked. This too offers an opportunity for the player to increase their bond with the Disney characters, which leads to unlocking new quests and rewards.

Cooking in Disney Dreamlight Valley can be performed at any cooking station, which includes any of the game’s Stove furniture pieces, or in the kitchen in Remy’s Restaurant. The player should approach the cooking station and press the corresponding interaction hotkey. One of the best features of cooking in Dreamlight Valley is that the player does not need to have the ingredients in their inventory. Instead, the cooking menu will display every ingredient and the amount that the player currently has in storage chests or their inventory.

Once the player has fired up the cooking pot with a piece of Coal Ore, they can choose from a variety of recipes they’ve already learned or simply select ingredients to toss in the pot and see what comes out. To add an ingredient, click on it and hold down the button to drag it into the pot. There’s no way to fail at cooking; every combination of ingredients will prepare an edible dish that can be consumed to restore energy, sold for Star Coins, or shared with residents.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time, accomplished chefs can now showcase their advanced cooking abilities with the new Ancient Cooker machine. This magical device enables players to simultaneously craft multiple servings of the same dish. To unlock the recipe for the Ancient Cooker machine, players need to upgrade the expansion’s new Royal Hourglass tool. These upgrades are done using the Timebending Table, where the Ancient Cooker is also crafted once the recipe is available.
