In Disney Dreamlight Valley, you will need to grow crops and forage for food as part of your journey to save the Valley. Once you have gathered a variety of different ingredients, you will likely want to try your hand at cooking. Cooking can make your crops worth more to sell or can be gifted to the Disney characters around the Valley to improve your friendship. Here’s how cooking works in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This list also includes the new recipes added as part of the December Toy Story update.

While most of the game tends to give players clear instructions when it comes to making dishes you have to either find the recipe itself or do some trial and error with ingredients.

That would be fine were it not for the fact that some quests, Dreamlight Duties and Event Duties ask you to create specific dishes.

Our Dreamlight Valley recipe list, then, will help you figure out how to make some of the dishes you don’t have recipes for yet.

Note: This guide has now been updated to include new recipes added in the game’s December 6 update.

DREAMLIGHT VALLEY GUIDE: HOW TO COOK

To cook in Dreamlight Valley, you need to gather ingredients and find a stove.

There are several methods of gathering your ingredients, including:

  • gathering from from trees and the ground
  • farming your own by buying seeds and growing them
  • buying them from stalls
  • buying them from Remy once Chez Remy is open

If there’s a specific ingredient you’re looking for, go to the Collection screen and choose the Ingredients tab. There you’ll find every ingredient in the game, and by selecting one you’ll see where you can find or buy it.

Once you’ve got the ingredients you need, find a stove – either the one in your own house or the one in Chez Remy – and use it. You’ll be able to drop up to five ingredients into the stove, and can then choose Start Cooking to make the meal.

You also need Coal Ore every time you use the stove, but this can easily be found anywhere in the game, usually by digging.

Also, here’s a tip: you don’t need to have an ingredient in your inventory to use it when cooking. If you have ingredients stored in a chest, they’ll all be available to you when you use the stove.

DREAMLIGHT VALLEY GUIDE: LIST OF RECIPES

Note: when a recipe includes any of the following ingredients, it means you can add any ingredient that falls into that category:

  • Vegetables: Asparagus, bell pepper, carrot, corn, cucumber, eggplant, leek, lettuce, okra, onion, potato, pumpkin, spinach, tomato, zucchini
  • Fruit: Apple, banana, blueberry, cherry, coconut, gooseberry, lemon, raspberry
  • Sweet: Cocoa bean, sugarcane, vanilla
  • Dairy: Butter, milk
  • Shellfish: Clam, crab, lobster, oyster, scallop, shrimp
  • Fish: Anglerfish, bass, bream, carp, catfish, cod, fugu, herring, kingfish, lancetfish, perch, pike, rainbow trout, salmon, sole, squid, swordfish, tilapia, tuna, walleye, white sturgeon
  • Spice: Basil, garlic, ginger, mushroom, oregano
  • Grains: Canola, rice, soya, wheat

For example, if a recipe calls for ‘fish, vegetable, vegetable’, you could make that dish in a variety of ways, such as ‘bass, carrot, cucumber’ or ‘cod, onion, onion’.

At the bottom of this guide is a list of every ingredient in the game and each category they come under, because it’s not the same as the categories in the Collection’s ‘Ingredients’ page.
