Stardew Valley/Cooking

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

You can start cooking after complete the first farmhouse upgrade. In order to cook you need the recipe, which can come from different sources, and the ingredients. The monetary value of the result is usually less than the ingredients, so cooking is not a good way to increase your profits. But cooking does increase the food value of the ingredients, and many prepared dishes give you buff useful for fishing, mining, etc. Many dishes make good gifts as well.

[edit | edit source]

The main source of recipes is watching The Queen of Sauce on your television. This airs with a new episode every Sunday for the first 2 years, and then episodes are re-run after that. Randomly selected re-runs are shown on Wednesdays.
