Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Cooking Guide – All Recipes and How to Cook

How to cook in A Wonderful Life

To cook in the game, head into your house and interact with the stove in your room/kitchen. Then you can choose from either Choose Ingredients if you want to do it freestyle, or Make by Recipe to cook something following a known recipe. Afterwards, select the type of dish that you want to make; not all types will be unlocked in the early part of the game.

If you follow the recipe or make a dish with the right recipe under the right food type, you will then get the dish that you made, otherwise you will end up with a failed dish.

How to increase Cooking Level

Cooking level is a semi-hidden mechanic in the game that corresponds to your cooking skill. There are three levels in cooking, starting from level 1 to level 3. Each time you successfully cook a dish, you will receive some amount of experience, and once you have obtained enough experience, you will get to the next cooking level.

Each level will allow you to cook different kinds of food types:

• Level 1 – Salads and Soups
• Level 2 – Hors d’oeuvre and Desserts
• Level 3 – Entrées

How to unlock Recipes

Recipes can be unlocked through various ways such as by talking to the Nature Sprites everyday or by taking on a villager request. There are also plenty of hints around the valley and within the town that point out to a particular recipe such as books or notes. You don’t need to unlock a recipe before cooking a dish as long as you got the food type and the ingredients right.
