Disney Dreamlight Valley: Best Recipes List to Cook

Cooking delicious meals is a beloved part of the Disney Dreamlight Valley experience. As you befriend Mickey, Moana and more, you’ll also want to master the culinary arts to restore your energy, earn star coins, and share gifts with your neighbors. This guide will list Disney Dreamlight Valley's best recipes to cook.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Best Recipes to Cook

Luckily, there are over 190 mouthwatering recipes to discover in the valley. While some dishes like Remy’s famous ratatouille are learned through questlines, most meals require experimentation at the stove. However, first of all, you need to understand the basics of how cooking works in the game.

How Cooking Works

Cooking stations are located throughout Dreamlight Valley. You can use the stove in your house, Remy’s restaurant kitchen, or stoves placed in other realms. Simply approach the stove, add a piece of coal to start it up, then drag ingredients from your inventory into the pot.

Recipes fall into three categories:

Appetizers: Small dishes like salads and soups
Entrees: Hearty main courses of pasta, pizza, seafood and more
Desserts: Sweet treats like pies, cookies and ice cream

You don’t need to have learned a recipe to cook it. Throw together ingredients you think sound tasty and you may discover a new dish! Of course, once the recipe is added to your cookbook, it will show the required ingredients to easily craft that meal again.

Best Recipes for Restoring Energy and Selling

Certain ingredients and higher starred recipes provide greater benefits. For example, pumpkins can be turned into 5-star pumpkin puffs that sell for a premium or restore lots of energy.

Here are some top dishes for restoring energy:

5-Star Appetizers: Pumpkin Soup, Potato Leek Soup
5-Star Entrees: Lancetfish Paella, Mushu’s Congee
5-Star Desserts: Birthday Cake, Aurora’s Cake

And best recipes for selling:

Pumpkin Puffs (Appetizer)
Pumpkin Soup (Appetizer)
Lobster Roll (Entree)
Poached Basil-Butter Sturgeon (Entree)

Of course ingredients play a key role too. Prioritize the highest quality ingredients when cooking solely for energy or coins.

How to Find New Recipes

There are a couple ways to expand your recipe collection:

Experiment: Combine different ingredients at the stove and discover new dishes
Recipe Books: Occasionally given as quest rewards to teach unique recipes

You can also check the lists in this guide to see if you’re missing anything. With over 180 meals to master, expect new culinary surprises even after hours of gameplay!
