Complete Guide to Cooking Recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
It’s time to whip up some delicious dishes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! If you’re wondering where to find all those tasty recipes and how to start cooking, you’ve come to the right spot. For those looking to expand their culinary horizons beyond just munching on fruit, there’s a wealth of knowledge to gather and plenty of ingredients to collect, and it’s all pretty straightforward.
Everything you create can be eaten, gifted, or displayed in your cozy home, adding a charming touch to your island life. Plus, many of the meals you can make are also consumable, so if you’re ready to don your chef’s hat and dive into the kitchen, here’s how to gather and cook all the recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
First, make your way to the Nook Stop terminal located in Resident Services and navigate to the ‘Redeem Nook Miles’ section. Here, you’ll find the ‘Be a Chef! DIY Recipes+’ upgrade, which unlocks cooking and provides you with a starter set of recipes.
Next, it’s time to gather the ingredients for the dishes you want to prepare. Many recipes will require you to spend some time farming in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, collecting seeds and growing crops like tomatoes, wheat, and more. Others will call for fish or ingredients like mushrooms.
Once you have everything you need, head over to any oven, cooker, or stove in your home. If you don’t have one yet, you’ll need to purchase and place it in your house to start cooking. The cooking process is quite similar to crafting at a workbench: just interact with your oven, select the ‘Let’s cook!’ option, and choose the recipe you want to create. Then, sit back and watch as your dish comes to life! After it’s ready, you can choose to display, eat, or gift your culinary creation.
