In Dreamlight Valley, each game update brings more recipes, adding to the adventure of growing and gathering ingredients. Cooking becomes a delightful task, not just for making meals to sell but also for sharing with friends in the Valley.
Early on, players discover recipe books that reveal how to create specific dishes. However, experimenting with different ingredients can also unveil new recipes. As long as you know what you need, you can whip up any meal.
Recipes usually need exact ingredients or sometimes just a category, like using any fish for a Fish Steak. For instance, Creamy Garlic Scallops require Scallops, Garlic, Lemon, and Butter, while Fish Steak can use any fish along with Tomato and Basil.
In Dreamlight Valley, every recipe is available without extra purchases.
