Cooking in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires you to collect all sorts of different ingredients and combine them at a stove to create meals. Experimenting with different combinations can unlock recipes that you can then cook again and again. Once you’ve cooked a meal, you can eat to restore energy, give it to a villager to improve your Friendship Level, or sell it to Goofy for Star Coins.

Ingredients are scattered across Dreamlight Valley, although most are exclusive to a few biomes, so you’ll need to forage, harvest, and go fishing all over or seek out Goofy’s Stalls for seeds. More specialist ingredients, such as milk, butter, and eggs, can only be bought from the Chez Remy restaurant. You'll also need fuel for the stove so make sure you’re doing plenty of mining to gather coal too.

When you’re cooking you can throw up to five different things into the pot to create a dish, but the recipe that comes out at the end might not use all the ingredients. Recipes that do use all five ingredients are rated five stars and tend to be very valuable and restore a lot of Energy. But it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the best dishes, particularly if those ingredients are hard to get. Keep an eye out for recipe books too, as reading them will instantly unlock a new recipe for you to try.

00:06 Cooking in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires you to collect all sorts of different ingredients
00:10 and combine them at a stove to create meals.
00:14 Experimenting with different combinations can unlock recipes that you can then cook again and again.
00:19 Once you've cooked a meal, you can eat it to restore energy,
00:22 give it to a villager to improve your friendship level, or sell it to Goofy for Star Coins.
00:26 Ingredients are scattered across Dreamlight Valley, although most are exclusive to a few biomes,
00:32 so you'll need to forage, harvest, and go fishing all over, or seek out Goofy's stall to buy seeds.
00:39 More specialist ingredients such as milk, butter, and eggs can only be bought from the
00:44 Shays Remy restaurant. You'll also need fuel for the stove, so make sure that you're doing
00:49 plenty of mining to gather up some coal too. When you're cooking, you can throw up to five
00:54 different things into the pot to create a dish, but the recipe that comes out at the end might
00:59 not use all of those ingredients. Recipes that do use all five ingredients are rated with five stars
01:05 and tend to be very valuable and restore lots of energy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that
01:10 they're the best dishes, particularly if those ingredients are hard to get. Keep an eye out for
01:17 the recipe books too, as reading them will instantly unlock a new recipe for you to try.
01:24 If you really want to get into cooking, then we'd recommend visiting the Ratatouille realm
01:28 via the Dreamcastle as soon as possible. Remy will teach you lots of recipes before he even
01:34 decides to come live in Dreamlight Valley. However, once you've gotten the house back in the valley,
01:39 he'll then reopen the Shays Remy restaurant, giving you access to new ingredients and new recipes.
01:46 Remember to check the meal section of the collection menu to see what dishes you might
01:49 be able to make while experimenting, and use the recipe and auto-fill features on the stove
01:55 to save you from having to manually add ingredients every time. Stoves are capable
02:00 of pulling ingredients and coal directly from storage, so you definitely don't need to have
02:04 lots of food items taking up all your space in your backpack. With that in mind, here are our
02:10 top 10 recipes, in no particular order. Adrenaline Pickled Herring
02:14 This restores at least 2100 energy, and isn't really valuable enough to sell,
02:20 so it's great to have in your inventory for long expeditions.
02:23 Souffle This is a 4-star recipe that's worth
02:27 over 1000 coins, and restores well over 2000 energy.
02:31 Bouillabaisse The ingredients for bouillabaisse are easy
02:36 to get once you've unlocked Dazzle Beach, and it restores at least 2000 energy.
02:42 Grilled Fish Entree It's easy to make,
02:45 and the ingredients are easy to get from the starting plaza and peaceful meadow areas.
02:50 Cook lots and sell them to Goofy for easy Disney Dreamlike Valley Star Coins.
02:56 Lemon Garlic Swordfish This 3-star recipe restores over 3500 energy.
03:02 The ingredients aren't easy to get, but it's a good recipe to have ready for energy or to sell.
03:08 Pan Fried Anglerfish This is one of the most valuable dishes in
03:12 the game, selling for 2500 coins, despite being only a 4-star recipe. It does require rare
03:18 ingredients, and is definitely one to sell and not eat.
03:22 Poached Basil Buttered Sturgeon Much like the anglerfish,
03:25 this is another 4-star dish needing rare ingredients, but it's worth at least 2200 coins,
03:31 and restores at least 4900 energy. Fruit Salad
03:35 As one of the simplest and easiest meals in Disney Dreamlike Valley,
03:38 Fruit Salad is a reliable option for quick energy, especially during the early game.
03:43 Caramel Apples Once you've unlocked Dazzle Beach and can
03:46 grow Sugar Cane, use it with apples to create candied apples that grant even more energy than
03:51 a fruit salad for only one more ingredient that's really easy to grow.
03:55 Porridge with Fruits Porridge is an already simple dish,
03:59 requiring just wheat and milk to cook, but adding a single fruit, such as raspberry or apple,
04:04 massively increases the energy that it will restore.
04:07 Coming up we're going to go through a list of all the Disney Dreamlike Valley cooking recipes
04:12 that we've discovered so far, along with the ingredients needed. You can view the entire
04:16 assortment of 164 dishes under the meals section of the collection menu, and you can experiment
04:23 with ingredients to see what else you can create.
