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.

00:00Cooking in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires you to collect all sorts of different ingredients
00:11and combine them at a stove to create meals.
00:14Experimenting with different combinations can unlock recipes that you can then cook
00:18again and again.
00:19Once you've cooked a meal, you can eat it to restore energy, give it to a villager to
00:23improve your friendship level, or sell it to Goofy for Star Coins.
00:27Ingredients are scattered across Dreamlight Valley, although most are exclusive to a few
00:32biomes.
00:33So you'll need to forage, harvest, and go fishing all over, or seek out Goofy's stall
00:38to buy seeds.
00:39More specialist ingredients such as milk, butter, and eggs can only be bought from the
00:44Shea's Remy restaurant.
00:46You'll also need fuel for the stove, so make sure that you're doing plenty of mining to
00:50gather up some coal too.
00:53When you're cooking, you can throw up to five different things into the pot to create a
00:56dish, but the recipe that comes out at the end might not use all of those ingredients.
01:02Recipes that do use all five ingredients are rated with five stars and tend to be very
01:07valuable and restore lots of energy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're the
01:11best dishes, particularly if those ingredients are hard to get.
01:17Keep an eye out for the recipe books too, as reading them will instantly unlock a new
01:22recipe for you to try.
01:24If you really want to get into cooking, then we'd recommend visiting the Ratatouille realm
01:29via the Dreamcastle as soon as possible.
01:31Remy will teach you lots of recipes before he even decides to come live in Dreamlike
01:36Valley.
01:37However, once you've gotten the house back in the valley, he'll then reopen the Shea's
01:41Remy restaurant, giving you access to new ingredients and new recipes.
01:46Remember to check the meal section of the collection menu to see what dishes you might
01:50be able to make while experimenting.
01:52And use the recipe and auto-fill features on the stove to save you from having to manually
01:57add ingredients every time.
02:00Stoves are capable of pulling ingredients and coal directly from storage, so you definitely
02:04don't need to have lots of food items taking up all your space in your backpack.
02:09With that in mind, here are our top 10 recipes, in no particular order.
02:13Adrenaline Pickled Herring This restores at least 2,100 energy and isn't
02:18really valuable enough to sell, so it's great to have in your inventory for long expeditions.
02:25Soufflé This is a 4-star recipe that's worth over
02:281,000 coins and restores well over 2,000 energy.
02:34Bouillabaisse The ingredients for bouillabaisse are easy
02:37to get once you've unlocked Dazzle Beach, and it restores at least 2,000 energy.
02:43Grilled Fish Entree It's easy to make, and the ingredients are
02:47easy to get from the starting plaza and peaceful meadow areas.
02:51Cook lots and sell them to Goofy for easy Disney Dreamlike Valley Star Coins.
02:56Lemon Garlic Swordfish This 3-star recipe restores over 3,500 energy.
03:03The ingredients aren't easy to get, but it's a good recipe to have ready for energy or
03:07to sell.
03:08Pan-Fried Anglerfish This is one of the most valuable dishes in
03:12the game, selling for 2,500 coins, despite being only a 4-star recipe.
03:17It does require rare ingredients and is definitely one to sell and not eat.
03:22Poached Basil Buttered Sturgeon Much like the anglerfish, this is another
03:264-star dish needing rare ingredients, but it's worth at least 2,200 coins and restores
03:32at least 4,900 energy.
03:34Fruit Salad As one of the simplest and easiest meals in
03:37Disney Dreamlike Valley, Fruit Salad is a reliable option for quick energy, especially
03:42during the early game.
03:44Caramel Apples Once you've unlocked Dazzle Beach and can
03:47grow Sugar Cane, use it with apples to create candied apples that grant even more energy
03:51than a fruit salad for only one more ingredient that's really easy to grow.
03:56Porridge with Fruits Porridge is an already simple dish requiring
03:59just wheat and milk to cook, but adding a single fruit, such as raspberry or apple,
04:05massively increases the energy that it will restore.
04:08Coming up we're going to go through a list of all the Disney Dreamlike Valley cooking
04:11recipes that we've discovered so far, along with the ingredients needed.
04:15You can view the entire assortment of 164 dishes under the Meals section of the collection
04:21menu, and you can experiment with ingredients to see what else you can create.
