There are many cooking recipes in Stardew Valley, and each meal has its own perks or uses as gifts for various villagers. It can be hard to figure🉐 out where these recipes come from, as there are a variety of different sources.
Whether you’re looking to boost your skill levels, or wanting the perfect gift for any villager, there’s always a meal you can cook that will serve the purpose. In ღtotal, there are 81 different recipes to cook, and it’s worth striving to make them all.
It’s worth noting that while can can unlock recipes at any point, you can only begin 𝄹cooking at home after you’ve upgraded the Farmhouse for the first time and therefore gained a stove. However, if you reach Foraging level 3 before this point, you can use the Cookout Kit to cook anywhere, alꦗthough you will need to craft the Cookout Kit to do this.
If you plan to do a lot of cooking, it’s worth storing your ingredients in the fridge, as items will automatically be pulle𒉰d from this storage when cooking and you won’t need to worry about making sure items are in your inventory.

How to unlock all cooking recipes in Stardew Valley
When you begin a new game in Stardew Valley, you start with just one single recipe — Fried Egg. Unsurprisingly, this is made using just a single egg, and is remarkably simple to make. If you want to increase your culinary knowledge, here’s how to unlock every other recipe in Stardew Valley.
Recipes received from villagers
One of the best ways to get new recipes in Stardew Valley is through improving your relationship with the♒ villagers, both those who can be romanced and those who cannot. As you increase your friendship level with each villager, they will send recipes to you in the mail.
While most of the villagers will only teach you two recipes each, Willy can possibly teach you four. However, his third recipe can also be learned through the Queen of Sauce and you’ll only learn it from Willy if you get him to 9 hearts before Winter 14 in Year 2, oꦍr you miss the Queen of Sauce episode that teaches the recipe.♌ He’s also the only villager who sends a recipe once you reach five hearts with him.
Evelyn still tꦿeaches the usual two, but only on🥀e of them comes through the mail, with her second recipe unlocked as part of her four heart event. Robin, Pierre, and Sandy only have one recipe each to offer.

Recipes from the Queen of Sauce
The easiest way to learn new recipes in Stardew Valley is by tuning in to the Queen of Sauce by interacting with the TV inside the farmhouse every sunday. There’s a new recipe every week for the first two years, and then the cycle starts again and recipes repeat in case you missed them the first time aroun🔯d.
This means that any recipes you miss in year one ♋can be picked up on the same day in year three, and those from year two will repeat on the same day in year four, and so forth.
Some of the Queen of Sau⛎ce recipes can also be picked up in other ways. One of them will be sent to you by Willy if you missed the show, while others can be purchased from the Stardrop Saloon. Those that can be purchased will only become available to buy after they appeared on the Queen of Sauce for the first time.
