How to Unlock More Recipes

Host Meals and Build Friendships

  • Villagers send flavor requests (sweet, sour, spicy) before meals. Matching these boosts friendships and may reward recipes.
  • After leveling up friendships, speak to villagers directly—they often gift recipes, though sometimes offer furniture instead.

Mail Deliveries

  • Successful meals may result in recipes arriving by mail the next day. Meeting flavor preferences increases the odds.

Complete Story Quests

  • Key recipes like the Bywater Dish unlock via main quests. These often use rare ingredients (meat, cream, butter) requiring trade or purchase.
