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.
00:27 Ingredients are scattered across Dreamlight Valley, although most are exclusive to a few biomes,
00:33 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
01:06 and tend to be very valuable and restore lots of energy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that
01:11 they're the best dishes, particularly if those ingredients are hard to get. Keep an eye out for
01:18 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
01:29 via the Dreamcastle as soon as possible. Remy will teach you lots of recipes before he even decides
01:34 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
01:45 recipes. Remember to check the meal section of the collection menu to see what dishes you might be
01:50 able to make while experimenting, and use the recipe and auto-fill features on the stove to
01:56 save you from having to manually add ingredients every time. Stoves are capable of pulling
02:01 ingredients and coal directly from storage, so you definitely don't need to have lots of food
02:05 items taking up all your space in your backpack. With that in mind, here are our top 10 recipes,
02:11 in no particular order. Adrenaline Pickled Herring
02:15 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 Soufflé This is a 4-star recipe that's worth
02:28 over 1000 coins, and restores well over 2000 energy.
02:32 Bouillabaisse The ingredients for bouillabaisse are easy
02:37 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, this is another
03:26 4-star dish, needing rare ingredients, but it's worth at least 2200 coins, and restores at least
03:32 4900 energy. Fruit Salad
03:35 As one of the simplest and easiest meals in Disney Dreamlike Valley, Fruit Salad is a reliable
03:40 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,
04:05 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
04:11 recipes that we've discovered so far, along with the ingredients needed.
04:15 You can view the entire assortment of 164 dishes under the meals section of the collection menu,
04:22 and you can experiment with ingredients to see what else you can create.
