In the game Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, players can engage in various activities such as fishing, farming, raising animals, and cooking. Cooking is considered a secondary skill that players can develop while they reside in Forgotten Valley. By catching or growing their own ingredients, they can create hearty meals. To maintain their Stamina bar, players must fulfill a combination of Energy and Hunger requirements.
Although players have the option to purchase meals from the local cafe, making their own meals is more economical. However, not all ingredients can be transformed into edible creations, making it necessary for players to learn recipes. A Wonderful Life offers a wide range of recipes, and acquiring knowledge of all of them will require a significant amount of in-game time. To expedite the process, players can refer to this comprehensive list of recipes.
How to Cook in A Wonderful Life
To cook in A Wonderful Life, players only require ingredients and either a sink or an oven. Initially, the starting farmhouse provides a specific cooking area, but upon getting married at the end of Year One, the kitchen expands with additional appliances, such as a fridge.
Cooking in the game is a straightforward mechanic. To begin cooking, players need to approach a sink or oven and choose the "Cook" option. They will then be presented with the decision to create a dish using ingredients or follow a recipe.
Opting to prepare a meal from scratch increases the possibility of a disappointing outcome. Additionally, recipes necessitate the inclusion of all essential ingredients. These ingredients must be either within the player's inventory or stored in the kitchen fridge for utilization.
How to Get Recipes in A Wonderful Life
In A Wonderful Life, there are multiple ways to acquire recipes. One option is to visit the three Nature Sprites located in the Forest by the pond. Players need to follow the path along the river until they reach a massive tree with a small door.
To gain entry into the house, players must consume one of the large red mushrooms outside, which will teleport them inside the tree house. Inside, the Nature Sprites will be present, and speaking to them will result in the revelation of one recipe per day. It should be noted that if players have not obtained a specific crop, the corresponding recipe will not be given to them.
The Bulletin Board offers an alternative method for acquiring recipes. As townsfolk request specific meals, players will automatically learn the corresponding recipe. Keep an eye out for the green pages on the board, as they indicate new requests. Additionally, players can engage in conversations with village residents, who might also provide information about various meals.
Finally, players have the opportunity to obtain recipes through exploring the various houses scattered throughout the town. Within these houses, there are potential discoveries of ingredients, notes, and books that reveal recipes. These culinary treasures can be found on walls, fridges, and tables. It should be noted that occasionally, these notes solely list the ingredients without specifying the recipe name. However, by utilizing these ingredients in a cooking attempt, players can unlock the elusive recipe name.
All Recipes in A Wonderful Life
As the years pass in A Wonderful Life, players will continually discover new recipes to unlock. However, if they are familiar with the ingredients, they can still whip up delicious meals. Once they successfully create a meal for the first time, the recipe will become a permanent addition to their culinary repertoire.
