Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Remake Cooking Guide – Recipes, Cooking Levels & Storage

Cooking up tasty meals in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life isn’t as easy as it might look when first getting started. Despite having a kitchen in the house right from the start, players won’t know any recipes, and will be limited to just a few meal types to experiment with. Unfortunately, cooking is a needed mechanic, as players have a hunger meter they need to keep an eye on, and they’ll need to boost their energy to finish all the tasks around the farm.

** This guide it still in progress and will continue to update as we gather more information**

Below is everything A Wonderful Life farmers need to know about where to cook, how to level up meal types, find recipes, and make high quality snacks.

To get cooking, players will need to interact with the kitchen in their personal home. Kitchens in other homes will not be useable for any personal cooking projects.

Additionally, when getting started, farmers can only experiment with Soups and Salads. The Hors d’oeuvres, Desserts, and Entrees will become available as the cooking skill is leveled up. Unfortunately, this skill bar is not visible anywhere. Because of this, it is best to cook large quantities of easy recipes like Egg Soup or Herb Soup.

How to Find Recipes in SoS: A Wonderful Life

While the recipe book starts out empty in A Wonderful Life, players have plenty of ways to full it up quickly. This includes finding, inventing, and being gifted recipes.

The easiest way to get started cooking is actually to explore the town of Forgotten Valley. Players will find recipe cards scattered around NPC houses, stuck to outdoor decorations, and even hidden inside potted plants. These recipes can range in difficulty however, and if you aren’t a high enough cooking level, they will appear as “???” in the recipe book.

Another reliable way to get recipes is by visiting the sprite tree by the spring daily. Eat the mushroom in the middle of the patch, and then speak with Ace. Each day, he will gift a random recipe to add to the collection.

A Wonderful Life players can also take a risk and randomly mix ingredients together to unlock recipes. However, I would have to advise against this due to how easy it is to mess up and make a burnt mess of ingredients, and how valuable each crop used will eventually be for creating Hybrids. Many of the recipes also require hybrid crops, making early-game cooking attempts risky business.

How to Get Lou’s Curry Spice in SoS: A Wonderful Life

There are many exciting recipes for players to cook up in A Wonderful Life, and some of them require ingredients that can’t be grown, picked, or bought from a store. To get Lou’s Spice, for example, players must be best friend’s with Lou and receive it as a gift.

Lou loves most types of fruit, making her an easy NPC to grow a friendship with. Because of this, players can usually obtain Lou’s Spice by the end of Year 1 or early in Year 2 if they work hard at befriending her.

Players will need Lou’s Spice for all curry recipes.
