Cooking and Recipes

This section is long overdo. Between Two emails and the work my brothers and I did, we have all the recipes already composite. I just thought the other sections were more important to get into the guide first. A special thanks goes out to starcat19689 and hmwizard14 for their help with this section. Using the information they sent me and cooking a little myself, I have been able to compile all of the game's recipes. They sent me most of the simple ones. The harder ones such as elli leaves are the same as they were in mineral town as are some of the other recipes. Thanks a lot to both of you for all your hard work with out you this section wouldn't be possible.

Cooking:

Harvest Moon DS continues the proud tradition of cooking in a long line of harvest moon games. Cooking food provides you with several more options for using crops and the products you gather from your animals and in the wild. It will allow you to recover more stamina and fatigue than eating the items in their raw form. Cooking items can also be used as gifts to increase the valley's people's affection and friendship ratings better than the items alone. Finally, it can serve as an additional source of income. Shipping cooked food will provide you with hire profits than the raw ingredients as well. If you want to ship cooked food, you need to put it in the basket and then dump the basket into the shipping box. You cannot place cooked food directly into the shipping box.

You need several things before you can begin cooking. First, you need to buy the kitchen and the utensils. You can purchase the kitchen from the TV shopping network after you buy the first house upgrade. Once, you have the kitchen, the utensils will also become available for purchase. Their are five cooking utensils in all; the frying pan, the oven, the steamer, the pot, the mixer, and you can cook without a utensil. The kitchen costs 4000g and the utensils cost between 1500g and 2500g. The process of cooking is very similar to the process in mineral town.

In order to cook a dish, first you need to select a utensil or no utensils in some cases. They you select up to 8 ingredients either from your runk sack or the refrigerator. The game will then allow you to prepare the recipe. If you combination is successful, the game will save the recipe for future use. You can look up the recipes by their utensils by selecting the "look up a recipe" option where they are sorted by cooking implement. If you try a combination that is not a recipe the game will yield one of six failed dishes. While these seem worthless mistakes, they are used in several of the recipes so save them in the fridge for future use. The type you get depends on the food and utensil used for the attempt.

I have a complete list of the recipes gathered below. Note, most of these came from the two emails from starcat19689 and hmwizard14 I only had to find about a dozen or so of them on my own. Thanks again guys. Note, I am only listing the default ingredients to each recipe. You can add other things than just what is listed here. Experiment and you will find other combinations that work just as well. For example, you can substitute one type of vegetable or fruit for the ones listed below. The recipes are in order by utensil.
