Cooking in Stardew Valley
The game’s cooking system is a mechanic that we have to unlock. And the only way to get it is by upgrading the Cottage for the first time . This way, we’ll get an oven and a fridge . The former will allow us to prepare recipes, while the fridge will be like a chest to store the ingredients we’ll use in those recipes (with 36 slots). Without fail, to use an ingredient, it must be in the fridge.
On the other hand, it is possible to get a portable cooking kit (with Gathering level 9). However, the type of cooking will not matter when determining what you can cook. In fact, you will not be able to cook a recipe if you have not learned it beforehand.
