Local animal-lover and rancher Marnie is a great friend to have in Stardew Valley. Here's how players can win her over.

How To Unlock And Get The Queen of Sauce Cookbook

Before you can purchase the Queen of Sauce Cookbook, you must first unlock it by finding at least 100 Golden Walnuts in Ginger Island. Here’s a quick rundown of everything you need to do to unlock the Queen of Sauce Cookbook:

  1. Complete the Main Questline: Finish either the Community Center restoration or the Joja Community Development path.
  2. Repair Willy's Boat: Restore Willy's boat to access Ginger Island.
  3. Explore Ginger Island: Once you can travel to Ginger Island, begin exploring.
  4. Collect 100 Golden Walnut : Gather 100 Golden Walnuts throughout Ginger Island. These can be found in various locations, such as treasure chests, completing quests, and fishing.

Since this isn’t an easy task, the Queen of Sauce Cookbook becomes available only after reaching the late-game stages. However, once you collect 100 Golden Walnuts, the cookbook will always be purchasable from the Bookseller in Stardew Valley.

How To Get and Use The Queen of Sauce Cookbook

The Queen Of Sauce Cookbook is exclusively available for purchase from the Bookseller, who charges a hefty 50,000g for it. You can find the Bookseller in a raised clearing north of Joja Mart. The Bookseller makes two visits to town each season, and their arrival is always indicated on the calendar by a hot air balloon icon.

You’ll also receive a notification upon waking up informing you that the Bookseller is in town.

Once you purchase the Queen of Sauce Cookbook, you can read it like other skill books in Stardew Valley. Reading the cookbook grants you all the recipes you haven't yet learned from the "Queen of Sauce" TV show. If you haven’t watched all the episodes of the show, the Cookbook is a great way to quickly learn all the recipes you might have missed.
