Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life features activities like fishing, farming, raising animals, and cooking. Cooking is a secondary skill players can pick up while they spend their days in Forgotten Valley. They can catch or grow their ingredients to make hearty meals. Players must maintain their Stamina bar by fulfilling a mixture of Energy and Hunger.

While they can buy meals from the local cafe, making their meals is much more cost-efficient. However, not just anything can be cooked into an edible creation, so learning recipes is necessary. There are quite a few recipes in A Wonderful Life, and learning all of them will take serious in-game hours, but players can use this complete list to get recipes quickly.

How to Cook in A Wonderful Life

A Wonderful Life

All players need to cook are ingredients and a sink or an oven. Their starting farmhouse has a designated cooking area, but after getting married at the end of Year One, the kitchen is expanded to include more appliances, including a fridge.

Cooking is a simple mechanic in A Wonderful Life. To cook, players must approach a sink or oven and select "Cook" Then they will get the choice to make something from ingredients or follow a recipe.

A Wonderful Life

If they choose to make from ingredients, there is a chance the meal will turn out bad. Furthermore, recipes can only be completed with all the required ingredients. Ingredients must either be in the player's inventory or in the kitchen fridge to be used.

How to Get Recipes in A Wonderful Life

A Wonderful Life

There are several ways to get recipes in A Wonderful Life. One method is to visit the three Nature Sprites in the Forest near the pond. Players should go to the end of the path along the river, where they'll see a giant tree with a tiny door.

To enter the house, players must eat one of the large red mushrooms outside to teleport them inside the tree house. The Nature Sprites will be standing inside and, if spoken to, will reveal one recipe a day. However, if players have not obtained a particular crop, they will not give them a corresponding recipe.

A Wonderful Life

Another way to learn recipes is the Bulletin Board. Players will automatically learn the recipe whenever the townsfolk requests a certain meal. Green pages on the board mean there's a new request. Players can also talk to the village residents, and they may tell them about a meal.

Finally, players can get recipes by exploring the houses around the town. There may be notes and books containing recipes on the walls, fridges, and tables. Sometimes these notes only have ingredients and no recipe name, but players can cook the ingredients to unlock the name.
