On the Nintendo Switch, players continue to favor Animal Crossing: New Horizons as their preferred life simulation game. All players find the game to be enticing due to the sheer variety of activities and its morally upright nature. One of the many activities that gamers can enjoy is cooking. The ability to create different foods using recipes was added to the game in a free update.
How to unlock cooking in Animal Crossing: New Horizon?
After you first arrive on the island, you will need to build a basic shelter to live in. This will involve gathering materials and using them to construct a tent or a simple house. Once your shelter is built, Tom Nook will ask you to upgrade Resident Services, a building that will provide a variety of services to you as you progress through the game.
The Be a Chef! DIY Recipes+ perk, which costs 2,000 Nook Miles, should be available at this kiosk. By doing this, DIY Recipes becomes DIY Recipes+. Players will then need some kind of cooking equipment. Thanks to the new DIY Recipes, those without one can make things. Players can create the Stonework Kitchen using the one that is accessible in-game. What is required to make it is as follows:
30 x Stone
15 x Clay
10 x Iron Nugget
There's no need to panic if players can't locate the Be a Chef! DIY Recipes+ option in the kiosk. Simply said, they will need to convert the Resident Services tent to the building version in order to overcome this issue. They must finish the DIY workshop and have a 3-star island rating.
How to find recipes for cooking?
Food recipes, like those for other items, will outline all the ingredients you'll need to prepare a fresh meal. After purchasing the new DIY Recipes+, you have access to a wider range of recipes than the ones you initially have. Going straight to Nook's Cranny and grabbing the "Basic Cooking Recipes" item will get you started with a nice course of recipes to work on in the shortest amount of time.
It costs 4,980 Bells and gives you access to about eight starter recipes. The remaining recipes must be created by you using ingredients that you gather, discover in bottles on the beach, or acquire randomly from shooting down balloons. Players can also find recipes by talking to other islanders, during events and holidays or even by catching certain bugs or fish.
What are some of the ingredients used for cooking?
As was already established, ingredients are a crucial component of cooking in New Horizons; without them, you can't even prepare a basic sandwich, much less a delicious pizza. You're going to need a lot of ingredients to start your kitchen journey, whether you're wanting to add to your collection of recipes or prepare for a feast. There are a few new ingredients you might not be familiar with, but obviously different cuisines will call for different ingredients.
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are many different types of ingredients that can be used to cook different dishes. Some of the most common types of ingredients include:
Fruits: Apples, oranges, pears, cherries, peaches, and coconuts are just a few examples of fruits that can be used to cook dishes in the game.
Vegetables: Tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, and turnips are a few examples of vegetables that can be used to cook dishes in the game.
Fish: A wide variety of fish can be caught in the game, including fish like bass, salmon, and the elusive shark, that can be used to cook dishes
Bugs: A wide variety of bugs can be caught in the game, including insects like beetles, mantises, and butterflies that can be used to cook dishes
Eggs: You can get eggs from chickens that you can find wandering around your island.
Milk: Players can obtain milk from cows, once you have built a barn, you can place a cow inside and milk it using a milker.
Rice: Rice can be obtained by hitting a rice plant with a shovel and it can be used to cook dishes.
FAQs

Q. Do I need a stove to cook in Animal Crossing?
A. In New Horizons, cooking functions similarly to building furniture, although a stove is required in place of a homemade workstation. This stove is all you need to begin cooking, indoors or outdoors.
