ACNH 2.0: Cooking
From this guide page for Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 you will learn all about cooking, the kitchen and recipes.
On this page of the guide to Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 you will find the most important information about cooking - how to unlock it, where to get recipes, where to get the kitchen and what gives food.
General information
You can unlock cooking by downloading the Be a Chef app! DIY Recipes+ from the Nook Stop at Tom Nook. It costs 2,000 Nook Miles. After downloading it on your phone, you can pretty much start cooking right away; you will also get some basic recipes for meals and for building a kitchen.
Meals work like fruit and mushrooms, but multiplied - by eating them, you gain a lot of stamina at once.
Can't find wheat? You will find the answer on a separate page of our guide: Where to get wheat?.
Where to get the kitchen and how to cook?
The kitchen is simply a gas or electric stove, or other equipment on which you can cook food. Here's how to get a kitchen:
- You'll buy it at Nook Cranny if it's available - you may already own it.
You haven't been able to buy it yet? It's okay. Take a walk through your neighbors' houses. If they're home, you can go inside. Some of them surely have a kitchen with a stove in it.
- Along with the Be a Chef! app you'll get the recipe for Stonework Kitchen. Its cost is 30 stones, 15 clay and 10 iron nuggets. Don't confuse it with brick oven - this oven is only decorative and you won't cook anything on it.
How to cook?
Just go to the kitchen and press A - select Let's cook!, and the cooking menu will appear on the screen along with all unlocked recipes. Cooking works the same way as crafting.
Where do I get the recipes?
You'll get the meal recipes when you unlock the app called Be a Chef! DIY Recipes+, but there aren't that may of them. Here are other ways to unlock more recipes:
- you can buy a pack of Basic Cooking Recipes in Nook Cranny for 4980 Bells;
- after catching some types of fish you will be informed about unlocking a new recipe;
- they can be found in a bottle washed ashore;
- you can also get them after shooting down a balloon;
- if you're visiting your neighbor and they are cooking, talk to them and they'll share the recipe with you.
