Cooking Recipes (BTN)

This page lists all of the Cooking Recipes in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl, and Bokujō Monogatari: Harvest Moon for Girl.

Cooking is mainly used to create gifts for all the townsfolk, in order to raise their level of affection toward the player. It can also be used to make food for the purpose of Stamina recovery. Food created through Cooking cannot be sold. There is a total of 65 cooking recipes, but the Moon Dumpling recipe is only available if playing as a Girl character.

Getting Started
The cooking menu is accessed from the kitchen in the player's house. The kitchen becomes available with the first house upgrade. Owning a kitchen is also the prerequisite for the TV Shopping Network to sell various kitchen utensils every weekend. To order these items, use the telephone at the Inn.

Many cooking recipes can be obtained from the townsfolk (usually after giving them just one or two gifts). Some recipes can be found while mining and fishing (these recipes are not automatically added to the available recipes in the cooking interface).

Most recipes allow for optional ingredients that, when added, will boost the Stamina recovery value.
