Cooking Festival (DS)

The Cooking Festival in Harvest Moon: DS and Harvest Moon DS: Cute occurs on Spring 22 each year. This festival is similar to the FoMT/MFoMT Cooking Festival, but takes place on the Beach and Gourmet gives you what utensil to use instead of a dish theme.

In order to participate, you must own a Kitchen and the various utensils that you order though the TV Shopping Channel.

On the day of the Cooking Festival, visit the Beach between 10am and 12pm to talk to Gourmet. He will announce what utensil your dish should be made with. Upon leaving the Beach, you will be in your house with the clock set to 12pm. You must return to the Beach between 12pm and 6pm with your dish to start the contest. Gourmet will then judge your and the other participant's dishes. At the end of the festival and once you leave the Beach, you will be back in your home at 6pm.
