Here is how cooking works in Disney Dreamlight Valley along with the game's many recipes. By Billy Givens , James Carr , Mark Delaney , and Veerender Singh Jubbal on November 19, 2025 at 7:42AM PST Growing crops and foraging for food are some of the many things you'll need to do to succeed in Disney Dreamlight Valley, as cooking is an important part of the gameplay loop. Gathering a variety of different ingredients and whipping up some yummy meals will ensure that you keep your energy levels up. Additionally, you may need to put your culinary skills to work to finish quests for various characters around your valley to improve your friendship with them. Though you can learn some of the game's cooking recipes by reading recipe books obtained during quests, most of your knowledge will come from simply tossing things in a pot and hoping for the best. If you combine the correct ingredients while cooking, you'll create a new dish and unlock that recipe in your collection. Of course, not everyone's looking to use their precious ingredients on trial-and-error cooking. With that in mind, we've compiled the full list of every recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley and its multiple expansions.

You may even be surprised to hear that higher-star meals don't always equate to the highest gains in energy. Here are the meals that provide the most energy, but check below the list for our pick for the meal that offers the most efficient use of time and ingredients. With the absolute highest energy meals out of the way, our pick for the most efficient use of your time and ingredients is Berry Salad. This simple 3-star meal can fill nearly 80% of your gold energy (and even more if you add extra berries when making it). Combine the relatively high energy replenishment with the fact that these three required berries are such a cinch to forage, and you've got yourself a quick meal choice to keep on hand for filling your energy. We have dozens of Dreamlight Valley guides to help you every step of the way. Find them all in our Dreamlight Valley guides hub.
