How to cook in Animal Crossing New Horizons
To cook in ACNH, you’ll need to unlock DIY Recipes+. You can head on over to the Resident Services building and go to the Redeem Nook Miles part of the Nook Stop terminal. Pick up the DIY Recipes+ upgrade to unlock the ability to cook and pick up some basic recipes.
You’ll need some ingredients to get started, many of which can be grown from the five new crops. Refer to our guide on how to farm crops in ACNH if you need some help getting started with that. The gist is that you’ll need to pick up some seeds and starts from Leif and plant them on your island. However, some recipes will require foraged ingredients like mushrooms or specific fish like Sea Bass, Mackerel, or Red Snapper.
With your ingredients handy, head on over to your house, go to an existing stove or build the new DIY Stonework Kitchen. Interact with it and choose the Let’s Cook option to get started. You can browse your recipes through the menu and make something. After making a recipe, the item will show up in your inventory, allowing you to show it off, eat or drink it for energy, place the item, or put it in storage. Different recipes award you with varying amounts of energy.
