This index follows the maintained Stardew Valley Wiki cooking table checked on September 13, 2026. Ingredient quantities, unlock sources and base stats are listed separately so a missing recipe is not confused with a missing ingredient.

Unlock cooking before collecting ingredients
The first farmhouse upgrade adds a kitchen, stove and 36-slot refrigerator. The stove reads ingredients from your inventory, refrigerator and connected Mini-Fridges; an ingredient sitting in an ordinary chest will not appear as available.
A Cookout Kit is the portable alternative after Foraging level 3. It lets you cook outside, but it does not teach recipes or bypass missing ingredients.
- Black silhouette: the recipe has not been learned.
- Grey recipe icon: learned, but one or more ingredients are missing.
- Fully lit icon: learned and every required ingredient is accessible to the cooking interface.
Diagnose the unlock source before farming the ingredient
The Queen of Sauce airs scheduled recipes, villagers send others after specific friendship levels, skills unlock a smaller set, and several Ginger Island recipes come from trades, shops or friendship with Leo. Buying or growing ingredients does not unlock the recipe itself.
The Queen of Sauce Cookbook teaches every recipe associated with the television program, including missed broadcasts. It does not teach friendship, skill, shop or island recipes, so use the source column rather than assuming the cookbook completes the collection.
Plan buffs as one food plus one drink
Only one food buff can be active at a time. Eating another buffed food replaces the existing food buff, while a food with no buff does not erase it. Drink buffs are separate, so Coffee, Triple Shot Espresso, Green Tea or Ginger Ale can run beside one food buff.
Qi Seasoning automatically improves a cooked dish when available, but completion only requires cooking each recipe. Do not spend rare seasoning merely to fill the collection unless you also want the improved meal.
Use the collection counter, not the shipping bin
Cooking achievements count distinct recipes cooked: Cook requires 10, Sous Chef requires 25 and Gourmet Chef requires every recipe. Selling, receiving or purchasing a finished dish does not prove that you cooked it.
Work by unlock source: clear television recipes, then friendship mail, skill recipes and island purchases. This exposes the actual blocker faster than collecting every possible ingredient at once.
