Cooking (HMDS)

From Harvest Moon - Wiki on Neoseeker

Cooking is definitely one of the fun and most helpful aspects of Harvest Moon DS. This skill can be used for restoring energy, completing your shipping list, courting girls, or just for plain fun! However, before you can cook you need to acquire a kitchen along with certain cooking tools.

Before you can order a kitchen, you must have your house upgraded to the second level. After that, you will be able to buy a kitchen from TV Shopping! It may not appear right away, just keep watching TV Shopping (Channel 2) until the kitchen appears, then order it from your phone!

Once you have the actual kitchen, you may find that you really can't cook much. Except for the recipes that require no tools. To start getting the tools that allow you to cook a larger range of food, you have to, once again, buy them from TV Shopping. They will come on one at a time on the shopping channel in no particular order. Here's a list: Pot, Frying Pan, Oven, Mixer, and Steamer.

When you've finally collected all of the tools, you're completely ready to start cooking. You can select up to eight ingredients for a recipe, including crops, grasses, farm products, and much more. Learn new recipes by experimenting or following the actual recipe list, which will be completed on the Wiki shortly.

           Spinach
           Carrot 
           Green Pepper
           Onion

Best Vegetable Juice: (+45 Stamina -35 Fatigue)

Best Vegetable Latte: (+50 Stamina -33 Fatigue)

           Carrot 
           Cucumber
           Cabbage

           Green Pepper
           Spinach
           Milk

(If you use a Turnip instead of an Onion, Stamina will be the same but FR will be -32. Thus, an Onion is slightly more effective against Fatigue than a Turnip, which makes sense, given the acidity of the Onion.)

N.B. Players familiar with FoMT and MFoMT will recall that a Vegetable Latte could be made from a Vegetable Juice and Milk. In this game, that will not work. You must use the raw vegetables and milk to create a Vegetable Latte.
