What would you call an anime-infused, RPG game that also has a hint of Farming Simulator? Yeap, that’s right. We will call it Harvestella. Harvestella is the newest addition to Square Enix family and we are here for it.
Harvestella has lots to offer and one of the things that it features is Cooking. Like every other RPG game, you will, at some point have to replenish your energy and this is where cooking will come in. This guide will discuss everything about cooking in Harvestella.
Cooking in Harvestella
Cooking is one the most important skill in Harvestella since the number of tasks you can perform in a day depends on your energy level. If your energy is depleted and you don’t have a way by which you can replenish your energy then you are doomed because you will be rendered useless.
There are several ways by which you can get food. The first one is that you can eat raw vegetables that you grow on your farm. The second one is that you can buy pre-cooked meals from the general store. The third is that you wait for chez to send you a sandwich which happens periodically.
All of these methods are fine, they work but they are not very efficient and they are not cost-effective as well. The best way to refill your energy bar is by eating meals that you cook yourself in the kitchen.
So rather than spending money on pre-cooked meals, be an adult, buy groceries and cook your own food.
How to Unlock Cooking in Harvestella
Now that we have established the fact that cooking is the best way to top up your energy meter, let’s get into how we can unlock cooking in Harvestella.
Cooking is not unlocked by default and we have to take a few extra steps to unlock cooking. This is how you can unlock Cooking.
- Your kitchen needs some work done so for that, head to the “Renovator” (shop with hammer sign) in the southwest region of Lethe Village. Enter the village and take a hard left. It will be the leftmost building.
- Once you are inside, talk to the renovator and buy the Kitchen Counter Renovation for 2000 Grilla.
It will take 1 day for the renovation to be completed and once they are complete, the renovator will explain to you everything about how you can cook. He will also give you a “Mountain Stir Fry” recipe to start with.
All Recipies in Harvestella
Recipes are an essential part of cooking in Harvestella since you cannot cook without a recipe so it is necessary to get recipes if you want to start cooking.
A recipe will be used to cook the food. All the ingredients and the quantity that you need will be listed inside the recipe. To cook, just go to your kitchen, select the recipe, and if you have all the necessary ingredients you can cook the dish.
There are a few ways by which you can get recipes. The first one is by completing challenges and missions. Some challenges will reward you in form of recipes.
The second way by which you can get recipes is by going to the General Store and buying the recipe books. There are three recipe books that you can buy.
- Homely Lethe Recipes
- Selected Recipes
- Lethe Dessert Recipes
All three books will have different recipes that you can cook and eat. Below we have given all the recipes in Harvestella.
