Each Cooking Level grants access to additional kitchen functions, ingredients, and recipes. Raising your Cooking Level unlocks new ways to interact in the kitchen and expands what you can prepare:

  • Level 1: Lets you cook by yourself, cook with him, and purchase basic ingredients.
  • Level 2: Unlocks new ingredients like tomato, cucumber, pork, and yeast, as well as new recipes.
  • Level 3: Allows him to cook by himself, adds more ingredients and recipes, and unlocks new spice seeds.

Higher Cooking Levels (up to 15 are shown in menus) provide even more options and rewards as you progress.

Cooking Notes, Ingredients, and Spices

A game collection menu shows several category cards, including Cooking Notes and a Cooking Ingredients button along the bottom right.
