How to Unlock Cooking in ACNH? (Guide)

You won’t be able to use your normal workbench to get cooking. You will require a special cooking platform to cook food items and here’s how to make it happen.

  • Purchase the DIY Recipes+ book from the Nook Stop (in Resident services) by spending 2000 Nook Miles.

  • Once you do that, you will get a DIY recipe to build a Stonework Kitchen.

How to Get a Kitchen in ACNH?

  • After unlocking the DIY recipe for Stonework Kitchen, you need to start hunting for the materials. They are 30 Stone, 15 Clay and 10 Iron Nuggets.
  • When you have the required amount, go to your workbench and craft a Stonework Kitchen.
  • Head into your house and place the Kitchen set in your desired location.
  • Interact with it and select “Let’s Cook!”
  • Choose the savory or sweet food item that you want to prepare and use the materials required if they are already in your inventory.

How to Get More Cooking Recipes

  • Wait until you get on from a floating gift carried by a balloon. Use your Slingshot to shoot it down but make sure to do it only when it’s floating over land. If it falls in the water, it’s gone!
  • Purchase the Basic Cooking Recipes item from the Nook’s Cranny – it will cost you 4,980 Bells.
  • Check the ‘message in a bottle’ that washes up on your beach.

This is everything you need to know to get started with cooking in ACNH and using the different DIY recipes and ingredients. While you are here, make sure to check out our ACNH Guides for more tips & tricks like this.
