Cooking guide for Gourmet Chef

There are 81 recipes to cook, and each one counts once you've made it. Cooking all of them earns Gourmet Chef and 10% of Perfection.

You need the kitchen from the first house upgrade before you can cook. After that, recipes come from four places: leveling skills, villagers' letters once you're friends, the Queen of Sauce TV show (32 recipes, on Sundays, with a repeat on Wednesdays) and a few shops and events.

The Queen of Sauce recipes are the ones people miss. Watch every Sunday, and use the Today page to see which recipe is on.

Do you have to cook each recipe or just learn it?

Cook it. Learning a recipe isn't enough for Gourmet Chef or Perfection: each dish has to be cooked at least once.

How do you get missed Queen of Sauce recipes?

Wednesday reruns show recipes that have already aired, but which one is random, so it can take a long time. Catch them on Sundays if you can.
