Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes are crucial to success in the life sim as you’ll need to cook up some tasty grub to earn Dreamlight, make friends, and keep your stamina up. With over 170 recipes to discover since new festive recipes were added back in December 2022, it can be hard to keep on top of them all. Luckily, we’re here to help you decipher the best meals on the menu.

The way to the hearts of all the Dreamlight Valley characters can be found through their stomachs, but it’s equally important to keep yourself well-fed, too. Some Dreamlight Valley recipes – like the bouillabaisse recipe – offer more stamina than others, and while some can be obtained from completing quests, such as Remy’s ratatouille recipe and Minnie’s picnic favourites: crudites and fish sandwiches, others are unlocked by trying different ingredients together. To make it easier to get the most nutritious meals, we’ve compiled them all below, with five-star recipes offering the most energy.
