Nintendo’s Animal Crossing series has become a beloved favorite amongst gamers due to its charming characters and calming gameplay. The cooking system added in the latest installment of the game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, is no exception.

Cooking Recipes
Cooking in New Horizons is easy to get the hang of. Players start off with just a few recipes like fruit smoothies, popcorn, and grilled fish. As they progress through the game, they can unlock new recipes from special villagers or learn them from Timmy and Tommy at Nook’s Cranny. Recipes range from basic dishes like fruit salad or egg tart to more complicated concoctions like curry rice or ramen. There are over 100 recipes in total, ensuring that players have plenty of options when it comes time to feed their island population.
Gathering Ingredients
Ingredients are required for each recipe, but luckily they are not too difficult to come by.

Other ingredients may require you to go scavenging around nearby islands or purchase them from Nook’s Cranny depending on what you need. You can even find some rare ingredients like truffles if you do some extra digging.
