There are quite a few Recipes that are available from the start. After you cook a few times, you can get an inspiration for a new recipe.Ĭhoose 'Cook from Recipe' to explore your Recipe Book: If the customisation is successful, you can revise the recipe.
However, you can customise by adding more ingredients to the original recipe. When a dish is a success, you can write down the recipe. However, it might not turn out well if the mix is bad.Ĭook from recipe automatically picks the ingredients for you. Cook without recipe allows you to freely choose what ingredients to cook with. When you first stand at the Kitchen and press the A Button, you will be given instructions: He did not find Potato Seeds for sale again at the shop that Spring and was unable to take advantage of the Cabbage Seeds as he would have been able to do had he unlocked them at the start of the Spring Season. Cabbage Seeds take longer to mature than Potatoes or Turnips. When he returned to Gombe's Seed Shop, he found that Cabbage Seed was being sold instead of Potato Seeds. Receiving a Crop Seed as a Prize is a way to unlock that variety of Seed early in the game, but this can be a two-edged sword.įor example, Freyr was given Cabbage Seeds as a prize for participating in the Cooking Festival in the middle of the first Spring. The Prize in either case can be an Ingredient, Processed Item or a Crop Seed. You will be given a Prize if you win the Cooking Festival but you will be given a Prize simply for participation in it. In other words, the Friendship Level always increases when you participate in a Cooking Festival but it will be given an extra boost if your Village wins. If your Village loses, the Friendship Level will increase a little less than 1/2 Heart. If your Village wins the Cooking Festival, the Friendship Level may increase a little more than 1/2 Heart. It is not a significant difference in any case.Īfter this Contest, you will be given a Pot and will be able to make quite a few Dishes without much trouble.Įach time you attend a Cooking Contest, the Harvest Goddess will appear afterwards with a progress report as to the Friendship Level between the two Mayors.
If your Team wins, the increase will be slightly greater than it will be if your Team loses. The biggest difference between a Win and a Loss is with respect to the increase in the Friendship Level between the two Mayors. If, however, the other Team's Dishes are of superior Quality, it will be far more difficult for your Team to win early in the game. In other words, if the Dishes that the other Team enters are of low Quality, your Team can win with a mediocre Dish. The result appears to be random to some extent, unless your own Dish is of the most superior Quality as the other Team's entries are chosen randomly. A Player living in either Village will be given Ingredients by the Mayor and assigned a specific Dish for the first Cooking Festival that is held on 7 Spring. The Harvest Goddess will not allow the Tunnel that once connected the two Villages to be unblocked until the residents of Bluebell and Konohana and especially their Mayors can live in harmony.Ĭooking Festivals occur a couple of times each Season and each will have a Theme that is marked on your Calendar. Both Bluebell Town and Konohana Town attend the Cooking Festivals that occur on the Mountaintop and the participation and interactions of the Mayors at these Festivals will allow them to increase their Friendship. Your Character therefore can make and ship 9 Turnip Salads immediately if he/she so chooses.Ī Player who has chosen Bluebell Village as his/her primary residence will have access to Milk and Eggs immediately after Rutger completes the Animal Care Request Tutorial but the simple Recipes that require no more than an Egg or a portion of Milk DO require a Pot.Ĭooking Festivals are far more frequent in Tale of Two Towns than in any other Harvest Moon game and in fact, the first major task assigned to you by the Harvest Goddess is linked to the Cooking Festivals. Turnip Salad, a Recipe that is included with the Kitchen requires nothing more than a single Turnip to complete. In this respect, a Player who has chosen Konohana Village as his/her first residence will have a very slight advantage in that nine ripe Turnips can be harvested directly after Ina completes her Crop Request tutorial on the first real day of gameplay. Your Character begins the game with a basic Kitchen and can create 'No Utensils' Recipes from the start, provided he/she has the necessary ingredients.
