We’ve added the three new recipes which have been added in the Wonderland Whimsy update: one new appetiser (Tea Sandwiches) and two new desserts (Garlic Chocolate Tart and Cheshire Cat Tail).
Disney Dreamlight Valleyrecipesare one of the most confusing parts of the game. OurDisney Dreamlight Valley recipe listcan take the guesswork out of creating dishes, and even includes recipes from the Rift of Time expansion (Eternity Isle) and the Storybook Vale expansion.
Early on, you’re given clear instructions on how to cook a specific dish. Later on, though, you have to either find the recipe itself, or do some trial and error with ingredients in an effort to clear Dreamlight Duties and Event Duties.
Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes list – Every Appetizer, Entrée, and Dessert
Note: when a recipe includes any of the following ingredients, it means you may add any ingredient that falls into that category:
For example, if a recipe calls for ‘fish, vegetable, vegetable’, you could make that dish in a variety of ways, such as ‘bass, carrot, cucumber’ or ‘cod, onion, onion’.
At the bottom of this guide is a list of every ingredient in the game and each category they come under, because it’s not the same as the categories in the Collection’s ‘Ingredients’ page.

Disney Dreamlight Valley cooking ingredient categories
As you’ve seen above, some of the recipes ask for general categories of ingredient, like ‘sweet’ or ‘spice’.
If you’re not at a cooking pot and you’re trying to plan ahead what ingredients you need, this can be a bit confusing, because the ingredient categories listed in the Collection screen when you pause the game are different from the categories when you’re cooking.
Here’s the full list of all nine cooking categories and the ingredients that fall under each one. If you see a category listed in any of the recipes above, you’re able to use any of the ingredients in that category, as listed below.

Disney Dreamlight Valley 5-star recipes
Some missions and tasks in Disney Dreamlight Valley will ask you to make 5-star recipes. It can be a bit of a pain going through the game’s recipe book trying to find which recipes are 5-star ones.
Here, then, is a complete list of just the 5-star recipes from the above list, so you may check your ingredients and see which ones you’re able to make with the least hassle.
How do I cook in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
To cook in Dreamlight Valley, you need to gather ingredients and find a stove. There are several methods of gathering your ingredients, including:
If there’s a specific ingredient you’re looking for, go to the Collection screen and choose the Ingredients tab. There you’ll find every ingredient in the game, and by selecting one you’ll see where you may find or buy it.
Once you’ve got the ingredients you need, find a stove – either the one in your own house or the one in Chez Remy – and use it. You’ll be able to drop up to five ingredients into the stove, and can then choose Start Cooking to make the meal.
You also need Coal Ore every time you use the stove, but this can easily be found anywhere in the game, usually by digging.
Also, here’s a tip: you don’t need to have an ingredient in your inventory to use it when cooking. If you have ingredients stored in a chest, they’ll all be available to you when you use the stove.
What are 3, 4 and 5-star Disney Dreamlight Valley recipes?
Sometimes the game will specifically ask you to make a three-star, four-star or five-star meal.
At first, you may not know what this means, especially when you’re using this guide to try new recipes for the first time.
In reality, it’s actually quite easy to work out how many stars a new recipe is worth: it depends on how many ingredients it uses.
So if, for example, you look at Gazpacho, the recipe to make that is cucumber, tomato, onion, spice. Because it uses four ingredients, that’s going to be a 4-star meal.
The five-star meals, then, are the ones which consist of five ingredients. you may’t take, say, a 3-star recipe and add two more random ingredients to it to make it a 5-star one. Though it will make the meal worth more.
How do I get coffee beans in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
While all the other ingredients in Dreamlight Valley are easy enough to find – either by buying them from Goofy, buying them from Remy’s cafe (once it’s opened) and harvesting them – coffee beans require a longer process.
First you have to unlock Stitch. You do this by following these steps:
Once Stitch has become a villager in Dreamlight Valley, you can then start taking on his quests. When you reach his level 4 quest you’ll have to plant a coffee tree – once this is done you’ll finally get access to coffee beans.
So far there are only three recipes that use coffee beans – coffee, latte and mocha. you’re able to find their recipes below.
How do I get Dreamlight Fruit in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The game’s April 2023 update added five new recipes that use a unique ingredient called Dreamlight Fruit.
These recipes, which are in the main list below, are Dream Fizz, Marvelous Jam, Sweet Udon, Dream Ice Cream and Whimsical Pie.
The game doesn’t tell you how to get Dreamlight Fruit, however, so you may be wondering what it is and how to find it.
The only way to get Dreamlight Fruit is to add Simba to your village. You do this by going to the Lion King realm, performing Nala’s mission, adding her to your village, then going back to the Lion King realm and doing Simba’s mission.
Once Simba is in your village you can start taking on his friendship quests. Once he reaches Friendship level 7, you’ll do a quest called Seed of Memories, which has you planting a Dreamlight Tree.
Once this grows (it takes about three days) you’ll be able to pick Dreamlight Fruit from the tree like you would pick other fruits like apples or bananas.
Once Simba hits Friendship level 10 you’ll also get his final quest, The Dreamlight Grove, in which you’ll get to plant another three Dreamlight Trees. Before long you’ll be swimming in Dreamlight Fruit!
