Cooking Guide

A guide to cooking in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town.

How to Cook

To unlock the cooking skill, you need to upgrade to the log cabin. You can also go into houses and shops and use the kitchens there to cook.

Food Effects

Eating certain types of food grants certain effects. Below is the list of these effects.

  • Salad: Temporary stamina increase
  • Soup: Temporary decrease to stamina consumption
  • Entrée: Temporarily makes you full (unable to eat more salad/soup/entrées)
  • Dessert: Can eat dessert even if you are full

Meal Quality

When you make a meal, it will have a star rating. You can improve the rating by using higher-quality ingredients, and adding high-quality toppings (unlocked at cooking level 7). Your meal qualities also improve as you increase your cooking skill level.

Gourmet Requests

You can test your cooking skill by submitting meals to Lovett's Gourmet Requests, in Lovett's mansion in town.
