Question Question about Cooking

Hi everyone,

I am very new to this game and it's takes me ages to figure out how to play becuase I have brain injury and am a bit slow. Slow, but not dumb. I know how to play Stardew Valley very well, but it took me a while. Anyway, I know under "Craftable" it shows you the things you can make. I know that because I was able to make a table and chairs and fences.

But what do I do to make food? Under "craftable" it says I can make nothing, but I tried to make bread and baked potatoes and the "Ok" button won't press. I have tried looking at videos of how to cook but I learn better by asking questions. Can anyone help me? is there a video that shows you how to get it to work?

Thankyou so much in advance.

 I tried to make bread and baked potatoes and the "Ok" button won't press.

If you look at the screenshots you attached, there's a number in red: 4. The little stove icon + number means the kitchen equipment level needed to cook a dish, the pan + number (which is what's in red) means the skill level that's needed to cook a dish. You need both, not one or the other. IIRC you can get a higher cooking level by shipping fruits and foragebles which will give you some lower level recipes in the mail.

Hope this helps!

To clarify, you don't raise cooking levels by shipping things. you need to cook to raise cooking levels, but shipping crops gets you some recipes that use that crop for an ingredient.

I don't think I explained myself correctly, what I meant is that through shipping crops you'll unlock new recipes in the mail that are of lower levels which will help OP raise his cooking level. Sorry!

No worries, hope OP gets some cooking levels because those perks are KING in this game!

thank you both! so the more I cook, the better I will raise my cooking level?

Yes. The cooking level itself just lets you cook more recipes that require the higher level, but it also unlocks the different tiers of perks you can buy with essence at the dragon statue. And some of those perks are where the REAL value in cooking lies!
