Cooking Guide | Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Walkthrough
In this guide, I will discuss all the matters related to cooking in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope.
Cooking is one of the activities that you can do in HM: LoH. Not only as a side activity but it is also related to the main storyline in which you have to cook a Strawberry Jam.
On the other hand, most of the villagers love your homemade cooking. Some request from Nova, Sally, and Michael also requires you to cook certain foods.
Hence, it is very important to understand the basics of cooking so you might be a great Chef in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope.
How to Cook in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope
If you want to cook, you can use a stove in your house. Simply move the cursor or your character to the stove, and then click or press the (X) button. The food choices will appear and the ingredients needed to make it.
Some of the Harvest Moon series allow you to experiment when cooking. However, in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, you must have a recipe for cooking. So you can't get failed dishes.
How to Get the Recipes and Ingredients for Cooking in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope
Early in the game, you can't cook because you don't have a recipe at all. Though you already have a recipe for cooking, it's just very basic food and you don't have a lot of options.
You can only make some kind of fried fish. So, you have to buy the recipes at Bastian's restaurant (a house near Sam's Store) to make more food.
However, to open up more recipes in the restaurant there are some conditions you should do, including you have to finish the main storyline and increase the friendship points with Elise and Bastian.
You can get a small part of the other recipes if you complete Elise's and Bastian's requests. For example, the Cheesecake, La Meuniere, and Potato Salad recipe.
The basic ingredients and seasonings you need to cook such as bread, flour, sugar, salt, cheese, butter, and others are also available at the restaurant.
So, if you haven't repaired Bastian's restaurant, then you have to repair that first. The material to repair his restaurant is easy to get because you only need Softwood Lumber 10x, Stone 5x, and Perch/Yellow Perch 2x (fish).
For other cooking ingredients, you have to get it in other ways. Fishing, if you want to get a fish. If you need milk and egg, you should raise a cow and chicken.
You can plant crops and trees if you want to get vegetables and fruits. Buy the seeds from Sam.
