How to get new recipes in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To get your hands on new and more beneficial recipes in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you’ll need to cook food under Remy’s scrutiny. Here’s a rundown of the steps needed to pull it off.
Open Chez Remy
The first step to unlocking new recipes is to open Chez Remy. Once you’re over this step, you can proceed to the restaurant and begin cooking recipes. Simply mix and match the ingredients to create a variety of recipes.
Remy will react to any new ingredient you add. He’ll have one of two reactions: a positive reaction or a negative reaction.
A positive reaction indicates a higher star recipe, while a negative reaction indicates a basic recipe. So, the more you cook based on Remy’s positive reactions, the better-quality recipes you’ll get.

What’s a 5-star meal in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Best 5-star recipe
The best five-star recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley is either Large Seafood Platter or Potato Leek Soup. Both these cost a bit less compared to others.
The ingredients used are easily available and the energy return is the two main factors that lead to choosing these recipes.

Best recipes to sell
This category’s winners are also Anglerfish, Pan-Fried Anglerfish, and Smoked Peanuts.
Although meals usually sell for less than other products, both of these can be purchased for more than 2,000 Star Coins. The only drawback is that you have to be lucky to catch an Anglerfish.
If you require a recipe with less time, then puff appetizer recipes are best suited for you. You can sell some recipes for a decent amount like:
- Bell Pepper Puff- worth 606 coins
- Potato Puffs- worth 736 coins
- Pumpkin Puffs- worth 1400 coins
You can also opt for pumpkin soup but you should grow it yourself by getting pumpkin seeds. The pumpkin soup will be worth around 1500 coins and it only requires milk and pumpkin.
Best recipes for energy
When it comes to energy restoration, fish recipes are superior to all others, and if you have the patience to try catching many anglerfish, the dishes you can make with it are some of the best.
Anglerfish and peanuts are the only ingredients in the 2-star recipe Smoked Peanuts and Anglerfish, which restores approximately 4,000 energy and costs 800 more star coins than selling anglerfish alone.
Both Lobster Roll and Poached Basil Butter Sturgeon are best as they restore 5000 energy per recipe.
