The quest starts off with a conversation with Reede, who states that you need to find his grandfather’s recipe. He also states that the dish has a creamy and melty texture.

The farm has a lake on the east end and here, you will come across Koyin (3629, -2046, 0178); the daughter of Dantz. You then need to start the conversation with Koyin. Doing so will start another side quest A Letter to Koyin.

To complete the A Letter to Koyin side adventure, you must recover the Message Bottle from the lake using the Ultrahand Ability. The bottle will be out of range for the Ultrahand, so you must make a raft to reach it further.
After creating the platform and placing it on the lake, swim to reach it. The message bottle will be within Ultrahand’s reach. Use it to get it out of the water and place it near Koyin.
Koyin will open the bottle and read the message with the recipe for the dish Reede was talking about. After getting the clue from the bottle, she will ask you to follow her to the house so that she can make the new signature product right away.

The side adventure A Letter to Koyin will finish once you follow her to the house. As for the recipe, she will create Hateno Cheese and give it to you for free.
Now that you have the secret ingredients for Reede’s grandfather’s recipe, you need to head back to Reede in the village. Once there, hand over the Hateno Cheese that you got from Koyin to him.
The cheese delivered to the Reede will be enough to make the new signature food. At the same time, it will complete the A New Signature Food side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
