Updated December 26, 2024 by Jacqueline Zalace: Still looking to collect all of the Stardew Valley recipes? We've updated this guide with some hover-over links for each dish, as well as information about the Queen of Sauce Cookbook, which is a great late-game way to learn recipes.

The Queen Of Sauce Recipes

The main way you'll learn recipes is by tuning into the valley's favorite cooking show, The Queen of Sauce. You can learn a new recipe every week from her, so it's crucial to check the TV (or simply use this guide) to determine when a new recipe or a repeat that you missed is airing.

New recipes air every Sunday for the first two years in-game, and a random rerun will play on Wednesdays.

Here are all of The Queen of Sauce's recipes in chronological order as they appear on air.
