Expert Cooking Tips
Stack Your Buffs: Food buffs don't stack - eating new food replaces the old buff. Plan which buff you need for your activity before eating. The only exception is drinks (Coffee, Triple Shot Espresso) which provide a separate speed buff that stacks with food.
Use the Fridge: Your kitchen fridge acts as extended ingredient storage. Any ingredients stored there will be automatically used when cooking, saving inventory space. The Mini-Fridge from Robin works the same way.
Gift Strategy: Many villagers love cooked dishes. Check each villager's loved gifts to find cooking shortcuts for building friendships. For example, Penny loves Poppy Seed Muffins, and Krobus loves Void Egg Mayo dishes.
