How to Become a Five-Star Chef in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Cooking is a core activity in Disney Dreamlight Valley, especially during Star Path events, which often include various cooking-related tasks. One challenging yet rewarding task is becoming a five-star chef. This guide will walk you through the steps to achieve this goal.
Understanding Five-Star Entrees
To complete the five-star chef task, you need to cook 10 five-star entrees. Not just any five-star dish will qualify; it must specifically be from the entree category. This can make the task a bit more complicated if you’re not familiar with the game’s recipe categories.
Finding the Right Recipes
- Identifying Entrees: At a cooking station or an Ancient Cooker, look for the covered meal platter icon. This represents the entree category. Only recipes under this icon that have five ingredients and five stars will count toward your task.
- Collection Tab: You can view all your available meals under the Collection tab and navigate to the entrees section. This page lists all entrees, including those you haven’t made yet. If you lack five-star entree recipes, you may need to unlock new ones.
Cooking Your Entrees
Any five-star entree will work for this quest, so you can either cook 10 of the same dish or a mix of different ones. Here are some five-star entrees that are relatively easier to cook:
- Bouillabaisse
- Greek Pizza
- Ratatouille
These dishes require five ingredients each, making them costly but essential for completing the task.
Additional Tips for Star Path Duties
While working on this task, you might come across five-star meals during various quests. For example, the Mysterious Cajun Recipe in the “A Taste for Literature” quest or dishes from “Dreamlight Gastronomy” are such instances. However, these are exclusive quest recipes and cannot be cooked repeatedly.
For cooking-related Star Path duties, using Mist at an Ancient Cooker can be beneficial. This allows you to work on other tasks while your meals are being prepared. Note that you need the “A Rift in Time” expansion to access this feature.
Rewards and Next Steps
Completing the five-star chef task earns you 10 Lily Pad Tokens. While this isn’t much, it’s a good idea to tackle other duties to gain more tokens and claim the rewards you’re after. Here are some tasks you might consider next:
- Harvesting fruit from pink trees
- Bringing an elemental force of nature her favorite items
- Picking berries from the beach
- Giving gifts to a stargazing wayfinder
By following these steps and tips, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a five-star chef in Disney Dreamlight Valley, making your culinary journey both efficient and enjoyable.
