In Disney Dreamlight Valley, meals are one of the best ways to recover energy and will give you the Well Fed Bonus. In addition to being quest items or rewards, they can be used as gifts or even sold to Goofy. However, you won’t be able to see the meal in your collection until you cook it yourself. By cooking at a cooking station, you’ll be combining ingredients, whether it be from your inventory or your storage outside your backpack. Unlike crafting, you don’t have to know the recipe before trying your hand at making something. If you combine the correct ingredients, the recipe will be added to your meal collection.
There are so many recipes to uncover through the base game which is what this guide will cover. I’ll include all of the ingredients you’ll need, the energy you’ll recover, and how much they sell for. Something to keep in mind, whether you choose to use the meal for energy or sell it, it may yield differing results based on the ingredients used. Particularly with the versatile ingredients. Each ingredient has a different cost, so if you pick “auto-fill” it will choose the lowest Star Coin value and you won’t make as much of a profit. Moreover, the amount of stars a dish has in it, that’s how many ingredients it uses.
Above all, this guide is for only the base game. Recipes for DLC areas, like Eternity Isle, or event recipes will not be included.

1 Star Meals
With One Star Meals, they’re usually the simplest to make and require the least amount of time. These dishes replenish little energy and usually offer no more profit than their raw ingredient counter part when sold at Goofy’s Stall. Furthermore, they’re best used for quests, gifts, or fulfilling an order at Remy’s Restaurant.

2 Star Meals
Next, we have the two star meals. Requiring two ingredients, these are a great way to restore energy as they’re cheap and very easy to craft. This makes them the best for maintaining the “Well-fed” buff. Depending on the recipe, you can usually expect to recover from 400 to 700 energy with each meal that you eat.

3 Star Meals
Continuing the tend, three star meals require 3 ingredients. These are the middle ground out of the all recipes, so they have the most wiggle room. They’re usually pretty practical and offer a substantial energy boost. Furthermore, if you’re looking for a hefty amount of Star Coins, Pumpkin Puffs are always a great choice to sell to Goofy.

5 Star Meals
Last but not least, the five star meals. Each requires five ingredients to fulfill these high quality dishes. They sell for a good amount of coin and replenish a substantial amount of energy. Though, the rarer the ingredient, the better the benefits. The easiest, if you’re just looking to keep up the “Well-fed” bonus, would probably be the Lobster Roll and the Arendellian Pickled Herring. These high culinary items are certain to satisfy any of Dreamlight’s residents.
