Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ big new 2.0 update adds food that you can cook in a kitchen. You can use produce that you grow to make the various foods, too. Our Animal Crossing: New Horizons food, cooking, and DIY Recipes+ guide teaches you where to find food recipes and what crops you need to make the recipes.

What does food do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
You can place the food as decor to spice up any kitchen or dining areas you have in game. You can also eat the food to power you up, making it easy to dig up trees in one fell swoop or break rocks. (Remember to poop out any extra energy you have when you’re done renovating your island, as you don’t want to accidentally break any rocks you wanted to keep.)
Where to find DIY food recipes
With the Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 update, you’ll find a lot of new options at the Nook Stop. For cooking, buy the DIY Recipes+ for 2,000 miles. This updates your DIY app, and unlocks a kitchen as well as food and drinks.
There’s also a book of food and drink recipes called Basic Cooking Recipes for sale in Nook’s Cranny for 4,980 bells.
When fishing up certain critters for the first time after updating, you may also learn a food DIY recipe that uses said fish. Tasty!
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nook Mileage rewards list
Earn Nook Miles for completing various long term tasks around your island.
Build a kitchen
To make food and drink, you can’t use a regular DIY Table. Instead, you’ll have to build a Kitchen. When you unlock DIY Recipes+, you’ll get a recipe for a Stonework Kitchen (30 Stone, 15 Clay, 10 Iron Nuggets).
Farming Carrots, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Sugarcane, Tomatoes, and Wheat
The first recipes you receive require some new ingredients and crafting materials, and that means you’ll be doing some farming.
You’ll need to buy your produce starts from Leif when he visits your island (he can show up any day).
Animal Crossing: New Horizons DIY Recipes+ and ingredients list
You’ll have a handful of food and drink recipes for cooking when you purchase the DIY Recipes+ and Basic Cooking Recipes books. You’ll unlock more in the usual ways — by collecting crafting materials, finding message bottles, and shooting down balloons.
Below is a list of all the food recipes that we know of, along with what you’ll need to make them. We’ll continue to update the list as we discover more recipes.
