Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland/Cooking

To even begin cooking, you'll need to buy a Kitchen from the Carpenter's House for a whopping 10,000G. Even if it's the most expensive thing in the game, if you can grab enough dough, it's definitely worth every penny. You can use mundane and semi-worthless ingredients to make new dishes, which recover more stamina, sell for more money, and often work as better gifts than what they're made from. Although having a kitchen increases your final happiness rating, you don't actually need one to complete any ending.

There are four appliances in your kitchen: Fridge, Frying Pan, Pot, and Oven. The fridge itself can only be used to store food items, but your inventory is so massive, you won't need it unless you hang on to a lot of different dishes. The other three utensils are used in cooking; each recipe only uses one.
