All Garden Witch Life Cooking Recipes How to Unlock Them

Whether you’re making soup or a new chair in Garden Witch Life, you’re going to need a recipe to follow. Both crafting and cooking require unlocking recipes, which you’ll find in a variety of ways as you explore Moonflower Island.

If you’re looking to track down a specific recipe or just need a reference while you gather ingredients, our guide to all of the recipes in Garden Witch Life and how to unlock them is here to help.

**This guide is in progress. Last updated 9/23/2024**

Viewing Your Current Recipe List

It’s helpful to keep track of which recipes you’ve got, especially if you’re trying to gather ingredients for something specific. In Garden Witch Life, the recipe tab in your journal is an excellent resource.

Here, you can see every recipe you’ve unlocked. It will also tell you which tool you need to make something, which is helpful since clicking on a specific kitchen or crafting tool only shows you what you can make using it.

Simply hover over a recipe in the recipe tab to see its ingredients and where to go to make it. If the item is a food or drink, you’ll also see the impact it’ll have on your stats when consumed.

Note: There’s a small glitch here with the Whisk recipes. They will show up as being made on the Workbench. If it’s food, use the Whisk. The developer is working on a fix.

Console Note: The console version Whisk glitch sometimes causes recipes not to work at all, even when properly using the whisk to make them. The fix for this should be released soon.
