Pro Cooking Tips & Strategies
Level Up Your Cooking Skill Fast
Want to unlock those high-level recipes ASAP? Here’s the grind:
- Cook simple recipes in bulk—House Salad, Fried Egg, and Tomato Soup are cheap and quick
- Quantity over quality when leveling—doesn’t matter if it’s low-profit, just keep cooking
- Set up ingredient farms early so you’re never waiting on materials
Maximize Your Profit Margins
The secret to making bank? Grow your own ingredients. Buying everything from vendors kills your margins. Here’s the strategy:
- Farm tomatoes and mushrooms religiously—they’re in tons of profitable recipes
- Raise livestock for eggs, milk, and meat once you unlock home plots
- Focus on recipes with easily farmable ingredients in the early-to-mid game
- Save rare ingredients (like Truffle, Caviar, Phoenix Feather) for the absolute highest-profit dishes
Energy Management for Long Sessions
Some activities drain your energy fast (looking at you, fishing and bug catching). Keep these high-energy foods on hand:
- Mushroom Stew (+70 Energy, easy to mass-produce)
- Seafood Paella (+80 Energy)
- Wagyu Steak (+110 Energy)
- Kaiseki Course (+120 Energy)
- Full Course Dinner (+150 Energy)
- Phoenix Feast (+200 Energy—the ultimate stamina bomb)
Star Quality Matters
Here’s something the game doesn’t spell out clearly: ingredient star ratings affect your final dish quality. Higher-star ingredients = higher-star dishes = better sell prices AND more energy restoration.
Always use your best ingredients when cooking for profit or personal use. Save the low-star stuff for leveling up your cooking skill.
Quick Reference: Recipe Stats at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What’s the fastest way to level up my cooking skill?
Mass-produce simple Level 1-2 recipes like House Salad, Fried Egg, or Tomato Soup. The XP gain is all about volume, not profit or complexity. Just keep cooking and you’ll level up quickly.
Should I sell all my cooked dishes or save some for energy?
Keep a small stockpile of high-energy foods (like Mushroom Stew or Seafood Paella) for fishing/bug catching sessions, but sell the rest. You can always cook more when you need it. Maximize that gold flow!
What ingredients should I prioritize farming?
Tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes, eggs, and milk are your bread and butter (pun intended). They appear in tons of profitable recipes across all levels. Once you unlock higher-level crops, prioritize anything used in Level 8+ dishes.
Is it worth cooking high-level dishes if the ingredients are expensive?
Absolutely if you’re growing/raising the ingredients yourself. Phoenix Feast might seem crazy expensive, but if you’ve farmed the materials, that +1800G profit is pure gold. Never buy rare ingredients just to cook and sell; you’ll lose money.
Cooking in Heartopia is one of the best ways to rack up gold once you’ve got your ingredient supply chains running. Start with Fish N Chips, work your way through the mushroom dishes, and eventually you’ll be serving up Phoenix Feasts for massive profits. Need more gold-making tips?
