🍳 **Expansion content created for the "Cooking Love" module, bringing a new original style cooking mini-game to Stardew Valley! **

Interactive cooking experience

Say goodbye to simple recipe selection, now you'll take part in a quick, interactive challenge: **Step-by-step processing of each ingredient**!

Timing is everything

**Click when the arrow reaches the green area, otherwise you may burn your dish! **The pace gradually increases as each ingredient is added, so **upgrading your frying pan to expand the green area** will make cooking easier.

Achievements and Rewards

When the mini-game is over, enjoy the fruits of your hard work: a steaming meal with **taste rating based on your cooking skills! **

💡 **IMPORTANT: The bigger your frying pan, the more you can cook in one mini-game! **

Compatibility Features

This mod is designed to be a natural extension of Stardew Valley and Cooking Love, keeping the experience light and fun and true to the original style of the game.

🌟 **Supports all recipes (including those added by mods)**

🎮 **Fully multiplayer supported**

🕹️ **Perfectly compatible with handle operation**

  • Make cooking no longer monotonous and experience the real joy of being a chef! * 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
