Pot-au-feu is a great vegetable dish that you can make in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. The best time to cook Pot-au-feu is in the Spring because you can grow most of the ingredients needed for it all season long.

Where To Learn the Recipe

Cooking inspiration is something that happens automatically as you make dishes with different ingredients. Once you’ve cooked with an ingredient a certain number of times, you can unlock a new recipe that uses the same item!

The farmer gets inspired to cook Pot-au-feu while in the kitchen.

To learn the recipe for Pot-au-feu, you need to cook with the following ingredients:

Ingredients	Number of dishes you need to cook
Carrot	5 dishes
Turnip	10 dishes

The quality of the ingredients you use can reduce the number of times you need to cook with that item. You can check the quality by looking at how many stars the ingredient has.

Interface of the fridge with the ingredient quality indicated.

For each additional star that an ingredient has, the number of times you need to cook with it decreases by a factor of 1.

If a recipe states that you have to cook with Turnips 10 times to unlock it, you can make any dish with 1-star Turnips 10 times. But if you have 2-star Turnips, you only need to cook with them 5 times. Likewise, 5-star Turnips will unlock the recipe after only 2 uses.

Recipe Requirements

Equipment Needed

The equipment needed to make Pot-au-feu can be bought from Jeff at the General Store.

The downside is that Jeff sells his kitchen equipment one by one, in 10-day intervals after you buy the first of Gotts’ house remodeling upgrades.

This means that you can only access the next piece of equipment 10 days after the previous one becomes available for purchase.

How To Sell Pot-au-feu

Any dishes made in your kitchen can’t be shipped through Zack and the Shipping Bin. However, you can start selling food to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell a dish to Huang, stand in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite behind the counter, because that registers as a gift instead.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding a plate of Pot-au-feu.

Huang will then offer you a price, which you can actually reject for a chance at getting him to bid higher.

The price range for Pot-au-feu is anywhere between 480 G and 570 G. If Huang offers you 530 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.
