This My Leisure Time Recipes guide covers every currently available recipe in My Leisure Time, including all regular dishes and the full secret menu. Whether you are just starting out or trying to 100% the recipe catalog, this breakdown is designed to help you cook correctly, avoid Dark Cuisine, and progress efficiently.
The structure is simple: recipes are unlocked by level, ingredients must be exact, and progression depends on completing earlier dishes first. Missing or incorrect ingredients will always result in Dark Cuisine, so precision matters.

Cooking Guide and Tips
Every recipe requires exact ingredients. Adding extra items or missing one ingredient will always produce Dark Cuisine. There is no flexibility in recipes, even if the ingredients seem similar.
Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, and mushrooms can be grown in the garden. Keeping your garden active is essential for steady progress.
Protein ingredients like eggs, chicken thighs, pork ribs, duck meat, beef brisket, and lamb chops are obtained through the supply basket on the diner screen. Use the navigation arrows to switch supply tiers, consume supplies, then restock and collect them once they arrive.
A good progression strategy is to:
Complete all recipes at your current level
Stockpile vegetables before attempting higher-level dishes
Avoid experimenting unless you are intentionally trying to unlock secret recipes
