Cooking is eventually a very important part of experience in Rune Factory Frontier whether it is for winning the affection of a certain maiden, making money, or for supplies necessary for dungeon survival.

The Kitchen and Kitchen Area

Starting out, the player can buy a kitchen for the kitchen area with enough money from Lute on Sunday. This first kitchen is basic and unable to handle all recipes.

To buy larger kitchens beyond this starter kitchen, the player must invest in a larger kitchen Area by talking to Kross. This will cost Gold and Lumber. Once the area has been enlarged in the style the player prefers you will be able to buy subsequently larger kitchens (Remember to save in your journal before modifying your kitchen space so you can reload if you want to see the styles without committing to the style. To reload, simply access the wii menu and reset the software after saving)
