Tuesdays on TV there is a cooking show that gives a new reciepe every week and if you give gifts to the villagers.....like give a bamboo shoot to Gotz and corn to the blacksmith

be friends to the villagers and give them gifts(you must find out their favorites)and if u do it,in the evening(you must have the largest rucksuck)give flowers to the villagers(but i done it by giving moondrop flowers)and they will tell you some recipies..the person who will not giving recipies are not enough to be your close friends..so what will you have to do is continue the process of giving..


..the one that is so hard to convience is doug, so give him wild grapes as many as you can in one evening only and he will teach you how to make "cheese fondou"

..ellen will teach you how to make sandwich..
..the pastor teach you how to make the snacks he is cooking to the childrens
..manna will teach you too how to make "ohitashi greens"
.......and the others!!
