Tokimeki Restaurant☆☆☆/Recipes

Recipes are items used for cooking dishes served in the player's own restaurant. They are acquired through various means and always expend a fixed amount of stamina when selected. Time-limited recipes constantly change within a set amount of days and are often themed after famous holidays, cuisine styles, or the six idols themselves. Locked in-game recipes, on the other hand, are automatically previewed when players come close to obtaining them. Note that some recipes can only be made by using a stove while other require a kitchen table installed within the vicinity, making both appliances mandatory for players.

Aside from cooking, a recipe's level may also be strengthened by fusing them with existing copies; this can be used as an alternative method of gaining star levels so long as players have enough currency. Additional stars increase a dish's overall price as well as its gourmet appeal to visiting food experts during challenge quests. Below is a chart of each star level's growth rate.
