If you can't unlock cooking, be sure you have all 10 villagers moved onto your island.

[@Bansheesandsiouxsie]

I live on my brothers island and I have done everything you said + I have 10 viligers and a stove and recipes there still dont have the thing in nook miles

How do you unlock cooking in animal Crossing New Horizon

[@jellygirl4729]

I'll will check animal crossing

[@jellygirl4729]

Ok

[@grapeshaketeehee]

Does other accs count?

[@user-lu7fi9fo1z]

just unlocked cooking following this video (thanks!) steps taken for anyone struggling 1) 8 villagers on island 2) 3-Stars island eval 3) interacted with stove item in lazy villagers house to get "i could cook here dialogue" (probably unnecessary) 4) k.k performance 5) day after kk performance: recipes unlocked

[@9ightdreamer]

Thanks!

[@miko8324]

It didn’t work for me and k.k performed already

[@muzanjackson2056]

@@miko8324 Me too, but then i waited a day and it was there! If that doesnt work than i dont know what to say😬

[@samia543]

So step three is unnecessary (as you predicted) you just have to touch a stove in your house or anywhere else. Just letting you know not trying to be rude.

[@MinTea14]

thank you, this was really stressful to try and find

[@kateypanko4566]

Ceo, I've been playing Animal Crossing New Horizons since 2020. You are helping me so much with the things I need help with in Animal Crossing. Thank you so much for helping me!

[@nickyfootball4829]

I still can't unlock cooking. I have done everything that was required. I have the 2 04 version. I have the three stars, KK has visited and performed for the first time, upgraded resident services, completed the customization workshops. While KK was performing the end credits were rolling on the side. What more do I have to do. I really need help with this. I am starting to think cooking doesn't exist.

[@spithix9676]

It definitely does exist. Unfortunately, I am unable to help you as I have done all of those steps and it worked.. maybe try look on google for any explanation? I don't really know what to say to potentially help but that's all I can do. Hope you can get cooking some day! ~

[@kristineviernes5636]

idk if you've figured it out yet but you can't cook until KK slider visits

Go to nooks cranny

[@luciaroseofficial]

Thank you so much!💗 I have been struggling to get cooking because all of the tutorial videos I watched just said this "you must have resident services building to do this so go to the nook stop and look you will find it!" and I have the building and it didn't work so I found this I knew that it was bc I didn't have KK.

2 years later i hella appreciate it! I bought the upgraded app and couldn't figure out why i couldn't cook with my work bench, i didn't realize i needed a stove!😂

[@videovixen06]

Thank you so much for this I'm new to this game I started in mid-December and I've done everything as far as the updates and everything but I still haven't received my cooking option am I doing something wrong?

[@Skibidisigmafrfr]

I thought I did something wrong but turns out that I didnt do the workshop lol and a coincidence is that I have a spiritual crystal and I tried to predict the time Id get to three stars so I asked "will I get it in 2 weeks?" and it swung back and fourth (thats yes coz it doesnt have a voice) and I unlocked K.K Slider today and thats the 2 week mark of when I asked O_O

[@leahm8658]

Thank you no other video could explain this to me.💗

[@kaylacarter573]

I have done all of these steps and have the updated version of the game but still can’t cook. Can anyone help? I get the “ this would be a good area to prep” prompt but still don’t have the option to redeem the diy for miles at my nook stop.

I’m stuck there too! Did you figure it out yet?

Update: it unlocked The next morning. In that time I also did a photo shoot on Harvs island which is not yet or not I don’t know if that was what did

[@tinytoeswarm3778]

Me too

[@Persephone.Underworld]

There’s another helpful tip if you don’t see it, move to the special section so that you can look through and it should be there. You don’t have to interact with a kitchen thing in one of the lazy villagers in order to do this. Just keep checking.

[@Luvghost_]

I just got kk slider today and I don’t have the DIY unlocked but hopefully tomorrow i will :)

[@TheMarie1971]

Hello did you get the diy the next day

[@Luvghost_]

@@TheMarie1971 yes i did! As explained in the video you just go to your residence services nook stop and get the cooking diy :) it should give you the recipe for a stonework kitchen also

On my profile everything is already done, and I got the cooking DIY but my kiddos made an profile and villager on my island but she can't unlock it no matter what she does. Is that some kind of glitch? Idk what else to do!

[@s.ss13]

Hi I wanted to say I got 3 stars and kk hasn’t come and I haven’t unlocked anything new, can you help?

[@ragingstormx1330]

Hello! I just got KK to come, so hopefully my experience will help. To get KK I had to build two new houses and get new villagers to move in so that there were more people to rate my island. It sounds like if you have a 3 star island then you might already be there though. I had to wait until the next day and I talked to Isabelle about my ratings, in which she talked about a review in which the person relayed a desire to visit and it was signed by “KS”. This caused Tom to realize it was KK Slider and he wanted to visit. The next day he was invited to my island to perform. Hope this helps!

[@averyludwig7848]

Hey, I don’t know why KK isn’t there it might be a glitch because I have three stars and I have KK so maybe it just takes a little bit for him to come?
