To start cooking you'll first need to upgrade your house to it's second stage. You can upgrade by calling Gotz on the telephone, and paying him 3000 G and 200 pieces of STONE lumber. If you don't have enough Stone Lumber you can upgrade you house for 43000 G, which includes the cost of materials.
After you've upgraded your house you then need to keep an eye every morning on Channel 2 of the Sprite Station. Every so often Uranus Sprite will display something for you to purchase. Sometimes he has an item that isn't buyable, but once a week he'll have items you can purchase for your house. When you see the item you want just use the telephone in your house to call the Tv Shopping station. The item will then be dropped off by Thomas a few days later.
If you don't have Channel 2 you'll need to use your telephone to purchase items. Just calling up one of the farms every day and buying some fodder, or calling the store to buy a piece of chocolate should be enough to unlock the channel after a few weeks.
Once you've bought your kitchen you can begin cooking. There are also 5 utensils you can purchase from Uranus, which also show up on Channel 2. Press A when standing next to the kitchen to start cooking. You'll first select up to 8 ingredients (keep pressing Down through your rucksack menu to select ingredients stored in your refridgerator), then select the one utensil you want to use.
You can also ship the cooked food, but only if you put it in your Basket first. Then you have to dump the contents of your Basket into the shipping box. For some reason I've never been able to toss the food directly into the shipping box. You can also Can the food if you have the Manufacturing Barn and the Cannery. Shipping your cooked food is required to complete your shipped item list, one of the requirements for the Harvest Goddess marriage.
Soba/Buckwheat Flour (そば粉) Bug: The first release of Sprite Station has a bug with the Winter 30 festival where you are to receive 10 Soba (aka Buckwheat) Flour. You're suppose to aquire the flour if you visit the festival with nothing in your rucksack. Unfortunatly in the first revision of the game Thomas will only give you the completed Soba Noodles dish instead of the flour to make it yourself, even if you have nothing at all in your rucksack. It has been corrected in an updated revision of the game.
