📋 About This Mod
Buy cooking recipes from the SMAPI console!
Now that this mod has 10+ endorsements, I'll schedule in development to allow you to buy recipes from a magazine rack in Pierre's shop.
Each week on Sunday a new set of up to five cooking recipes will be available to buy. These will be recipes that you do not already own. Prices are listed next to each item.
For a gif of what to expect, visit the project on github readme.
