How To Get Salt & Pepper

As you progress through ChefVille you will find more recipes that require Salt and/or Pepper. I have seen many people asking how they can get Salt and Pepper so I decided to write a short article about obtaining these ingredients. Don't worry it is actually very simple!

3 Steps To Get Salt & Pepper

Step #1. Get ChefVille Friends- If you don't have any friends that play ChefVille, click on Add Neighbors at the top of your screen. You can then invite any of your Facebook friends to become your neighbors in ChefVille.

 

Step #2. Visit Your Neighbors & Help Them Out- Click on your neighbor's picture at the bottom of your screen to visit his or her restaurant. Once you are at your neighbor's restaurant help them out 5 times (You can help each neighbor a maximum of 5 times every 24 hours). After doing so you will receive 1x Salt and 1 Energy.

 
Step #3. Complete Step #2 Three Days In A Row- After 3 consecutive days of visiting the same neighbor you will become a Regular and start receiving Salt and Pepper with each visit. You will continue to receive Salt & Pepper as long as you don't miss a day. If you do miss a day you will go back to Basic. 3 consecutive days of visiting your neighbor will bring you back up to Regular status.

Please comment below if there are any other ways of obtaining Salt & Pepper in ChefVille. Thanks For Reading!

How To Harvest Ingredients Without Unlocking Them

I've seen many people ask how they can get certain types of ingredients. Whether it be getting eggs, asparagus, broccoli, etc. there is a solution to getting the ingredients that you need. The best part is with this tip you can harvest ingredients without having to unlock new areas!

Steps To Getting These Ingredients

Step #1. Become ChefVille Friends With High Level Players- Players that have a higher level than you will likely have more areas unlocked, which means that they will have access to a great variety of ingredients.

Step #2. Visit These Friends- You can simply click their picture at the bottom of your screen and you will be taken to their restaurant.

Step #3. Collect Ingredients!- Once you are in your friend's restaurant, click on the ingredient that you want to harvest. Finding most ingredients is pretty straightforward, (Eg. Click the Chicken Coop if you want Eggs, Click the Pond if you want Salmon). The only catch is that you can only do this 5 times per friend every 24 hours.

Step #4. Go Cook Your Recipe!- Recipe & Ingredients Chart Can Be Found Here

I hope these tips helped. If there are any other ways of getting ingredients please comment below. Thanks for reading!

5 Ways To Get More Coins In ChefVille

Coins are the main currency in ChefVille. You will need coins to buy new equipment, supplies, decorations and also to unlock new areas. The more coins you get the faster you can gain experience and progress through ChefVille.

Here Are 5 Ways To Get More Coins

#1. Serve Meals To Customers- Your waiter will automatically serve meals to customers. However when you serve customers you will receive extra coins. The only catch is that each time you serve a customer yourself it costs energy. If you have some extra energy and need some coins, serve customers is a great way to spend energy.

#2. Complete Goals- You will always have goals to complete, shown on the left side of your screen. Upon completion you will receive ingredients, XP and Coins! Be sure to complete the goals that are set for you.

#3. Help Out Friends- You can help out each of your ChefVille friends 5 times each day. Each time you perform an action at your friend's restaurant coins will drop for you. The more friends you have on ChefVille the more coins you can collect each day!

#4. Buy Coins- You can also buy coins for Cash if you choose to. Cash can be bought for real money. I wouldn't want to spend real money on a game, but the choice is up to you.

#5. While You Were Away- Customers will continue to be served by your waiter while you are away from the game. Make sure you make enough food for your customers for the time you are not playing ChefVille. You will receive the coins once you log back into the game.

I hope these tips helped. If there are any other ways of getting coins please comment below. Thanks for reading!

6 Ways To Get Energy In ChefVille

Every action that you do in ChefVille requires at least 1 Energy. These actions range from collecting ingredients to cooking to serving customers. You can see how much Energy you have left by looking at the energy bar in top right corner of your screen.


Here Are The 5 Ways You Can Get Energy In ChefVille

#1. Visiting ChefVille Friends- You can visit friends by clicking on their picture at the bottom of your screen. You will receive 3 energy when you visit your neighbor for the first time and 1 energy thereafter. You can do this for a maximum of 25 Energy every 24 hours.

#2. Waiting- You can simply just wait 5 Minutes for 1 energy. As long as your Energy bar is not full your Energy will slowly replenish over time. (12 Energy Per Hour)  

#3. Energy Pack (+1 Energy)- Friends can gift you with energy packs. When you visit and help a friend's restaurant they can accept your help and then have an option to send you an energy pack.You can use these Energy Packs in your inventory.

#4. Friends Can Share Energy- After completing quests, ChefVille players will have the option to share free energy on their Facebook wall. Check the Facebook walls of your ChefVille friends to get some free energy.

#5. Leveling Up- Getting enough XP will allow you to gain a level. Each Level Up gives you full energy and increases the maximum amount of energy you can hold.

#6. Buying Energy- As a last resort, you have the option of buying energy when you run out of it. This will require Cash then you can buy with real money. 

I hope these tips helped. If there are any other ways of getting energy please comment below. Thanks for reading!

Ways To Get Roses & Recommendations

Roses & Recommendations are very important as they allow you to unlock new areas for your restaurant. The faster you expand your restaurant, the more customers you can have and the further you can progress through the game.

Note: After Reading This Guide Don't Forget Your 5 Free Ingredients From The Test Kitchen!

3 Ways To Get Roses

#1. Collect From Rose Stand- First you must buy the Rose Stand from the Marketplace. Each time you collect from your Rose Stand you will be given 3 roses. Every 8 hours you will be able to collect these roses again. This is one of the best ways to obtain Roses in ChefVille.

#2. Get From Friends- When you do not have any Roses left, try to collect recommendations. You will see a screen selling roses or ask you to "request". Click request and you will be able to request roses from your friends. In most cases the more friends you have the more total roses you will receive.

#3. Buy With Cash- This is the third and most costly way of obtaining roses. You can simply buy roses for In-Game Cash (Which can be bought for real money).

I would first try #1 or #2 and use #3 as a last resort because no one likes paying for virtual items. The choice is yours though.


Getting Recommendations
Recommendations are necessary for unlocking new areas in ChefVille. To get recommendations you must spend Roses on customers. When customers come into you restaurant they will sometimes have a Rose icon hovering over their head. This can only occur when you have food to serve to your customers.

Once you spend a Rose on your customer it will cost your 1 Energy. So make sure you pay attention to your energy levels when trying to obtain recommendations. Also note that there is currently a 100 maximum limit recommendation for each ChefVille player so use them wisely.

Please comment below if you feel there is anything else important to note about Roses & Recommendations in ChefVille. Thanks For Reading!
