Just watch TV! Seriously, the 'Queen of Sauce' show airs on Wednesdays and reruns on Sundays, giving you a new cooking recipe each time. Don't miss it, or you'll have to wait for a rerun or buy the recipe from Gus at the Stardrop Saloon.
Talk about instant gratification, but no, you can't just buy all the recipes. Some you gotta earn the old-fashioned way: by making friends and leveling up. Time to socialize and grind!
Unlocking recipes in Stardew Valley is mostly about leveling up your skills and making friends. For every skill level you gain in farming, mining, fishing, foraging, or combat, you'll unlock new crafting recipes. Making friends with villagers by giving them gifts they love will sometimes reward you with cooking recipes in the mail the next day!
