Why can't I unlock cooking in Animal Crossing?
Cooking in Animal Crossing: New Horizons becomes available after you download the 2.0 update! First thing, you'll need to make sure your game is up to date. Then, you have to set up the island life a bit—help out Tom Nook, get Blathers to your island, and upgrade your Resident Services. After all that jazz, you'll find yourself chatting with Franklin on Turkey Day, who introduces you to the wonderful world of cooking! So, keep plugging away at those island tasks and make sure your game's updated!

Honestly, just update your game and talk to the right NPCs. It's pretty straightforward, no secret handshake required.
Did you update your game? Cooking got added in the 2.0 update. Without it, you're stuck in pre-cooking times.
