What are the best cooking recipes to make in Hello Kitty Island Adventure?

Considering the fact that you’ll only usually be making recipes for the purposes of gift-giving or filling out your collections, there are some recipes that are more worth preparing than others.

While just starting out and increasing your friendships with the villagers, you’ll want some easy-to-make gifts that are at least two hearts. While not everyone appreciates edible goodies, some of the more difficult-to-level characters will happily take your baked or roasted goods off your hands.
