It’s hard to tell whether the steam coming off of this dish is because it’s freshly cooked or because of the asksvin meat in it. Either way, the spiced meat together with the vineberries and fiddlehead sprouts is so delicious that it doesn’t matter!
Ashlands Gourmet Bowl is a Feast that will increase your health by 75, stamina by 75, Eitr by 38, and health regeneration by 6 hp/tick for 50 minutes. To cook it, you’ll need to gather 3 Cooked Asksvin Tails, 5 Vineberry Clusters, 2 Scorching Medleys and Fiery Spice Powder, then combine it at a Food Preparation Table.
Fiery Spice Powder is sold by the Bog Witch at 200 Coins per 5 units
Feasts work slightly different from regular food. You can eat from a Feast up to 10 times, but before you can do that, you’ll need to place it on a flat surface with a Serving Tray. The buff you get from eating a Feast provides a balanced amount of health and stamina. Ashlands Gourmet Bowl is also one of the few Feasts that boost your Eitr reserves as well.
To start cooking Feasts, you’ll need to find the Bog Witch trader in the Swamp. When you do, buy a Serving Tray from her for 140 Coins. You’ll use it to place your Feasts, but also to decorate your base with foods and Mead. While visiting the witch, make sure to stock up on spices. To cook an Ashlands Gourmet Bowl, you’ll need some Fiery Spice Powder. The witch sells it for 200 Coins per 5 powder, but first you’ll need to defeat Fader, the Ashlands boss.
Cooked Asksvin Tail is fairly easy to make once you’ve reached the Ashlands biome. Asksvin monsters look like oversized Necks, and when slain, they drop their tails. To cook one, you’ll need to roast it on an Iron Cooking Station (Iron x3, Chain x3) for 25 seconds. Cooked Asksvin Tail roasts much quicker than most other Iron Cooking Station foods, so make sure not to turn it into Coal by leaving it on the fire for too long.
Vineberry Cluster resembles grapes and tends to grow on the sides of abandoned Ashlands buildings. When gathering it, you have a chance to also get some Vineberry Seeds you’ll then be able to plant in most biomes with the Cultivator tool (Corewood x5, Bronze x5) to start a farm.
Scorching Medley is the most complicated recipe of the bunch. To cook it, you’ll need some Jotun Puffs from the Mistlands, Onions from the Mountain, and Fiddlehead from the Ashlands. Then you’ll need to combine it all in a level 6 Cauldron.
With all that ready, head over to a Food Preparation Table (Iron x5, Finewood x20, Leather Scraps x15) where you’ll combine 3 Cooked Asksvin Tails, 5 Vineberry Clusters, 2 Scorching Medleys and Fiery Spice Powder into an Ashlands Gourmet Bowl.

Uses
Feasts are primarily used for the food buff they provide, but can also be set up as base decorations.
Placing a Feast
Before you can enjoy a nice Feast, you’ll need to place it on a flat surface. To do that, add the Serving Tray to your hotbar then select it by pressing the associated button. Then, open the tray’s crafting menu with a mouse right click. The first two tabs there deal with foods and Mead. The third is dedicated to Feast. Select it, then pick Ashlands Gourmet Bowl and place it.
The description for the Serving Tray suggests you need a table to place a Feast, but in fact any flat surface will do. Once a Feast is down, approach and interact with it. You’ll be able to eat from it up to 10 times. And if you want to clean up after yourself, you’ll be able to use the tray’s remove function.

Eating a Feast
For the most part, Feasts work just like regular food. You just need to place them down first. When you do and eat from an Ashlands Gourmet Bowl, your health will increase by 75, stamina by 75, Eitr by 38, and health regeneration by 6 hp/tick for 50 minutes. This can be combined with up to two other foods or Feasts, but you won’t be able to eat from an Ashlands Gourmet Bowl more than once at a time.
The effects of eating an Ashlands Gourmet Bowl will start out strong but will grow weaker with time. When there’s only 50% left in the buff’s duration, or 25 minutes, the buff icon will start flashing, allowing you to eat from an Ashlands Gourmet Bowl again to refresh the buff.
Helpful Tips
To enjoy an Ashlands Gourmet Bowl, you’ll first need to defeat Fader, the Ashlands boss, after which the Bog Witch will start selling Fiery Spice Powder
After you’ve placed a Feast but before anyone’s eaten from it, you can remove with a Serving Tray and it’ll go back to your inventory. But if anyone eats from it even once, removing the Feast will completely destroy it
In what has to be a minor bug, if you spawn a Feast using a console command, you’ll only be able to have a single one of them in a stack, but it will weigh 1.0 instead of 10.0
