Disney Dreamlight Valley is about exploring the world, making new friends, and engaging in events. During the Dreamlight Gastronomy quest, Tiana will host a cooking competition to teach others secret culinary techniques alongside Remy. As the resident hero of the village, it’s your job to ensure things go smoothly.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Dreamlight Gastronomy quest guide
You can start the Dreamlight Gastronomy quest after reaching friendship level seven with Tiana. Once you reach level seven and initiate the mission, she’ll tell you about her plan to host a cooking competition and ask if you can invite some villagers. You’ll begin by speaking to the following characters:
- Mulan
- Mike Wazowski
- Kristoff
- Anna
- Woody
After some brief conversations with them, you’ll find three of the five in Remy’s house. However, before Tiana can start the competition, she wants to teach the villagers how to chop vegetables and wash some herbs. Rather than showing off her skills, she wants you to do the honors.
Use your Royal Tools to prepare ingredients
Part of Tiana’s demonstration is chopping some potatoes and corn and washing herbs. In Remy’s house, you’ll see barrels of vegetables and plates of herbs to interact with. To complete this part of the quest, use your watering can on the herb plates and your pickaxe on the barrels before collecting everything.

Catch seafood for the boil
Next on the list is catching seafood for the dish. You’ll need two of each item from the following locations:
- Shrimp – Dazzle Beach
- Lobster – Glade of Trust
- Crab – Frosted Heights
Shrimp are the easiest to find, as you can find them in blue fishing spots in Dazzle Beach. Crabs appear in white and blue bubble spots, but you’ll need access to Frosted Heights to get them. The most challenging of the three is lobster, which spawns exclusively in orange bubbles in the Glade of Trust.
Taking these fish out of your storage chests won’t work. I didn’t get a chance to confirm whether Moana’s boat worked, but as far as I could tell, you have to get them fresh out of the sea. Using a hangout partner to get two at once also doesn’t work; you’ll need two separate instances of catching each seafood.
Making and eating Seafood Boil
Once you have your seafood, head back to Remy’s to resume the competition. The quest will remind you to have everything in your inventory before bringing the ingredients to Tiana. If it says you don’t have all the herbs or vegetable plates, make sure to double-check inside the house to ensure you picked everything up.

After delivering all five items, Tiana and the other villagers will make Seafood Boil for you to eat. Open your inventory and eat it to gain a burst of energy and advance through the quest. You can now guess who contributed what to the dish or let Tiana judge the results.
Gather materials to craft a Sandwich Board Menu
Now that you tasted some Seafood Boil, Tiana will initiate the second round: having everyone make their own food. However, you’ll first need to make a sandwich board and chalk using the following materials:
- Stone (15)
- Hardwood (20)
- Egg (5)
- Wheat (10)

Most of these are fairly easy to come by, and you’ll likely have some stockpiled by now. The only exception is eggs, which you can buy from Chez Remy for 220 Star Coins each. With every item on hand, go to any nearby crafting workbench to find the sandwich board under Functional Items. It’s time to return to Remy’s once more.
Judging each meal
Now that you’re back at the house, you can deliver the sandwich board to Tiana. She’ll reveal that everyone made some food, with Mike making Okra Soup, Anna making Fish Creole and Kristoff cooking Beignets. She’s so impressed by everyone’s effort that she’ll request you take some quick pictures.

Following a quick photoshoot, you’ll now have the chance to taste everyone’s meals and hear both Tiana and Remy discuss the results. You’ll also gain a significant energy boost, which can help you with other chores later.
After the conversation, you’ll get a chance to speak to each villager and give feedback on their meals before returning to Tiana and deciding on a winner. Whoever you pick here will become the winner, so choose carefully! Once you select a winner and place the sandwich board, Tiana will head to her restaurant and give heartfelt congratulations to whoever you choose, letting you wrap up and complete the Dreamlight Gastronomy quest.
