In Enshrouded, Food and Drink occupy different buff slots, so you can keep one food effect and one drink effect active at the same time. Potions use a third slot. Choose meals for Health, regeneration, or weapon damage; choose drinks mainly for Stamina, Mana, and resistance. Do not eat raw meat, raw Azure Russula, raw Yellow Shroud Mushroom, or raw Fae Deer Milk: these items inflict -75 Stamina and -4 to -5 Stamina Regeneration for 45 seconds instead of helping you.
Using the database
Station requirements are important because the recipe may need both a survivor and a workstation. A Cooking Station handles many basic grilled foods. A Farmer and Kitchen are commonly required for soups, wraps, curries, and other prepared dishes. The Almanac of Plants and Seedlings unlocks several Farmer recipes. Use a Seafood Grill for fish and crab, a Coffee Brewery for coffee drinks, and a Drying Rack for dried fruit. A recipe marked “yields 5” creates five servings from the listed ingredients.
- Food, Drink, and Potion effects do not replace one another.
- Skewers are prepared by crafting the raw skewer and cooking it at either a Campfire or Cooking Station.
- Skewers and fish cannot be placed on a coaster or food plate; the source indicates that other dishes can.
Penny Bun is the current name for the mushroom formerly called Red Mushroom.

Raw food penalties and incomplete entries
The unsafe raw list includes Raw Lean Meat, Raw Wolf Meat, Raw Game, Raw Bird Meat, Raw Dune Armadillo Meat, Raw Fatty Meat, Azure Russula, Yellow Shroud Mushroom, and Fae Deer Milk. Cook these ingredients before consuming them whenever possible. The source also names items such as Buttermilk, Calla Luna Soup, Cooked Rice, Gloomberry, Sushi, and several cakes and mushroom dishes, but does not provide complete effect and duration data for those entries. They should not be assigned values without additional information.
