Disney Dreamlight Valley’s A Rift in Time expansion features a wealth of new content for players of the charming life sim, introducing an all-new area, Eternity Isle, and a plethora of new materials, ingredients, and even a few new friends to discover.
In the Isle’s Glittering Dunes biome, players will encounter Beauty and the Beast’s Gaston, who refuses to deign himself to such mundane tasks as finding food and water necessary for survival. As tempting as it may be to leave Gaston to keep himself company in the sands, befriending Gaston has a very beneficial outcome: unlocking exclusive new cooking ingredients.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Unlock Gaston (Diamond In The Rough Quest)
Dreamers need to solve a couple of puzzles before unlocking Gaston in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Players who have purchased A Rift in Time can complete the quest “Center Of Attention” to unlock Gaston’s Meat Stall and gain access to new meat ingredients including Pork, Poultry, and Venison. Players will occasionally need to prepare dishes using these ingredients as gifts for characters, to complete duties, and even for Gaston himself at one point. Here is a full list of all cooking recipes that use meat ingredients in Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time.
All Meat-Based Cooking Recipes in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Players can purchase three different types of meat ingredients from Gaston's Meat Stall: Pork (250 Star Coins), Poultry (500 Star Coins), and Venison (1000 Star Coins). This comprehensive list of recipes includes all Appetizers and Entrées that feature Pork, Poultry, or Venison as one or more of its ingredients. There are currently no Dessert recipes which include these ingredients. Meat ingredients and their recipes are available only to players who have purchased Disney Dreamlight Valley’s A Rift in Time expansion.
Gaston's Meat Stall will sell three ingredients at any given time, one which will be available in an unlimited quantity (either Pork or Poultry), and two ingredients of which only 20 can be purchased. It is possible for the same meat ingredient to fill two of these slots, or for a certain meat ingredient to not be sold at all on a given day.
Any recipes which can be made with the player's choice of an ingredient in a specific slot, known as a "versatile" ingredient slot, can affect the energy restored and the selling price of the dish. For those recipes, we have placed a "+" after the energy and Star Coin values as these will depend on the ingredient used.

How to Unlock Gaston’s Meat Stall
