Heroes Feast: The Deck of Many Morsels (Deep Dive Review)
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Food has always been a major part of Dungeons & Dragons, both in-game and at the table . Over the past few years, we’ve seen a number of popular DnD cookbooks emerge that offer real world recipes inspired by the creatures, characters and campaign settings of the game.
Now, Wizards of the Coast and has just cooked up a brand new offering in the form of Heroes Feast: Deck of Many Morsels, a collection of 50 recipe cards that feature new dishes, as well as a menu previously prepared for the Heroes Feast and Heroes Feast: Flavors of the Multiverse DnD cookbooks. The new box set of recipe cards was released on October 1st, 2024 and is available now on Amazon.
So does this deck deal out a heaping dollop of DnD deliciousness? Below we slice, dice and shuffle up all the recipes.

What’s included in “Heroes Feast: The Deck of Many Morsels”?
The Deck of Many Morsels contains 50 oversized recipe cards that are inspired by the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. Each card is covered in a protective coating so you can use them in the kitchen without having to worry about spills or getting them dirty. The front of each card contains a photograph of the finished dish (each of which is made using real-world ingredients) and the back contains the recipe itself along with some related DnD lore. For example, The Wood Elf Forest Salad card includes the full list of ingredients and instructions, along with a brief history on the wood elves featured in both the worlds of Krynn and the Forgotten Realms.
Don’t stress about any tracking down any dragon scales or gnomish brandy though. All of the ingredients are easy-to-come from your local grocery or liquor store (if you’re of age) and range from full entrees to desserts and cocktails (the latter being similar to the recent Puncheon & Flagons DnD cocktail book). You also don’t really need any experience in the kitchen, with most of them being fairly easily to follow.
One thing to note, however, is that only 10 of the recipes are new to The Deck of Many Morsels. The remaining 40 are reprints of existing recipes that appeared in either Heroes Feast (which was first published in 2022) or its follow up Heroes Feast: Flavors of the Multiverse (which was published in 2023). That makes sense given that authorship of the The Deck of Many Things is attributed to Kyle Newman, Jon Peterson and Michael Witwer, all of whom contributed to the previous two DnD cookbooks.
Notably this new box set of recipes is based on the infamous Deck of Many Things, a campaign-shattering magical artifact that’s been a part of DnD for decades and was recently featured in the 2023 DnD product The Book of Many Things, which also came with a full deck of printed cards.

How much is “The Deck of Many Morsels”?
The new Deck of Many Morsels box set retails for $25.99 USD, which is comparable to the print versions we saw of both Heroes Feast and Flavors of the Multiverse. That being said, you can likely pick it up a little cheaper via online retailers or your local game store.
Typically, prices do come down a little after launch, and given that the box set only came on October 1st, 2024, you may want to wait awhile and see if you can get a discount in the months ahead.

Is the “Deck of Many Morsels” worth picking up?
If you’re thinking of picking up this new recipe box set, below are few thoughts you should let simmer:
Pros
- Diverse Recipe Selection: The deck offers a wide range of recipes, from appetizers to desserts and cocktails, almost all of which can be served up during your DnD game night.
- Easy-to-Find Ingredients: All the ingredients used in the recipes can be sourced from local grocery or liquor stores, making it accessible for home cooks without needing any specialty items.
- Fun DnD Lore: Each recipe is paired with interesting DnD-related lore that really does a great job connecting the food to the game world.
- High-Quality Presentation: The oversized recipe cards feature full color photos of the finished dishes, making the recipes visually appealing and easy to follow. They also contain a protective coating so you don’t have to worry about wrecking them while cooking.
Cons
- Limited New Content: Out of the 50 recipes, only 10 are new. The other 40 are reprints from previous cookbooks, which may disappoint fans who already own Heroes Feast or Flavors of the Multiverse.
- Less Comprehensive Than a Cookbook: While the cards are fun, the deck format offers fewer recipes and less depth than a full cookbook, which could be limiting if you’re looking for a broader culinary experience.
- No Digital Option: The physical card format might be less convenient for people who prefer digital cookbooks for ease of use in the kitchen (unlike the other two Heroes Feast books there is no Kindle or eBook version).
- Niche Audience: While DnD fans will likely enjoy the thematic aspect, casual cooks or non-DnD players may not find the set as appealing or useful.

Final Thoughts & Review Score
It’s great to see that the Heroes Feast DnD cookbooks are still going strong. In fact, in addition to this new box set, the books have also spawned a real world streaming cooking show of the same name. And while The Deck of Many Morsels isn’t a complete culinary reinvention, reheating a lot of the same recipes from previous books, it’s still a solid offering. The recipe is fun, easy-to-make and tasty, even if you don’t have any proficiency bonus in Cooking. In short, it’s a solid dose of DnD and deliciousness.
Final Review Score: 17 out of 20
