Elsweyr Fondue is a melted-cheese dish named after the Khajiit homeland of Elsweyr, and the moon sugar in it is a nod to that origin. It is part of the base game, has a base value of 5 gold and weighs 0.5. For spellcasters it is the standout dish of Skyrim’s cooking system.
Effects
- Magicka is increased by 100 points for 720 seconds.
- Magicka regenerates 25% faster for 720 seconds.
Both effects last twelve minutes. Most food only restores a few points of Health or Stamina, so a long buff like this is unusual, and it saves you from opening the menu again and again. Mages can eat it before a dungeon to cast more and recover faster. It can also be combined with Fortify Magicka or Regenerate Magicka potions.
How to make it
Cook it at any cooking pot. One serving needs:
- 1x Eidar Cheese Wheel (see Cheese, Dairy and Baking Supplies)
- 1x Moon Sugar
- 1x Ale
Unlike most cooked dishes, it uses no salt.
Where to find it
Cooking it yourself is the reliable way to get Elsweyr Fondue. Every character knows the recipe from the start, so you only need the ingredients and a pot.
Good to know
Hearthfire gives the fondue a new look.
