Gastronomy Works
by BluSunrize
Gastronomy Works, a NeoForge addon for Immersive Engineering, adds food recipes that depend on industrial processing such as mixers and bottling machines.
What it does
The addon adds a set of cooking recipes, including bread rolls, sourdough bread rolls, milk bread, a cake topped with custard and canned mixed stew. Several of these foods are made with machines rather than by hand: dough is mixed, poured into molds and baked, so a complete production line is needed to make them.
Players who enjoy automation will find the recipes most useful inside a factory setup. Immersive Engineering is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Gastronomy Works. The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.20.4 only, with its latest file, 1.0.0, dated 2024-06-09. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Industrial bread recipes
Bread rolls, sourdough bread rolls and milk bread are produced through a mixer and molding steps rather than a single crafting grid.
Custard cake
A cake topped with custard is added as a machine-processed dessert recipe.
Canned mixed stew
Mixed stew is prepared and sealed in cans using the bottling machine.
Production line baking
Dough moves from mixing to molds to baking, so the food chain depends on the factory machines it uses.

Use cases
Automated food production
Players building factories can route ingredients through mixers, molds and ovens to produce the added foods at scale.
Food variety in industrial worlds
Survival and modpack worlds that center on machines gain a range of baked goods and canned meals beyond the base game.
Who it’s for: Players who run factories with automated food production. Server owners should know that the mod is required on both the server and every player's client.
How it compares
Immersive Cooking & Farming is a Forge and NeoForge addon for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, released under the MIT License and open source, that works on both client and server. Engineers Delight is also available for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.19.2 – 1.21.4, under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and not open source. Enchanted Bread is a NeoForge mod for 26.1.2 only, client-side only and under All rights reserved, so it is not a server-side addon for factory food production.
