Quest Start: Another Cook’s quest

The feast
Recipe for disaster consists of 10 subquests where you have to free individual council members from the culinaromancers’ grasp.

Start the testing by adding one dose of the first color to a spicy stew and give it to Evil Dave.

Repeat this process with every color until you know the correct amount of doses of each color.
Once you know the correct amount, add all of the ingredients to 1 spicy stew and give it to Evil Dave, he should say this is the correct evil stew.
