Suggestion: Spells Added To Food
It could be argued, perhaps, that food crafting is one of the least beneficiary crafts. Sure, it's fun, but when you think about it the effort put into the craft does not meet the product gained; unless in a merely RP value. High end craft food such as pies no longer hold the same value they did when only a few could make them, and with the recent addition of the Special Drinks vendor at Stormcrest, everyone can buy the drinks that it would take a cook/brewer time and effort to gather the materials for and finally make.
This is why I suggest the following: Higher end foods casting certain spells.
It could be like a poor man's alchemy. Certain higher end foods on use could cast things such as a low end Version of Endurance, or the other enhancement spells, Dragon's breath could be added to say, Firewhiskey or other such drinks...
Other Spells that could be added to food:
Iron Guts
Sleep
Prot. From Alignment
Ghostly Vistage
Invisibility
See Invisibility
These are just raw ideas, but I think it would increase the value of higher end crafted food, and make the effort put into them equal the result.
