Magical Cookery (5e Variant Rule)
From D&D Wiki
Magical Cookery[edit]
With this rule, characters with proficiency with the Culinary Tools and a set of Culinary Tools may spend a long rest preparing food with minor magical properties. Creatures who eat this food during the long rest gain magical bonuses, and a good meal. A list of dishes is listed below, along with the required ingredients. A list of ingredients is also located at the bottom of the page, along with their price, the likelihood of them being buyable, and how difficult it is to forage them. Up to 3 dishes can be prepared during a long rest, but magical food loses its magic if not eaten during the same long rest it is cooked. A dish's effects last until the start of a long rest. A creature can have more than one magical Cookery effect on it at one time.
Dishes[edit]
Dishes are cooked using one or more Ingredients. They serve a specific amount of people per dish. They bestow a semi-magical effect on creatures who ingest them. Small creatures only need eat half a serving, whereas Large creatures must eat 2 servings to gain the benefit. Tiny creatures do not impact the number of servings remaining when they partake of a dish.
