Salem

Quite simple - you boil meat/fish/vegetables and water turns into broth that can be used in crafting more food like soups. Or you can just drink it for some boost.

Alternatively - a total cooking revamp where instead of "crafting" food items you "process" it - like chopping and sauteing vegetables and boiling meat to create some dish which depends on input components and gets a name based on what you actually created. A recipe book would describe steps like what should be combined to get a final dish but the intermediate products are created independently.

This would definitely add depth and complexity, turning Salem from Mortal Combat with corn into Mortal Combat with cooking.

+1 for broth, sounds like a great way to rescue some value out of large quantities of excess meat before it spoils (though we have no idea about the specifics at this point anyways)

It's funny that you should suggest this.

Oh, I am suddenly quiet eager for the upcoming change to meats.

Oh please do not change this I like to use the same cooking water over and over...

More vegetable recipes, yay for that. Make carrots useful please

And carrots are useful. They are a required ingredient in quite a few great recipes.

This is already in the upcoming patch.
