Oh, edit: I thought that was a link to this feat:
The Gourmand is the finest of chefs, able to produce foods so wonderful and invigorating, that it helps to heal and protect those who eat.

I'm putting this one back here in case it was missed. What are people's thoughts on it. Seems a bit too powerful to me but I'm curious. I like that you actually get to roll your tools to make things happen.
So far I'm going to go Half-Orc and, tentatively, the Gourman UA feat at 4th. Or just a +2 wisdom.
Skills are: Intimidate,(Half-Orc); Persuasion and Insight(Guild Artisan). Survival, Nature(Druid).
Str: 8; Dex: 14 Con: 15 (+1 at 4th with the feat); INT: 10; Wis: 16; Cha: 12
The UA Gourmand feat looks cool but, hopefully, I'll get something out of that expertise. How often do you make cooking rolls?
Also, thanks for all the feedback so far. To comment on a few other posts: I'd considered Firbolg but I dropped it. Variant human is probably a good choice, mechanically, but it lacks flavour I'm looking for. Unless I model him after the Swedish chef or something.
rp-wise, I'm thinking of playing him as a 'nothing goes to waste' kind of druid. Every part of everything gets made into something. I kind of wish D&D let you take more tools. tanning tools and brewing tools would fit my idea well.
