[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8143609, member: 6801845"] Depends on how you want to resolve it. Like [USER=27385]@aco175[/USER] said, part of it could be gathering ingredients which could be it's own side-quest. If you don't want to do that (or in addition to), you can also add additional challenges to the meal preparation. One question: who is the judge? Because that could affect things. So some thoughts on how to use different skills Part of an impressive meal is presentation.
