Do we have a final word yet on if the resources of the components have any effect. Does it matter if I use garbage or caviar? The loss of experimentation for me means loss of personalization of my product.
If components are all created equally, there is very little manuevering room to be a good chef or a mediocre chef. They will be pretty close to the same I fear. But again, Ive not played with the stuff on test yet so maybe Im wrong but it seems that way. Tho I do understand what you are saying about experimentation SV. Perhaps if they made the final outcome of the component be treated by the system in a way similar to theflavorings.
If component experimentation isn't brought back, then BE comps become the real trump card in the cheffing industry. I agree with Nikii in that the range of food quality will definatley narrow. This is great for customers, but generally bad for chefs that cook with a lot of pride (ok, i've got cooking images of grandeur).
Looks like you nailed the big points Sir Vimes.
The stomach issue is a big one and I have to agree with a previous poster by saying that even 30 minutes is too long. It's a bit silly to place any type of restriction like that once the benefit wears off...at a maximum filling should match buff duration. Anything longer and you may as well add a downer...
Based on the information provided here in this forum, there are a lot of reasons to not like the initial pass of this revamp. With luck, the devs will actually come back from vacation in browntown and recognize that they can't pass off a half-thought and rushed revamp and either fix the shortcomings of the revamp or push it back and keep it on test until publish 7.
Of course...I just got back into the swing of things today...what do I know... 
The buffs we are getting are just notpunchy enough. Because of this, there is no real, significant change in the position that chef occupies in the SWG world. We don't have a renewed profession. We have swapped one set of buffs for another. I didn't wait since last summer for this.
That, for me, is the beginning and the end of the story.
The rest is just bugs to fixed.

Which I only mention, again, SV, because nowhere in your report did you mention that some of us are questioning whether or not these buffs, both stat and skill, are powerful enough. A change to the stomach time will erase some of that concern, but not all. Especially in the case of skill buffs which, if I understand correctly, are not stackable - and most of which are not really significant as they stand.

WEDDING CAKE!
Proper bonafide purty decorative multi-tiered wedding cake! (Especially after them making all that Friday-feature fuss about player events & player weddings)
oh and all those other things you mentioned too.
I doubt they'd be opposed to getting our "lost" schematics back.

does stomach empty apon death?
Right now, I pretty sure no.
But I disagree with that one.
I propose 15 minutes.
