Well, after reading all of the suggestions from players to the devs about needed changes. I thought of some great ideas for the chef profression and food an drinks in general.
1. QUESTS:I looked through some the Star Wars literature of foods and drinks, I was brainstorming some and thought of some really neat quests. There is one drink called Alderaan Ruge with the description: a very rare and expensive liqueur. Wouldn't Alderaan Ruge be a great reward item as a schematic for players to get. And since it is rare, give ita property like Resurrection? Perhaps another quest is for a rich nobleman who wants a great feast. Perhaps you have to create a dinner for him with various items and if heis pleased...perhaps a badge, and some other goodies are the reward...
2. CONTENT: For more content, I think each NPC cantina in the galaxy should have its own set of drinks and foods. Although, they should not compete with chef made foods, perhaps they could be given some minor attributes, like a buff +20 to action for 2 minutes, or something humorous. Perhaps bartenders couldgive new schematics to chefs too via quests. And don't just have the quests be find Joe and give him this or find Joe and bring him back... Right now the cantinas have a mix of buffless drinks some of which have the same name of chef made drinks. I think these duplicates should be removed.
3. IMPROVED USES: Also, it seems that all we do is grind to Master Chef so we can make only 2 or 3 foods and never or rarely make any of the other ones. Perhaps a good solution to this is to have players have toconsume a combination of foods and drinks to get the desired buff or result. Also, I was thinking that a player has the option of mixing two foods. Maybe something like one Vasarian Brandy + one Spiced Tea creates this or improves that. Maybe have it experimental where who knows what you will get?! 
4. BRING BACK WHAT WAS TAKEN AWAY: As I have said before they need to bring back: meatlump, wastril bread, charde, fried endwa, stewed gwouch, puk, fire stew, patot panak, ramorrean capanata, braised canron, xermaauc, puff cake, para roll, nanana twist, wedding cake, ryshcate, corellian fried ice cream, glazed glucose pate, sullustan gin, bantha blaster, kylessian fruit distillate, tatooine sunburn, cortyg, aludium pu36, antakarrian fire dancer, ice blaster, skannbult likker, double-dip outer rim rumdrop, tranna nougat cream, and angerian fishak surprise. Again with space, combat revamp coming, and new speciesI am sure these30 can fill some niche! Maybe have sullustan gin give a benefit to our Sullustan friends?
5. GRAPHICS: They need to bring back the old graphics that were deleted. Now the old graphics do not have to go with their former counterparts, but the old graphics should be brought in to replace some of the duplicate graphics. They old graphics are: old Bivoli Tempari, old Durindfire/old Deuterium-pyro, Meatlump, old Crispic/Fried Endwa, Corellian Fried Ice Cream/Tranna Nougat Cream, and the new graphic for Ice Blaster (yes Ice Blaster was given a new uniquegraphic although one could no longer craft it). Now without again deleting any graphics,give us variation. Can the color be at least different? Won-won, caramelized pkneb, chandad, citros snowcake, felbar, gorrnar, pyollian cake, and vagnerian canape all have the same graphic. Couldn't Won-won perhaps get the old Bivoli Tempari graphic? The old Bivoli Tempari looks very much like a wookie dessert to me! Also, couldn't the color of the plates or the rolls themselves be different for exo-protein wafers, dweezel, havla, travel biscuits, almond kwevvu crisp munchies, blap biscuit, and sweesonberry rolls. I think either Deuterium-pyro or Durindfire should get its old graphic back. Also for drinks, have each drink at least a different color. Again, the Ranch at Tatooine has many graphics that should be used for some of the foods and drinks. Since the code is already made, why not use it?
6. ERRORS: Adumari Beer, Eyeblaster, Jawa Juice, and Jawa Beer have the same description (bioline). Bantha Blaster and Bantha Blood Fizz have the same description. Desert Bloom, Utozz (Imported), and Vasarian Brandy have the same description. Vayerbok and Sith Scorcher have the same description. Charde and Ardees Beverage have the same description. Caf and Hot Chocolate have the same description. Milk and Blue Milk have the same description. Lopez Softdrink and Cortyg have the same description. These are obvious errors. Lopez Softdrink has as its description: A stong alcohol produced by wookies...lol It made sense for Cortyg but not Lopez Softdrink!

I completely agree..with most of it. One thing though - I would love to have new and different foods to make, but I don't necessarily think we don't have enough. I currently have 30 different different items stocked (plus two versions of a few), have one more in demand that I need to start stocking and there's at least 3 others I am planning on keeping stocked eventually. They don't all sell as well as the staples of course but they do all sell. I mean compared to say armorsmiths... we have the ability to sell a pretty large variety.
Note: Some of the foods are artisan foods, but I don't necessarily differentiate the two.

Yes, only 30 chef foods were deleted in the revamp, none of the artisan foods. I mean adding a few new artisan things may be interesting too. I noticed that some of the resource containers have been changed. They look really nice. I think some of the identical foods should get new graphics or at least colors. I really want to see the deleted graphics though. You can see them on this website:

A great site for posterity! Although, the site doesn't have some of the broken schematics or milk items and strangely enough none of the components... I took some screenshots of various pre chef revamp foods and drinks. You can view them here:

This is really fun stuff. Man this game rocks! I love the variety!
