Copying and pasting from SciGuy's FAQ, because it pains me to see a blind, helpless man with broken fingers struggling to figure out how to grind.

QUOTING:

Chef is an elite crafting profession; you can't just jump straight into it. First, you have to take Novice Artisan, and then go up the "Domestic Arts" branch. Once you learn Domestic Arts IV and then earn an additional 19200 general crafting xp, you may train Novice Chef. (Domestic Arts) uses the same General Crafting xp as all the other Artisan skills. The fastest way to earn Artisan experience is to grind out crafting tools or survey tools until Engineering III, followed by personal harvesters. Each harvesters give 425 General Crafting xp, 446 in practice mode.

What gives the best xp?
Novice Chef: Soypro, 10 cereal, 10 vegetable, 80 xp (84 in practice mode).
Desserts I: Pastebread, 20 wheat, 10 oats, 10 water, 160 xp (168 in practice mode).
Entrees I: Synthsteak: 20 vegetables, 20 cereal, 5 hide, 180 xp (189 in practice mode).
Desserts III: Kiwik Clusjo Swirl: 40 berries, 20 fruits, 20 water, 260 xp (278 in practice mode).

One trick to get faster xp at Novice is to actually create the soypro (don't use practice mode), then after you've made up a bunch, eat them all. Soypro is a component, so it has 0 filling, and you get UXP for eating the last dose of your own food. So instead of getting 84 xp by grinding in practice mode, you'll get 120 by crafting and eating it.

The simplest grind path is Soypro -> Pastebread -> Kiwik Swirl. I just threw in the synthsteak in case you happen to have a bunch of hides lying around and already have Entrees I.

What resources will I need? For soypro, vegetables and cereal. For Pastebread wheat, oats, and water. For Kiwik Swirl berries fruits and water. To get from Novice Chef to Desserts I by grinding soypro in practice mode requires making 391 soypro, requiring 3910 vegetables and 3910 cereal. If you do the "craft and eat" method (getting you 120 xp instead of 84), you will make 267 soypro requiring 2670 vegetables and 2670 cereal. To get from Desserts I to Desserts III grinding pastebread requires making 610 breads. This means you will need 12200 wheat, 6100 oats and 6100 water. To get from Desserts III to Master Chef grinding Kiwik Swirl requires making 2464 swirls. So you'll need 98560 berries, 49280 fruits, and 49280 water.

So, the total grind resources are:
3.9k vegetables
3.9k cereal (any type)
12k wheat
6k oats
98.5k berries
49.3k fruits
55.4k water
