We have blue milk (completely redundant item), vagnerian foc/will [food], brandy m/foc/will for mind stats;
We have Accarragm [drink](great item imo) for a/q/sta;
Then we have these seemingly incomplete, near the mark, almost, but not quite worth while making,foods:
Kiwik Clusjo for q/sta
Won Won for str/con
And finally thefoods that make you wonder if someone ran out of ideas and needed some fillers (forgive the pun):
Ahrisa for focus (entirely redundant)
Gruuvan for str
scrimpi for quick
Seriously who will ever make any of these last 3 except for a nice vendor showcase window?
At the same time I see people queueing up (yeah single file lines 10 deep) for Doc for 15k a pop in coronet.
I had become doc so I wouldnt have to stand on lines or wait for wound healing
I became chef so that I wouldnt have to stand on lines or wait for buffs
For hardcore pvp you might need 3k+ hp in all stats but for the average player somemodest food/drink ham combos would be a refreshing addition to the game.
Atm I can make 2 of the 3 items I consider the best chef items: brandy, accarragm and garrmorl.
I consider garrmorl to be comletely dependant on ingredients that make it impossible as a consideration for consumption and marketability. So you can trash that one as far as I'm concerned.
Leaving aside for the moment the snowcake, thaktillo, veghash, granlinyn, synthesteak, which are all good practical items I'm still left with the feeling that chef is not what I envisioned embarking on it.
Keep the casks, keep the barrels, keep the plates, trenchers and troughs. I'd like to see an item that can modestly boost my stats evenly and practically so that I can survive in the wild w/out joining the buff parade in coronet every 2 hours.

As long as buffs can stack, there will always be a market. Most players want every advantage on their side so they will use performers, chefs, smugglers, and docs to buff their stats. IMO, chef has become a great buff profession. Yea there are a few tweaks but overall I am pleased with the outcome.
