Right now there are some recipes (bone broth for one) where the amount of food gained and happiness gained is very slim compared to the amount of time spent cooking it. Compared to just cooking plain meat in a few minutes and eating it the cost/benefit analysis seems skewed. It would be cool, if it doesn’t already, to make high levels of skill make cooking faster, or perhaps “repeat crafting” add a speed bonus for a short time.
Really I just want to do something with these 400 bones and not have it take two days…
