Feature description
Cooking: A new stat and set of items to gather, craft and consume.

Used to create food items. Food items will offer much longer duration effects (hours?) that are mainly for non-combat bonuses, such as increased exp gain rate, increased gathering rate, temporary stat boosts.

This allows them to be distinct from potions, which are about short term immediate effects for dealing with a particular problem, and require more deliberate use. Food would act as a passive complement to whatever you are doing.

This gives a meaningful reason to add more types of animals and plants to gather ingredients from, to increase the game's item and creature catalogue.
