To you food is more than just sustenance and pleasure. A great meal is art that brings people together. You might have worked in a tavern, a bakery, as a personal chef to a noble family, or within a military unit as they marched to war. Decide what kind of cook job you had or roll on the table.
Something called you away from full-time cooking to the world of adventuring, but you still take pleasure in the craft. Still preparing and cooking food is a big part of who you are how you communicate with others.

Feature: Through Their Stomachs
You are able to earn a comfortable living during your downtime by working as a cook. At the same time you are able to feed your adventuring companions modest meals each day for free. You are also able to use your talents to arrange meetings with anyone interested in a free meal. By offering to a cook a free meal for someone who would appreciate it (at the DM's discretion), you are able to get a meeting with him or her over that meal.
Suggested Characteristics
Just like a sculptor understands clay, you understand ingredients. You might be a bit of a snob when it comes to what you eat, or any dish, even that which others find vile, may fascinate you. Years of selling your edible creations made you a salesperson able to please any tough customer.
