Chef
Chef is a crafting discipline that focuses on food and dyes, which are useful to all professions. Chef is unique among crafting disciplines in that it has no discernible tiers. Crafting requires the use of a crafting station.
Master chefs[edit]
Speak to any of these NPCs to become a chef and to buy crafting supplies. Swapping active disciplines costs 10

Production[edit]
Chefs can learn these types of recipes:
Recipes require ingredients which are purchased from vendors, gathered, looted, or crafted. Some food may only be obtained during special events or festivals. The full list may be found here.
For desserts and meals from rating 100 onwards, recipe sheets for feast versions of them can be made in the Mystic Forge. Feasts are items that, when placed in the world, grant a food buff to all who interact with them.

At Master rank, chefs can craft gifts that are used in the Mystic Forge to craft special weapons.

Seimur Oxbone Is it true? People are talking about you. Chefs, mostly. They're saying you're some kind of rising culinary superstar. I know talent when I taste it, so why don't you cook me a Chef's Tasting Platter and I'll give you my professional opinion. With my help, you can attain greatness! I'll be waiting near your home. Chop chop! —Seimur |

- Primary article: Ascended feast

Seafood Dinners[edit]
- Aside from a handful of collection items, up until the End of Dragons Expansion in 2022, there were no fish-related recipes or ingredients for Chef. This was because Linsey Murdock hoped to introduce them alongside a fishing activity. As of 2016 there were however no plans to add fishing to the game.[1]
- Fishing has subsequently been revealed to be a feature of the End of Dragons expansion.
- Since the release of the End of Dragons expansion there are now different recipes for Sushi and Fish Dinners (see Fish (consumable) for more info).
