How Food works in Skyrim?
Cooking is not related to or benefits from any skill but will allow players to turn raw ingredients into cooked foods that provides more and better effects when consumed. Cooking requires raw food to be combined at campsites, cooking pots and cooking spits. Baked foods can be made at the oven in a player-built kitchen added to homesteads through the Hearth Fire DLC.
Cooked and baked items each have recipe ingredients that are required to make them. The cooked or baked item is usually lighter than the sum of the original ingredients.
