I think you hit the nail on the head! The idea of stackable plates and pots is great! Or maybe the addition of a "cooks chest," similar to the crossbow case, that holds a large number of the utensils that you need ? I love the idea of expanding the cooking guild but it really should remain attainable by F2P players. Making the kitchen more useful is also a terrific idea! I am relatively new to the game so I don't remember the "good old days" but I still have noticed how the cooking skill is marginalized by fishing. I like to cook potatos and ugthani kebabs for myself but there is absolutely no market for them. I remember when I first started out that I could not understand why everyone wanted lobsters when cakes healed more. The whole 1 bite vs. 3 bite thing took a little getting used too :) . I don't think that the answer is to split the cooking skill. I think they should just alter the hp you get from different foods. Raise the hp for baked foods and foods that take more than one step, lower the hp for fish. The idea of adding other stat boosts has merit but by itself it will not really address the problem. I also think that it should be easier to get some ingredients. Not that I want everything to be easy but it really is a pain to make flour and butter. Jagex really should streamline that process a bit by adding a "Make X" option. Do you get cooking xp for grinding flour or milking a cow? I don't think so but given as much time as it takes you really should.
