Making a cook character (lemm.ee)

One if my players wants to make a character that's all about beig a master chef. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to do that. He found a custom cook class online, but it's very convoluted and not beginner (which we all are) friendly. Now we're thinking how we could just take a normal magical class and (quite literally) flavor its abilities (having verbal components food-related maybe replace certain material components with, like, truffles and caviar or whatever).

I'd also be open to give him one or two fitting special abilities that could be useful under certain conditions, as long as it's still balanced, or use feets or something. Does anybody have ideas and suggestions?

Ah the culinary artificer. It all started with banging rocks and sticks together. That's how I discovered cinnamon and my life changed.

I'd suggest this http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/artificer:alchemist

And just give them double proficiency or advantage on anything to do with food.

I'd like to stick with the PBH, since I don't have the extensions' books. I was think, maybe we could use the Bard. Bardic Inspiration, but with food sounds like fun. And Gordon Ramsay quotes for Vicious Mockery.

The double proficiency thing definitely sounds like a good idea, thx!

If you go Bard, instead of handing out a Bardic Inspiration die, it should be Bardic Inspiration pie.
