The '''Chef''' [[professions|profession]] is one of the five professions unlocked in [[Hopeport]], in which player characters utilize [[Items|ingredients]] sourced from the [[Forager]], [[Fisher]] and [[Gatherer]] professions, as well as [[non-player character]]s such as [[Kevin]]'s [[Kevin's Ingredients|store]] and the [[Fishmonger]] to create different dishes in [[the Delectable Dab Kitchen]] using various cooking stations. Recipes for each dish can be located within the [[Chef Recipe Book]], and players can store ingredients in the [[Ingredients Bank]]. 

Currently, as food cannot be eaten by the player character, prepared dishes are instead favored as a source of money-making. This can be achieved either by selling excess dishes to the [[Head Chef]] within the Delectable Dab's kitchen, or from level 9 onward, players can undertake [[bounties]] from the [[Chef's Bounty Board]] to deliver meals to non-player characters around Hopeport, totaling four per hour, with no time limit on the delivery once accepted.
