Chef’s Trick

Description

Swamps are not known for their wealth of appetizing foodstuffs, but there is one herb whose culinary utility outdoes virtually all others. Resembling a small length of sugar cane, this herb is magically adapted to change its flavor to anything its consumer can think of, causing it to become highly valued by less talented cooks looking for a shortcut to their shortcomings.

Effect. As an action, you may crumble and sprinkle it over an edible item such as a meal or drink while thinking of a flavor. This flavor can range from something vague like ‘sour’ to something specific such as ‘a roasted chicken seasoned with oregano.’ If you do so, that item tastes like the flavor you were thinking of. A creature that consumes this item may make a DC 20 Wisdom (Perception) check to notice the artificial flavoring in it.
