Vanilla Cookbook
by Roberto96
Vanilla Cookbook adds 16 new food recipes that use only ingredients already found in vanilla Minecraft, such as sweet berries for jam and fruit salad.
What it does
Each new food is crafted from items a player can already gather in the base game. Sweet berries, for example, make jam, a jam sandwich and a fruit salad. The meat sandwich is set to restore slightly more than a steak, since it uses more ingredients. The recipes were balanced against vanilla values, and the author notes the mod was tested little beyond that. The interface and item names are available in Spanish, Galician, German, Portuguese and English (UK). It needs Fabric API on Fabric 1.21.4 and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the code is open source.

What the author says
There aren't many food recipes in minecraft. So I decided to added 16 new food items! All new food items are made using the already ingame vanilla ingredients. They are new foods, like the Meat Sandwich, that is slightly better than Steak, since it uses more ingredients.
