On islands you could find parchments - Food Recipes, in barrels or just lying around like the 'message in a bottle's. These Parchments will list some ingredients needed to make the food item. Once you have collected the ingredients you could deliver it with the Recipe Parchment to a new person in the outpost, possibly next to the bartender in return for some gold and the of course the food item. This could also add a new emmisary called "chefs" for example. And for example u can also buy food at the person "Chefs", but only existing foods like bananas, coconuts (or the recipes they have). The more reputation you will have with the emmisary the better recipes you will get, For eg. a soup recipe can have a better fish. You can maybe also find like new food items in barrels for example tomatoes, lettuce, cheese etc. An example of how the parchment will look like is attached!
Food Recipes!
@grumpyw01f Hey, so sorry about that. You see, we did not know that the posts are in chronological order so we thought us both posting will make it more chance of people seeing our idea. The other person has now deleted his post if that changes your view. Sorry again,

I think it's alright, but only if they ever made side effects to items (a potion update). With this idea, they'd have to make a ton of collectables on islands, and this isn't a survival game. Monster meat gives +100% health and +50% overhealth, so no recipe could eclipse the gains for cooking those. So the only real extra thing that could be added would be side effects, and in general no one really cares because everyone can do things pretty easily anyway.
If they made a potion update, it would make sense to have some sort of extra food system.
