A chef knows how to prepare meals for groups of people. The GM may or may not require skill rolls to prepare meals, depending on the situation. For example, if one of the adventurers has chef skill, it is generally assumed that the character probably prepares most of the meals for the group most of the time and no skill roll needs to be made. The GM might require a skill roll if the group had to hunt and/or forage for food or if there is something unusual about a particular event that might call for a roll. At higher ranks (rank 6+) the character can prepare gourmet meals. This skill can be used as a source of alternate income between adventures.
A chef can also estimate the worth of culinary rarities (spices, cooking utensils, cookbooks, exotic foods, etc.).
Tasks include preparing a meal where the skill bonus is (rank x 10) + ((INT - 40) / 2), as well as general knowledge of foods, spices, cooking procedures, etc where the skill bonus is (rank x 10) + (Education x 3).
