Chef's Plate

1st-level (divination; arcane, divine, protection, utility)
Class(es): Bard, cleric, sorcerer, wizard
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Touch
Target: A single serving of food or drink
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

You instantly learn the ingredients list and preparation method for the item of food or drink targeted by this spell. For one hour after you cast the spell you retain perfect, detailed knowledge sufficient to perfectly recreate the serving of food or drink, including an accurate awareness of any contaminants (including vermin and poisons, but not disease) in the fare. Identifying such contaminants as harmful usually requires a DC 10 Perception check, but may be higher depending on the rarity of the contaminant (a DC 15 for those uncommon, a DC 20 for those rare, or a DC 25 for those truly unique). If preparing the food requires specialized expertise (such as intricate decorating skills or master-level knife work) you do not acquire these abilities, merely the knowledge that, if you had them, you could reproduce the food item. If you have a medium to write on, you can create an accurate recipe during the hour you retain the knowledge of the food or drink.
