One of my players started with a Cauldron, which has a +1 gear bonus to cooking. I was under the impression that you needed the Chef talent or an Inn to be able to cook, he doesnt have either, and it doesn't require a skill roll. So how can he use the cauldron and what does the +1 gear bonus apply to?
(My initial thoughts were that he could cook 1 unit of food for himself from anything foraged, hunted, or fished, but that is it. If he then picks up the Chef talent he would be able to cook d6 +1 units of food.)
