Chef

Combine different food ingredients to make new, exciting dishes (yes, potions, use your imagination - a liquid diet, perhaps).

Be charitable and deliver meals to the beggars. Either deliver "pre-made meals" (potions from food), or be nice and set a plate with food on it for them, maybe with a beer. Place some food in their food bags, next to their bedrolls.

Deliver your famous food to the local inns and pubs, or hotels. Sell it to the proprietors.

Dress in lower-middle-income clothes, like most food providers do in Cyrodiil or use the Apron Of Adroitness.

Do you use store bought ingredients, or do you buy it directly from the farmers? Do you hunt your own free-range meat? Decide this by where you are operating: for example, if you are at a roadside inn, you can pick food from local farms. If you are running a bar in the Imperial City, it's better just to buy from local food providers.

Combine this with Store Owner and set up your own pub or bar! You could even have the Adoring Fan as the bartender, and the guild members that you can control be the patrons and customers! The power of the console can be used to actually enable you to own a shop and rename it whatever you want to, along with redesigning it to fill it with chairs, food, plates, etc. Take the private room upstairs and use it as your room: place your things in there and sleep there during the night.

You can also pretend you really are making a meal instead of making potions. If your new inn/pub has a fireplace, drop meat along with some vegetables in a bowl, then place it in the fireplace for a few hours to create a pot roast. If you are using a bonfire, put food items in the bucket. After everything is set, wait for the right number of hours, then remove the "cooked" items. Remember, different types of foods cook for different lengths of time.

You could become a really famous chef and cook for the counts and countesses. Use the castle kitchen and prepare your meals all day in the fireplace, and chop veggies on the tables. When its close to dinner time bring the food to the dinning hall and place it on the plates, then grab a few bottles of wine from the wine cellar and place them on the table. You can use the castle chef as your assistant. If it is lunch time bring up a plate to their throne and place it next to them or on a nearby table.
