#### New creation interface for food/drinks so we can see the stats of what we're making

I know there is the variety bonus for foods and I guess drinks, but sometimes I want to make food/drinks for around a specific amount. In the current interface we have no clue what we're making as far as energy and mood are concerned unless we already know, even the info doesn't say. The only way to check how much energy or mood you get from an item is to make the food and have it around to look at.
I'd much rather see the stats of the food I'm making when I go to use a kitchen tool and then when I've decided to make it, click to make and see what ingredients I need.

- I think my wish is close enough to this that it's not worth making a new item. I'd like the food info blurb in the encyclopedia expanded. I was thinking just the energy/mood provided, but I wouldn't mind seeing it include ingredients and energy to make as well.

- Yes! Info on energy/mood would be a great part of the standard blurb. Since it's the primary use of the stuff, it seems like a good thing to have as part of the default info.

- Yes, that would be extremely useful

- For the record, the value of a food in currants = the amount of energy it gives you. I agree that the interface could be more helpful, though.

- That at least gives a short cut for food, but there's no such cheat for the drinks, which I could definitely use when I'm trying to figure out which drink to make.

- TS intentionally does not publish this info, to discourage min/maxing. Personally I'd like it listed, just sharing the info.
  What I really think is missing is the ability to pull from SDBs while the crafting dialog is open (or, better yet, pull stock directly from SDBs in your house / tower!)

- Well, it's not like it's unknown info, it shows up on the menus when you're picking what to eat or drink. So not having it in the encyclopedia entry is just annoying. I'm okay with having to go looking for the answer a little vs having it in the info screen while making it, I just want the encyclopedia to live up to its name!
