Food Crafting seems imbalanced (time vs value)

[cearka]

agree with OP. I have all crafts at 50, and I rarely used culinarian because really, it's a huge pain in the ass.

I'd also like to see them add something to the crafting log to indicate how many items a craft makes, as this is something kinda unique to culinarian (well alchemy too, but that all comes in 3's).
I decided to make some Finger Sandwiches or something the other day and Iooked at the ingredient list and saw walnut bread. This was followed by rage and cursing.
So I had to go make the ingredients for walnut bread, completely forgetting things like butter comes and 5's or whatever, and I end up filling my inventory with way more crap then I need. Terrible when your OCD.

It... does tell you. Above the ingredients/durability/whatever there will be a number on the picture of the item you are making that indicates how many will be created. Table salt says 6, butter says 5, for example.
