=BotW Food Page Organization Ideas= I think all of these sections are important, and should be kept somewhere here on the wiki. I'm not against moving some of the portions to another page, or the whole section to a specific cooking page though.

Layout
I think the layout should read like this:
 * Ingredients
 * Explanation of eating uncooked, doesn't provide boosts...
 * Table of Ingredients
 * Fruits
 * Vegetables
 * Mushrooms
 * Flowers and Herbs
 * Misc (Dry-goods, dairy, nuts, honey, etc.)
 * Meats
 * Red Meats
 * Bird Meats
 * Seafood
 * Fish (including snails, which are considered Fish in recipes)
 * Crabs
 * Critters
 * Frozen and Open-Fire Cooked Foods
 * Explanation of Frozen Foods
 * Table of Frozen Foods
 * Explanation of Open-Flame Cooked Foods
 * Table of Open-Flame Cooked Foods
 * Cooking Pot Foods
 * Explanation of using Cooking Pot
 * Table of Cooking Pot Foods
 * Base Recipes listing only required ingredients, summarized when possible (like "Any Crab") Note: No Hearty/Energizing/etc. recipes unless they can't be made without (like Hearty Salmon Meunière), all added on one table
 * Explanation of Elixirs
 * Table of Elixirs
 * Food Effects
 * Boosts
 * Explanation of Effects (Hearty/Energizing/etc.), stacking of durations, and leveling (low/mid/high).
 * Special Cooking
 * Cooking During Blood Moon
 * Cooking with Fairies

Cleanup
All special recipes (Hearty/Energizing/etc.) listed are already duplicates of a basic recipe except these:


 * Hearty Salmon Meunière
 * Energizing Glazed Meat
 * Energizing Honey Candy
 * Energizing Honeyed Apple
 * Energizing Meaty Rice Balls
 * Spicy Mushroom Rice Balls
 * Spicy Sautéed Peppers
 * Electro Herb Sauté
 * Mighty Meat and Rice Bowl
 * Mighty Meaty Rice Balls
 * Tough Meat-Stuffed Pumpkin
 * Sneaky Seafood Skewer
 * Chilly Fruit Pie

I think this list can be reduced down to these, which should be added to normal list. Then all special recipes can be removed. This will cut the page size down significantly.


 * Hearty Salmon Meunière (there is no un-hearty salmon)
 * Energizing Glazed Meat (requires honey, honey is Energizing)
 * Energizing Honey Candy (requires honey, honey is Energizing)
 * Energizing Honeyed Apple (requires honey, honey is Energizing)
 * Mushroom Rice Balls
 * Spicy Sautéed Peppers - (peppers are spicy)
 * Herb Sauté
 * Meat and Rice Bowl (I think this requires salt, makes it different from Meaty Rice Balls)
 * Meaty Rice Balls
 * Tough Meat-Stuffed Pumpkin (pumpkin is tough/fortified)
 * Seafood Skewer
 * Fruit Pie

Also, on the cooking-pot recipes, I think the effect column should be removed. Since there are so many combinations of ingredients that produce variation in the results, this column is usually inaccurate. Unless there are base-recipes (having their own name and image) that always produce the same amount of hearts and other effects, I suggest it be removed.

More fixes/improvements

 * Add Fairy (Special or Misc?)
 * Boost Icons for each effect.
