Make any food recipe possible

I have seen Core Keeper, I don’t know if they make everything manually, but in effect you can combine any 2 ingredients to make a more powerful one. Possibly allow players to create their own recipes, maybe with a consumable recipe item, and then they combine multiple ingredients, and then the AI could generate it (name, image, and random stats). The user could then sell that item from their shop/apt. These could be quite rare, required #1 recipe consumable, #2 ingredient consumable. You could then stack multiple of them. For example if the consumable ingredient has a stat of armor, and u use 3 of them, the craftable item would be an item with tons of armor (again, with some RNG, could be more or less, so people using same recipe would have slightly different stats).
