THE GOOD: The class makes for a semi-magical melee combatant, using "recipes" as boosters to attacks with various effects like elemental damage, condition infliction, and even a bit of healing or self-buffing. Chaining meals together sacrifices flexibility for enhanced effects as the chain progresses. The class also gains quite a few little side benefits like fire resistance, resistance to poisons (and the ability to ID them with a small sample), a bite attack, silvered weapons, a swallow whole attack, the ability to prepare Heroes' Feast, and resistance to slashing weapons (from knicking yourself so much). This is great for friends of mine who get bored from constant seriousness in games and want things a bit silly, but still playable. It looks to have a good mix of clever, usable mechanics and enough novelty over the levels to keep them from being bored with it.

THE BAD: It has a lot of editing mistakes. Abilities and items are referenced by names that are just slightly off, sentences are incomplete, capitalization is inconsistent on the class table, and the occasional word substitution creeps in. The PDF is understandable and useable, but the mistakes are distracting. The class also breaks Pathfinder convention by having a D10 hit dice and a 3/4 base attack bonus; it might have been better to have a d8 and a hit point bonus ability if having more hit points was a priority. I'm sure they could have made the ability hilarious.

OVERALL: A class I'm happy to have, and a purchase I'm quite satisfied with. A pass through an editor would probably make this the shining example of how to do a Pathfinder parody class with flair.
