Vindicator Chef and New Cauldron Purpose

What if you added the Vindicator Chef, a Vindicator variant from Minecraft Dungeons that attacks with a Ladle. You could make them spawn in the Woodland Mansions and drop Ladles upon death. Now for the Cauldron. What if when water is placed in a cauldron and when the cauldron is under a campfire, food items can be put in there and mixed together into a soup, mixing the Hunger, Saturation, and Effects given from the combined food. But they must be stirred together by the ladle to mix. This addition to Minecraft can allow the players to be more creative in their food choices, Players could try to make the best food for PVP, make foods that they feel matches their builds (Ex medieval foods for a castle), and experiment by trying the many new kinds of food.
