Default Organizing food information

I'm in the process of gathering up information on food effects and recipes, as well as icon pictures for each food in game. However, I have a few questions.

I notice there is a Catagory:Food set up. Should each individual food have it's own page? As a forewarning, there are 35+ foods just in mixing. I have no problem working on individual pages but there will be a lot. Not to mention that most ingredients can be eaten by themselves and also have stats.

If we are going with individual pages for each food item I'll go ahead and create a style guideline for the page set up since a table for a food will contain much different information than the general item table I've seen.

My original plan was to set up a page for each different method of cooking (mixing, baking etc) with a master list of sorts, all food item tables organized on their respective method page. If we're doing individual pages, I could create a page for each method that's basically a links page to each individual food. This however, has the flaw of separate pages that need to be updated each time a new food is added. Would a subcategory for each method work? Then, for example "Cheese Bread" would be Category: Food, Category:Mixing"

I think it's important to organize the foods by ease of both users. People wanting to eat food need a way to search for specific items, or even specific stats (that's a whole other organization I'll get into eventually) but cooks also need a way to look them up by method.
