Just what it said. Create food has been talked about, but I can't find it in any book. Is it there, or are people just remembering 3rd ed?

There isn't one that I'm aware of. I could be wrong since I'm away from books but I was under the impression that Nutrition works more like the Stim spell than a vending machine.

Nutrition, page 170 SM and Sustenance power, page 179 SM.

They don't actually create food, but they satisfy food needs in the case of Nutrition, or make what little you have go farther, in the case of Sustenance.

Create Food was in SR3.
It created a nutrituous tasteless grey gruel.

Which is, colloquially called, Soylent Green!

Just make the spell up.

Goes against RAW. Street Magic, page 160 in the side bar of "The Limits Of Sorcery", the second to last entry "Sorcery Cannot Create Complex Things". If you can't use magic to create something as simple as a hammer, what makes you think it could create something as complex as a hamburger. IIRC these same limitations existed in SR3 as well.

When I first read Stahlseele's post, I first thought to the D&D spell of the same name that did just as he described (created a tasteless yet nutritious gray paste).

Nope.
SR3.
Magic in the Shadows page 147.
Create Food.
Additional Net hits can be used to improve the quality of the food.

So yes, with enough Hits you could conjour a Pizza out of thin air!

I can see why it was never recreated in 4th (at least from the material I have). To me it breaks the limit of sorcery that I mentioned. Otherwise, if I can create a pizza from nothing, why can't I create something simpler like a hammer or a gun? (comparing the variety of chemicals, nutrients, vitamins and minerals, etc. that are in a pizza to a simpler form of solid iron for a hammer)

It's a spell that led to many problems, it's better left missing.

Spirit Wealth-Power still there?

Yes, in both temporary and permanent forms.

Given that transmutation is fine (turn to goo, petrification etc), a create food spell could work by transmuting air into pizza.

So there is precedent still

A loophole!

A delicious loophole!

Aren't those sustained, not permanent? I wonder what happens if you eat it and then it stops.

Presumably, goo and calcium carbonate are 'simple' materials. If salt is food, then yes. (All standard 'Goo is awful' comments also apply. )

And a bit chewy . .
