D&D Clerics have always been able to do this. It's surprisingly useful to have a friend who can create food & water from nothing during extended dungeon dives. :)
You would think that the expenditure of magic energy would outweigh the energy gained from the food but hey, it's magic. I usually think about these things in an RPG setting when it comes to conjuring food stuff from a mage.

In DnD conjuring food and water is usually some form of divine magic (from a pantheon like a Cleric's god or from pagan nature spirits like Druids), which sort of explains the energy problem away, 'though unintentionally.
Flavorwise, creating food and water is treated as some sort of miracle instead of applied magic since it's a common miracle in real world mythology as well.

When using the Druid skill I often put the mention of '-after praying to the Nature god X for his/her blessing during this long, arduous path to justice, a divine messenger shaped like Y animal appeared in front of the party, in its mouth are a small bucket filled with Z amount of food.' so often the GM can already guess and skipped the lengthy monotone. Harrupmh.
Not to be a buzz-kill, but I thought it was "transmute rock", and it doesn't work on stoned characters since they're technically magic, not rock.
Most D&D spells don't play that well with each other, for the sake of preventing spell casters from destroying the fabric of the world.
Or at least I think. I've never played.
Stone to flesh has a duration of instantaneous, so there's no ongoing magic, and the petrified creature is therefore NONmagical (well, unless it's a magical construct or something). The rules are written very carefully in this regard to prevent simple dispelling of most petrification effects.
Now, transmute rock to mud also specifies "natural, uncut or unworked rock". but the petrified creature IS rock and IS technically neither cut nor worked. It is probably nonnatural, but the wording states "OR", so fulfilling any one of the above conditions is enough.
To my shame, I can't remember the name, but there was a rather excellent anime series where the characters were witches and one of them made pancakes in a rather elaborate but frankly beautiful way. Musta been almost a decade ago.
