Cook's treat
In cookery, a cook's treat is a portion of the prepared ingredients not served as part of a dish, but which is nevertheless tasty and enjoyable and may be eaten by the cook.[1][2][3]
Examples might include a chocolate brownie that is cosmetically disfigured but otherwise edible, or unused portions of cookie dough. These treats give the chef an excuse to test the food before serving it to whomever it's made for. Typically, the Cook's treat is not the reason someone chooses to cook, but it's related to the idea of perks and fringe benefits.
