expanding, duplicating, or otherwise increasing quantity has nothing to do with transfigureation, transmorgification or polymorphing in any way, shape, or form.
it can simply be done by hyper-cellular mitosis (done by hightening and de-limiting the metabolisim. You can do this with a few bio-chemichals if you know what ones) however for meat this may require some degree of necromancy, assuming you are trying to grow an un-cooked steak. magiscience proves wizards are dicks every time.

The magic doesnt simply 'create' new matter, it modifies existing matter so that the molecular configuration is suited to the desire of the witch or wizard.

Actually you can't conjure food out of thin air (or multiply it). Hermione tells Ron about it in The Deathly Hallows when he complains about being hungry. You can only summon food you already have stashed somewhere. Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, bitches!

You CAN increase the quantity. Learn to read.

I never read the books, but I assume the curse from The Deathly Hallows that multiples Beatrix's treasure is in the book. Even is you can't use the curse on food you could buy it and ship it with all that treasure.

**Sunburn rolled a random image posted in comment #1575665 at MLP Friendly Board ** The object in Bellatrix's chamber was non-consumable. The curse you're thinking about was the 'Gemini' charm, and I'm sure that there's something written somewhere about it being able to multiply objects, just not consumables.

They talk about this in the 7th book, you can't create food magically but you can make more if you have some already.

I think maybe because once you digest it, it turns back to whatever it was originally or something

You can't create food with magic, neither can you multiply it. You can, however, transport it from one location to another, that's how they make the food "magically" appear on the table, they don't create it, they already made it "manually" then transported/teleported it to the tables.

Ofcourse, I guess you could use magic as a helping hand when makig the food, to move the food arround etc. but you can't create food from nothing.

They can multiply it. When Ron was complaining about the roast Pike fish he, Harry, and Hermione were eating, Hermione says something along the lines of, "...You can't just create food out of thin air. You can summon it, and you can increase its quantity."

Here I looked it up

Page 293 In Book 7 of Harry Potter

"It's impossible to make good food out of nothing! You can Summon it if you know where it is, you can transform it, you can increase the quantity if you've already got some ----"

quanTITY
And then Ron goes on to say

"Well don't bother increasing this, it's disgusting."

Well I just remember you can'r create food (and some other things, don't remember) so I just assumed you couldn't multiply it since it's allmost (AllMOST) the same..
