I think.   What about summoning cooking or alchemical ingredients?   My instinct on these is generally no though as with the ice above I'm not actually comfortable making it a blanket no.

Further, it glows magical light 5'.   Most cooking or alchemical ingrediants would not be a single object - pepper, salt, leaves, etc. -- would typically be multiple objects. Even if you conjured a block of salt or a dead fish... the moment you smash it apart, cook it, or crew it (raw fish!).. it would have taken damage and disappear. Sorry... any food or alchemical ingrediant is going to disappear the moment you start working with it. Shedding light, no one is likely to eat it. And... it disappears within one hour anyway.   It is more useful in making simple equipment -- a rope, backpack, sack, pot, shovel, clothing, crowbar, etc. This can save you some weight as you have all your basic camp gear available. You can't really conjure anything which you plan on cutting, breaking apart, cooking, etc.

You can summon an evil (non-magic) pie, but cannot actually feed yourself or others with it.   Summoning liquids are fine, but read the power again: It either appears in your hands, or an unoccupied space. It goes a step further and says "on the ground"! So summoning liquid in a bowl does not work. Summoning liquid ABOVE a bowl (to let it fall in as a work-around) does not work. But then we're back at summoning things in a container. I think it's okay, but you may rule otherwise! But if they try to do mischevious things with the object, remember, it glows...

By extension, if any wizard can memorize his or her spellbook well enough to re-create it with minor conjuration, what purpose does the conjured spellbook serve?  The wizard already knows everything in it.
