Does anyone know for The Perfect Chef, do the meals need to be prepared in order? Or just any order of the specific meals done perfectly three times each will work?
No they don't.

@KATENESS My chef cooked the meals out of order, and the badge triggered precisely when it was supposed to. I would point out, though, that sometimes a sim with the natural cook trait will autonomously "kick it up a notch," turning an outstanding meal into a perfect one, and I think that the resulting meal wouldn't count towards the total. So you might want to check the quality just as your chef is plating each meal. And your sim might need to make group meals, but I don't know for sure because that's all my sim ever made.
I'm not so sure the autonomous ones wouldn't count, because the sim is still in the "cooking" chain of actions. I know for a fact though that using "Kick it up a notch" after the cooking phase doesn't work regarding cooking perfect meals.
Digression: If your sim is hungry and you're running out of time, go to the fridge and have a quick meal but cancel the action. Then, have a "natural cook" sim "kick it up a notch", and then "add herbs". You'll get a "Great" or higher quality single portion meal ready in no time!
