So I had mods installed, I removed those. Tested it on an entirely fresh playthrough, still happens. I've tried repairing my game multiple times, I've deleted the localcache file, etc, etc, etc.

At first he just wouldn't cook the party meals (I thought it was maybe a glitch that I wasn't having a party so he couldn't do that). Now he won't even cook family meals. He won't cook at all on his own, ever, although he used to keep the family flush with meals! 

I've also tried deleting the fridge and stove and buying new ones, traveling to a different lot. Nada.
