More Recipes that are Harvest-able Specific.

idk I think I would need cooking overhaul because what would really help me use ingredients
is possibility to choose them myself like in ts2 where you could pick 4 ingredients to make a meal of any kind
and also you couldn't use ingredients you did not have so gathering would make more sense

idk where it went but id have much more fun cooking with it :confused:
it was always fun to see what meal it results to when you paired ingredients

100% agree we need a cooking overhaul. I love gardening and cooking in the Sims and it really bothers me that the ingredients don't feel like they have a lot of purpose right now.

I think we should have the option to make all recipes require ingredients, and that having all the required ingredients would mean you can cook the meal for free. In a similar way to how the florist bench works - if you have all the required ingredients it costs nothing to make the arrangement and you can sell it for a tidy profit. It would make rags to riches style challenges much more meaningful if you had to grow or fish for ingredients before you are able to cook.

Okay so I tried to find some savory recipe for just about everything...and by that I mean everythinggggg including things from Granite Falls and Vampire Lore. The fruit were hard..but I wanted something for them as the baking skill while nice just doesn't really seem worth it as your sim has to eat like three of what ever it is to get full so yeah...I don't claim to be a food expert and I looked up things to try and have variety you know? I even added in some spices from City Living. I know I didn't use Sage, Wasabi, or Saffron as I couldn't find anything with those ingredients...or I overlooked them...which is more likely as I am only one person and this is a long list....>M<

So does anyone have any thoughts? I'm open to idea's and I'd be happy to add any recipes you'd like to see to the list here (with credit to you listed of course)...I honestly don't expect any of this to be used...but I can dream darn it! >M<

I truly love your ideas and all these recipes sound amazing.
I like farm ( in this case garden) to table approach.

I'm very into the gardening system, but then I feel like a lot of the harvestables just sit around in the fridge without having much of a use. I'd definitely like to have more recipes calling specifically for them. And I also particularly like the idea of having more soup recipes and having them fight sickness.

Morning Simmers! i love your suggestions beville, i love playing sims and it would be nice to have more recipes and kitchen gadgets :)

Morning toramonger, this is a simmer friend, i just love your long list of vegetables and recipes! and if we ever get a farming pack your list i feel should be implemented into that pack, i know i would suggest it! great job :) :)

And by the way i bookmarked your list, because i know that it took you some time to create, again, great job it all sounds good :p

@Simmingal
-I never had Sims 2 so I never had the experience of playing with that system, but it sounds like something I would love! I have to say I would definitely like to see something like an experimental cooking skill, were you're sim didn't automatically magically 'know' all the recipes as they level up...I have to say I find that a bit odd really being able to have your sim 'figure' out how to make things would be fun, and I'd love to see something like that!

@Cinderellimouse
-I completely agree! I simply don't understand why some things still cost money even when you have all the ingredients! A good example, though its not produce related, is Fried Fish. Why does a recipe that only requires fish...and is only a simple plate of fish...still cost money if I in fact have said fish? Makes no since at all I mean...come on!

@Simzilla_7
-Thank you for your support! :D

@Chazzzy
-I'm going it no Mod's right now >M<

@beville
-hummm a lot of good idea's! since this is about ingredients I've added your recipes requests as follows to the list: for lasagna it is listed under Spinach as: Vegetarian Lasagna with mushroom and one herb as secondary ingredients, for waffles its listed under Pear as: Spiced Pear Waffles, ....you said more pizza...we have no recipes for pizza...at all...we have pizza take out...so on your behalf I added to the list: Cheesy Garlic Pizza Bread, Margarita Pizza (which included me adding Basil to the list of ingredients), and Caramelized Onion and Prosciutto Pizza. For sushi its a bit iffy...the sushi they have in game doesn't have a proper name so I have no idea if its a specific type sos yeah...I added under Avocado: California Roll with wasabi as a secondary ingredient, for chicken noodle soup I added sage and added: Sage and Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup, Chicken and Dumplings was added under Carrot with Onion and one Herb as secondary ingredients.
-I also added in the new produce, and new kitchen gadgets you'd like to see as I think they would be great for an ingredient farm to table overall type thing :D As for the other gadgets, drinks, and the TV channel I'd love to see all of it however I don't quite feel they got at the head of this thread but thanks so much for all the great info! :D
