@gertie47 Maybe you can have a sim join their household briefly to make the food for them, someone with low or no cooking skill. If they have friends or family in the neighborhood, you could temporarily add them to the household without cheating, and then remove them from the household when it's over, and imagine that they invited a friend over to participate or to help teach how to cook. Or imagine that they are truly such great cooks that they couldn't remember how to make a meal low quality, and needed help with that. If they don't have friends or family with low/no cooking skill to temporarily add to the household, it's not cheating but might feel a little cheaty but you could make a new sim in CAS, saying that it's a friend who's moved to town or some relative visiting, add them to the household, have them cook it, then decide if you want to keep them in the household, remove them and have them move into a different house, or remove them and have them as a kind of townie for your sims to see around now and then as their relative. Hope if this doesn't help that you figure something out. Good luck! = )
