A revamp on recipes and the culinary skills
The same way they revamped the gardening skill and the whole gardening system, I would love a bit of a revamp on the whole feature, also for the team to introduce new recipes that are very common nowadays and would include the newer ingredients if you happen to have whatever pack. For example we should have an avocado toast as a base game recipe and if you have JA you could use the avocados for it.
With the inclusion of new recipes and harvestables with each pack along the years, recipes haven't been updated and are not cohesive nor inclusive.
There are several examples of it like no tuna needed to make a tuna casserole, or the vegetarian bean burrito that came with CL but then when beans were introduced as a harvestable with JA that recipe didn't include them at all.
With Seasons we got green peppers, green beans, and peas but not a single recipe calls for them specifically. Also, I found it was a missed opportunity to not add honey as an ingredient of the ham's grand meal or other recipes. It's a shame that we can only use it for the honey cake and for a drink (as far as I can remember).
In OR we got morel mushrooms but these can only be used for the herbalism skill and in very few recipes (if I remember correctly), which is a shame because they are delicious irl.
In Vampires we got garlic and it would be awesome to have it feature in more recipes (does the garlic noodles recipe even call for them?) since it's such a basic ingredient in most cuisines.
This revamp should also have vegetarian sims in mind and label the JA recipes correctly as well as making sure at least one vegetarian option is available in each food stall. Sometimes, I would take my vegetarian sims to the city or to a festival and nothing would be suitable for them.
For the baking skill, I would love to be able to bake things without having the ingredients, just paying like the way it works with the normal cooking skill.
I would also like to see more gourmet skill recipes in the future.
What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions regarding this? Do you pay attention to this at all?
It's personally one of my favourite features and I would love to see it improved and revamped.
