Can we get an overhaul to cooking already?
As you know, Fishing and Gardening have had overhauls/updates where they significantly improved (at least in my opinion) both skills. With cooking, currently, the food quality does not make sense! ...

I agree there should be more difference between the food skills, and between cooked vs quick meals. regarding ingredients, TS2 had an (overpowered) bonus to hunger fulfillment for using fresh ingredients, but a moodlet would probably be better in TS4?
Something about the cooking skills that bothers me is that, when 'Baking' skill is present due to GTW, basegame/other ep cakes and pies are still part of 'Homestyle Cooking'. I feel like they should get recategorised if GTW is installed! (especially as someone who irl can bake decently and cook not at all)
It also annoys me that all City Living recipes are level 1 recipes? like a samosa is a bit more complex than a BLT! I get that its so sims can learn the recipe regardless of their skill level when they eat it, but maybe eating CL foods could add the recipe to their future level-up-recipe-gains, or have a popup like in Dine Out, 'sim would've learnt this if they had level X cooking/baking/gourmet skill'.
