Can't learn Island Living recipes

My sim has not either, but she gets a cool confident buff saying it's an Old Recipe

@smurfy77 hmm...didn't notice the buff. Thanks ☺

Not sure, my sim has maxed skill, but wasnt there something about culture? I havent noticed anything to learn that, maybe thats something

I have only been able to cook them on the new pit that came with Island living. The in the ground one.

Once you eat them, you know them. To cook Island recipes, you need the Sulani Volcanic BBQ Searer found in Appliances>Outdoor Cooking. It took me three sim-days to figure it out.

Unless I'm wrong, the pit only allows you to cook the kalua pork and island vegetables. I thought my sim could learn how to cook poke LOL I had her eating that thing 3 times a day for days trying to figure out why she can't learn it!She has the child of the islands trait too

Have you tried learning the recipe with Sims that have the island trait? Idk if that’ll work.

Maybe they are already unlocked? And not like in CL? Sims can already make Kava drinks without having to learn how to do them. I know that some stalls sell food that you can make on grills, but I have seen something like "tropical vegetable dish" and I think that's a new one.

In regulara worlds I'm had sims with 0 cooking skills get the learned to make notice, so it's not skill level dependent. What is skill related is how well they make the food item in question. Sounds like one more bug/glitch in a pack that seems full of them.
