Home Chef Hustle Positive Thoughts Thread

One thing I've just noticed... I was a little confused when my Sim, who's maxed out Cooking, was unable to make Heart's Desire Waffles or the Pleasantly-Unpleasant Waffles. Once she'd made some batter with the mixer, she got the option to make those recipes. There was a similar thing with the pizza oven, where she was unable to make the Artful Focaccia or the Curious Pizza. So I'm guessing, for some reason, you need pre-made batter/dough for those recipes, unlike the other recipes (for level 8 Cooking and below) where you don't have to have the batter/dough. Has anyone else noticed the same thing??
edited to add: seems like you also need the prepped veggies for the Artful Focaccia. I don't know why those two recipes require you to have all the ingredients on hand, whilst the others don't.
