Sounds to me that you have the simple living trait on. If you turn it off, it should work just fine. But if you want to keep it you have to buy all the ingredients or grow them yourself. It's a little more challenging but it's fun for something different and more realistic.

I gave a Sim the lot all the way in the back of the new world (the 'secret' one all the way in the back) and he cannot cook anything on the stove, grill anything outside, nor does he have anything in the fridge. All options for cooking/grilling are greyed out. It's not an off-the-grid lot--his lights, tv and stereo work, so what gives?
