Sims will cook food but not eat it. They'll just continually cook and never eat.
That was already happening for a lot of people. I "stay on it" and cancel their action when they go to make a second meal. Then I send them to eat what they've already made and put away any extras. I always send them to get leftovers before they get too hungry. Doing it like this, I'm having very little problem with the cooking.
Although I did briefly play the Landgraabs recently (only because I wanted to increase their money and get them to start a restaurant) and they - especially Nancy - would NOT stop going outside to the BBQ and just cooking, cooking, cooking on the grill. I was mainly playing Malcolm, so I wasn't controlling Nancy. And there were darn hamburgers everywhere.
It's very annoying. There is a bug post about it here that we can press "Me Too": https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sims-cook-but-don-t-autonomously-eat-cook-more-eat-quick/td-p/9724949
