@ptrsknnr122 Please move your entire Mods folder to the desktop, delete localthumbcache.package, and test.
i got the same issue,
i deleted all mods and repaired the game.
deleted localthumbcache.package.
both new houses on the cottagelife map - cant cook on both.
@GroberUnfug0815 Can you cook if you buy a new stove and counters, or if you move the existing ones elsewhere in the house? Please test both.
@GroberUnfug0815 What lot traits do these two lots have? If they're "off the grid," you would need to use appliances that work off the grid or else install solar panels or wind turbines to generate electricity. I haven't checked out the "simple living" lot trait yet, but I believe it comes with its own restrictions.
And just to confirm, can your sims cook on other lots?

I just bought and installed Cottage Life and Dream Home Decorater. I also bought Cottage Life for my friend's birthday.
Today we both tried to play (she is using a mac, and I'm using PC) when we attempted to cook at the fridge. We have counters, a stove and nothing is obstructing the way. There is also nothing hanging above the stove.
However, when clicking on the fridge > cook, all options are greyed out. I thought maybe this was a new thing so I had my Sim learn level 1 cooking. Still unable to cook (even a garden salad). My friend is having this same issue.
We ironically both picked the two bedroom home from the new map for cottage life.
I attempted to fix the issue by leaving the lot and coming back. It was not successful.
I attempted to reset each sim in my household (there are 4, two adults and 2 children). This also did not work.
I restarted the game, this did not work
I right clicked and attempted to repair the game. This also did not work.
Does anyone know any solutions or what we're doing wrong? I saw we can get groceries delivered in cottage life, is that required to cook now? (Which would be quite annoying to be frank).
Any help or tips/tricks are appreciated
My friend, I believe has all the expansions.
I only have: Cottage Life, Seasons, Pets, and Discover University.

I didn't realize there was already a thread. I don't have any mods in my game (to my knowledge?) but I can't cook at all. It's quite frustrating considering I was really looking forward to playing this game on my day off. Now I can't cause all my sims will starve.
I had this problem, too. I turned the "Simple Living" lot trait off and all is well.
I’ve noticed that this issue occurs on some lots in the cottage living expansion map.Check if you can cook in other lots in the same map.When i switched my lot,my sim was able to cook,but the previous lots still had the same issue.I hope they fix this in a later update.
@HugaMufasa and @Grimson8 What lot traits do the affected lots have? "Off the grid" lots can't use appliances that require electricity, and "Simple living" lots have restrictions as well.
