Cook Random

Requires XML Injector

Adds new pie menus to fridges, stoves, and grills to cook a random recipe. When selecting this pie menu on fridges and stoves, you can choose to make either desserts or meals, select any dietary restrictions, and pick the serving size. Your sim will then start cooking any food in their skill level that fits the criteria. Desserts and grill recipes can only be made as servings of 8. There is also an option to cook something completely at random without any criteria. Recipes with required ingredients have been removed from these interactions so your sim will never randomly decide to make ambrosia or something.

Most of the recipes in the game are tagged for both lunch and dinner, so I didn't include much difference between times of day, but if you select from this menu between 4 AM and 10 AM, your sim will make something tagged for breakfast. This only affects options under the meals section of the pie menu.

The way this mod chooses a recipe at random is through an Autonomous Crafting interaction, although it's only ever triggered through the interaction you select rather than being truly autonomous. For some reason, the group recipes for garden salad and spaghetti are disallowed for autonomy, meaning they would never be available through these interactions. I haven't found any other recipes with this issue if they exist, but I have included an optional override of these recipes which will allow them to be selected by this mod.
