The main thing that's been on my mind for a cooking rework is that there is no bulk scaling when cooking anything outside of maybe soup (which I don't know much about). I know and appreciate that the chef's job is more slapstick than it is real, but there's not hope catering to a 40+ crew if every recipe is per portion. Let me make big batches of stuff! I think it'd be okay if you could add n times the ingredients to an oven/pot and get n portions out (saving on cook time) but you could also tie the amount that an ingredient provides to its quality (mostly for botany atm but other categories can follow).
Naturally certain recipes scale much better than others, and I think that's perfectly fine. A giant pot of spaghetti sauce is a lot quicker to do than making tons of sandwiches one by one. (I am hoping someone will one day make like 40 haggises for dinner)
On the back end, a simple sorting algorithm that sorts the recipe list by number of ingredients automatically should fix every "X is unmakeable because Y with less ingredients is first in the list" type bug. Beyond that the conflicts would mostly come down to "X is unmakeable because Z with more generic ingredient types" comes first but IDK if that's ever an actual issue.
Oh also something that can be done immediately: guaranteed sous-chef slot above a certain server pop. It's kinda absurd to me that on 80+ players there's only one person at roundstart manning the kitchen at all and I think the sous-chef is a random chance right now?
