Now We're Cooking

A kitchen novice takes a bite out of a flavorful new hobby.

This is the hobby story for the cooking hobby.

Starting Dialogue
Your sim: I’ve always wanted to learn how to cook! Seems like a useful skill to have to impress friends or survive during an apocalypse.

"Your sim: That went great! I'd eventually like to be able to make a big dinner for all my new friends. With practice, maybe I can learn how to make more than just sandwiches and open-faced sandwiches."

Starting Dialogue
Your sim: Alright, first things first! The ultimate test of my current culinary skill: chips and guacamole! I usually just open a bag and a jar

Ending Dialogue
Your sim: I’m doing pretty well! I’ve made things using both a pan and a pot. Go, me!

Griddle Twiddler
Your sim: I've got some old family recipes I'd love to try out now that I'm a bit more certain I won't blow myself up in a whipped cream explosion.

Long Practice Session
Your Sim: I’m starting to get the hang of this! I remembered to turn on the oven and managed to make some tasty things with minimal fires.

Starting Dialogue
Your sim: This cooking thing is going so well! Maybe someday I’ll even be able to spell “hors d’oeuvres.”

Ending Dialogue
Your sim: Delicious! I’m kind of glad I’m not sharing my culinary talents with friends yet so I can justify eating it all. Tough life!

Starting Dialogue
your sim: I still have a lot to improve, but I’m feeling more adventurou. I’m not afraid even to use the broiler. Thanks for your help!

Ending dialogue
"Your sim: My dishes are tasting pretty good! I've come a long way from when I thought Pecan Sandies were cookies made from real sand."

Starting Dialogue
Your sim: An amazing thing happened yesterday: I cobbled together a few ingredients from the fridge and they tasted great. Progress!

Ending Dialogue
Your sim: Im pretty proud of myself for being able to create dishes from scratch. Gone are the days of old takeout box scavenging!

Starting Dialogue
Your sim: I’ve been following some pretty advanced home chefs on Simstagram. I’m daring to attempt one of their recipes!

Ending Dialogue
Your sim: Holy guacamole! Not only was I able to replicate a Simstagram recipe, but mine looked just like the photo!

Starting Dialogue
Your sim: One benefit to cooking my own food is that now I pay way more attention to my ingredients. No more powdered nacho cheese!

Ending Dialogue
Your sim: Cooking has become as easy as pie! Now if only making pie was actually easy.... I still need some practice with desserts.

Starting dialogue
"Your sim: I'm ready to start trying out my own recipes. All this practice is paying off! Thanks to you, I even know what paprika is."

Ending Dialogue
Your sim: My confidence in the kitchen is booming. I’m sure I could cook up a big feast for my friends now! I’ll dedicate my first cookbook to you!
