Do you have Seasons?

Do you have Seasons?

Nope. And before I've updated to the latest patch it was 87%, if memory saves me right.

[JSBrantner]

if my memory is correct (and I'll check my own recipe list when I can to double check) you are missing Spaghetti with Veggie Sauce and Vegetarian Grilled Salmon.

[Ricalynn]

You seem to be missing the vegetarian lobster dish too.  They come when you level up so best way to get recipes is trading kitchen secrets or watching cooking channel.

[Leto85]

But my sim is level 10 cooking and supermaxed in it. So some recipes can only be learned by trading recipes?
I assume you would need the Born Cook trait for that?

It's because your sim was maxed cooking before you installed the expansion.  Some recipes come when you level up your cooking and if you've already leveled up than you're not going to get them.   Trading Kitchen Secrets might be a Natural cook thing but I don't remember.  Like I said - you can always watch the cooking channel to learn recipes.

I did some double checking, and I have all the expansion/stuff packs besides pets, fast lane stuff and seasons, but my chef is at 100% for the recipe count for which ones I do have. According to my list you are missing:

Tofu Dog (lvl 0), veggi rolls (lvl 4), spaghetti with veggie sauce (lvl 4), veggie burger (lvl 6), vegetarian grilled salmon (lvl 8 ), vegetarian dim sum (lvl 9) and vegetarian lobster thermador (lvl 10).

From what I understand (and I may be wrong) these all came with the Showtime expansion, which you seem to have since you have some of the other recipes that came with that expansion as well. None of the ones I listed are found in the bookstore though, only through leveling up. If you are not doing a dynasty or challenge with this Sim, you can use testingcheats to change her traits to give her the natural cook trait and then swap recipes with townie's.

Also, I was searching through the forum to see which expansion these recipes came with, and the ones you are missing seem to be the same ones you were missing when you posted this same problem in March. Unless you are using the same Sim now as then, it could be a glitch in your game. Something to look out for.

Leto, topics that deal with problems within the game itself go on the Miscellaneous Help board.  The Technical Help board is for problems with game mechanics like the game crashing or a problem installing a patch.  I'm going to move this thread to Miscellaneous Help.

I believe the option for trading kitchen secrets is just when you have a high enough cooking skill, no trait is needed, you just might need to talk with them a while before it comes up. I could be wrong, but that's my understanding of it.

My apologies. I could have known that if I had payed more attention.

Wow, what a list and what a research! Thanks for doing this.
Rica, I shall test out your method as well tomorrow. And of course I will report back here if I habeas found more.
Info that is.

Your active Sim doesn't need to be a Natural Cook to "Trade Kitchen Secrets." You need to find a townie who is both a Natural Cook and employed at a restaurant. To unlock "Trade Kitchen Secrets" talk about cooking and cuisine until you learn that the townie is a Natural Cook. Now you should have "Trade Kitchen Secrets" under the "Friendly" menu.

I think a great addition to the Guide would be a list of townies in EA worlds (both store and EP) who can be used to learn recipes. Natural Cooks with culinary jobs can teach your Sim any recipe, even WA recipes.
