Whether you’re gunning to be the next top chef or just feeding a hungry household, mastering these dishes can make a big difference. Here’s a lowdown on getting those pizzas and waffles just right.
Essential Appliances for Home Chefs

Waffle Varieties and Special Recipes
There are 11 different waffle types to explore, ranging from breakfast classics to unexpected dinner treats.
Special Waffle Recipes
Heart’s Desire Waffles: A mix of pomegranate, batter or flour, with an egg or milk can spice things up with a flirty moodlet. Perfect for a romantic brunch.
Pleasantly Unpleasant Waffles: Made with batter or flour, trash fruit, and strawberry, these waffles are a gamble. They might make your Sim happy or not so much. It’s a surprise!
Pizza and Focaccia Varieties with Unique Effects
With 17 pizza varieties, there’s something for every taste. From the simple Margherita to the adventurous seafood pizza, choices abound.
Special Pizza Recipes
Artful Focaccia: This isn’t just any focaccia. Made with flour or dough, veggies, and herbs, it’s a work of art that gives a Focus moodlet for four hours. Level 9 cooking required.
Curious Pizza: Adventurous Sims will love this one. Made with flour or dough and mysterious alien fruits, it’s a flavor adventure that comes with a focus moodlet and a twist for those with the “Get to Work” expansion.
Ingredient Preparation and Shelf Life
Fresh ingredients are key. Whether it’s veggies for your focaccia or toppings for your pizza, freshness elevates the dish. Remember to refrigerate what you don’t use right away; ingredients don’t last forever.
Economic Considerations in Cooking
Looking to turn a profit? The Curious Pizza can bring in some serious cash, thanks to its high base cost. But be careful with that pizza oven; it’s a bit of a fire risk.
Cooking in The Sims 4 isn’t just about filling up those hunger bars; it’s about creativity, strategy, and sometimes, a bit of risk. Whether it’s the romance-boosting Heart’s Desire Waffles or the intriguing Curious Pizza, there’s plenty of fun to be had in the kitchen.
