Hello! I'm Cat (any pronouns, they/them preferred) and I create mods, usually improving and fixing existing gameplay and implementing missing cross-pack integrations.
The market stalls, especially the food stalls in The Sims 4 are ...
lacking.
It isn't much of a problem on residential/rental lots, especially if a sim has the cooking skill, or if a sim isn't vegetarian or lactose-intolerant, but it presents a problem when that's not the case.
This mod intends to fix that. Market stalls, bars, and cafeterias will have their menus overhauled to include recipes from updates and other packs besides the one that the stall came from (custom recipes pending). Now, Sims (including vegetarian and lactose-intolerant Sims) will have a wider variety of food to choose from.
Installation Instructions
Unzip the file and drop the folder into your Mods folder. REMOVE any packages in the FoodDrink_Recipes folder if you do not have its respective pack (EA recipes) OR if you do not have the custom food installed (custom recipes).
Suggested Mods
My Don't Waste Food mod allows Sims without the Selvadoradian Culture skill to finish their entire meal when ordering Jungle recipes.
Prefer a more alpha/realistic gameplay? Check out qmBiBi's overhauls.
Over time, EA added a variety of regional recipes and market stalls — except they didn't care to integrate any of them. This mod fixes that. Initially, this mod was just going to focus on the missing recipes, but as there are multiple market stalls (even non-food ones) that could use improving, this mod was built from ground-up to be expansible.
The first release of this mod focuses on the above problem. Dishes that were added via SDX and updates were added to their respective food stalls, as well as recipes from other packs (looking at you, Weddinhg Stories).

City Living
Wedding Stories provided us with new Chinese and Indian recipes and, while City Living recipes were available at the Tartosa food stalls, Wedding Stories recipes were not. Additionally, the developers seemed to have missed the Vegetarian Butter Chicken recipe and the Lunar New Year SDX recipes were nonexistent.
Snow Escape came with a wide variety of Japanese recipes. For the sake of brevity, I only added food types that are not already repesented in the menu (Maki, Onigri, Yakisoba) and a vegetarian option for one already represented (Ramen).
The Mexican food stall has some recipes from Jungle Adventures and the Latin American cuisine SDX. As I am not Mexican, I had to do research to confirm if a recipe was in Mexican cuisine and I welcome feedback from more knowledgable Simmers.
Similarly, the Morrocan food stall has recipes from Discover University and the Arabic cuisine SDX. I welcome feedback from anyone more knowledgeable on Moroccan cuisine.
As the kebab stall seemed to be more of a pan-Arabic cuisine, I did not add the Moroccan dishes from City Living.
Kebabs
Knafeh*, Zaatar Manaeesh*
Get Together: Pita and Hummus Tapas*
Snowy Escape
City Living's selection of Japanese recipes is heavily limited in comparasion with Snowy Escape's, so there weren't many recipes added to the menu. For consistency's sake, I only added recipes already represented on the menu.
In addition, the Festival of Light has Pufferfish Nigiri.
Traditional
City Living: Dango, Nigiri
Mountain Food

Festival of Light
City Living: Dango, Nigiri, Pufferfish Nigiri
Festival of Youth

Festival of Snow
City Living: Dango, Nigiri, Ramen
Jungle Adventure
The food stall for Jungle Adventure appeared to be pan-South American, so I included all the recipes from the Latin American cuisine update and the Brazilian cuisine update, including drinks. It did not seem to include Mexican recipes, so only one recipe from City Living (Empanadas) was added.
As Sims tend to waste food when they get the "Overwhelming Flavor" buff, I suggest my Don't Waste Food mod.
Food
Acaraje*, Asado*, Brigadiero*, Chimis*, Chimichurri Skewers*, Chripan*, Churrasco*, Hallacas*, Pinchos*, Pollo a la Brasa*
City Living: Empanadas
Luxury Party: Ceviche
Drinks
Caiprinha*, Coquito*
Wedding Stories
As mentioned above, Wedding Stories stalls already integrated City Living recipes into their menu. I only needed to add the recipes from the Lunar New Year update and the Vegetarian Butter Chicken.
This one was slightly harder to choose for as it's essentially a sampling of multiple cuisines. I didn't want to flood the menus with every regional recipe available, I decided to go with a recognizable recipe from each of these cuisines: Brazilian, Korean, Middle Eastern, and Polynesian.
I plan to update this stall continuously as EA adds more recipes.
All mods here are too small to warrant individual posts, most of them only modding one or two resources.
Mod List
Base Game
Cooking Channel Skills
In an unmodded game, Sims only learn Homestyle Cooking from the Cooking Channel. This mod enables them to learn Gourmet Cooking and Baking while watching.
Get To Work
Clean Displays
The display shelves that come with Get To Work can only be cleaned by retail workers. This mod removes the retail worker requirement and allows all Sims to to clean.
High School Years
Immediate Locker Deco
In an unmodded game, Sims not only have to walk up to change locker decorations, but they also can only change their own locker. This mod removes the ownership requirement and makes it an immediate interaction.
Jungle Adventures
Don't Waste Food
In an unmodded game, Sims with insufficent Selvadoradian Culture skill will stop eating Jungle dishes. This stops that by making it so that sims won't recieve the "Overwhelming Flavor" buff responsible for this. The buff still exists in-game, but won't be available without cheats.
