The Sims 4 Culinary Career
Rewards for Chefs and Mixologists
The Sims 4 Culinary Career has Mixologist and Chef Branches to Choose
Career Quick Links
In the Sims 4's Culinary Career Track, you'll get to choose whether your Sim pursues the Chef or Mixologist branches. Both feature their own rewards but have a couple of things in common. Primarily, the Ideal Mood for the beginning levels of the Career and either Branch is Inspired. These Careers do not give amazing special abilities, though both can Write a Book about their Profession. It is primarily helpful to join to allow your Sims to make money from these low-earning Skills.
How to: Culinary Career Cheats
Press Control + Shift + C then type testingcheats on and press enter. You can now get promotions with careers.promote culinary - you can also see all Career Cheats or visit a full list of Cheats in The Sims 4.
The Creative Trait is helpful for both branches, as it helps Sims to randomly get Inspired, which can stack with other bonuses to get the Very Inspired. Taking a Thoughtful Shower is one means of getting Inspired before work, as is 'Browse Art' on the Computer. If you have Outdoor Retreat, a 6h Inspired Moodlet can be attained from Cloud/Stargazing and is one of the best means of making a Sim inspired at time of writing. Here are the requirements of the first few levels, before we discuss the individual Career Branches:

Chef Career Rewards
This Career features higher pay than Mixologist, and you'll get one of the best Refrigerators in the game, free. If you select this Career, be sure and take the Master Chef Aspiration from the Food Category. Level both Cooking Skills by making meals over and over. The experience gains for making higher level dishes are huge, so leveling will not be an issue for you - especially with the Inspired Moodlets put off by the Reward objects.

Mixologist Career
The Ideal Mood for this Branch is Inspired, as stated earlier. All Career Rewards here give off Emotional Auras that help your Sim to be Inspired, which helps them make high-quality Drinks. Additionally, you'll get one of the best Mixology Bars in the game. Level Mixology by practicing bar tricks once you've got a few levels - it's much cheaper and more time-efficient than mixing drinks. Practice your Sim's Charisma by using a mirror to 'Practice Speech' while Confident (brush teeth), and you'll level quickly.

but that will probably not happen in sims4 just like with pets and season :(
This is why I came to this guide! Lol
Awesome guide, btw.
personally i highly recommend that so people who want to cook fast meals can do such, and people grinding the cooking skill can choose the very, very, very long meals.
hint: lobster thermidor is one of my top picks right now for cooking daily tasks.
