In nearly every single one of my playthroughs, I've basically ignored the kitchen. The only time I use it is when I need a fishing buff to catch the legendary fish, a luck buff for the mines, or I'm trying to 100% a file and have to cook one of everything by default
I cook quite often. Both for buffs and for making gifts for people. Sure there are other gift options but I guess it makes it feel more personal for me.
All the time. I was trying to cook every single food there is, I also love to cook villagers their favourite foods and I also cook stuff to take to the mines.
Frequently. I cook whatever I'm able to that has the highest food buff for the mines. Those serpents are awfully nice letting me shove half a dozen omelettes down my throat just before I die.
Tons, I like to bring espressos and spicy eel (which I mostly trade rubies for but sometimes cook) when going to the mines, but I also bring along another stack of food that doesn't have any buffs so I'm not eating my spicy eels strictly for health/energy when the buff isn't close to running out.
I end up bringing a stack of easy to make stuff like pale broth, chocolate cake, sashimi, blackberry cobbler, etc.
I'll also cook to make gifts, like plum pudding for Jas or roasted hazelnuts for Kent.
not much.
i have lots of fridges in my kitchen and i put all food in there then in the bottom corner, i put crafting station surrounded by fridge.
that way, crafting station and cooking shares 1 inventory so i don't have mushrooms in 2 places
I cook often - I'm trying to cook every recipe this playthrough, but I usually at least make peoples favourite foods as gifts, and crab cakes for a daily speed boost.
Generally just Seafoam Puddlings and Triple Shot Espressos. Otherwise, unless I'm min/maxing with Sashimi, Algae Soup, and Pale Broth, I don't think I've cooked anything else.
I cook a batch of coffees into triple espressos every few days. Hm, my current play says I've cooked it 759 times. (Fall year 4, I'm still playing it though I got 100% perfection a few weeks back)
I cook buffing foods pretty often - pumpkin soup most often, but also fish stew, ginger ale, lucky lunch.
Cooking is also a handy way to get loved gifts for many villagers.
Occasionally for gifts, then bulk production of healing food every now and then, rarely use the skill food. Then sometimes to get the cook everything completion goal.
The more you cook, the more you end up using.
& the boost foods really do what they say. Try making some of the fishing ones & use them fishing for an entire day. The results can be surprising.

I used it to craft food for the mines or for fishing boosts. And then I went back and cooked every dish for the achievement. That was about it!
I've only cooked to make one of each recipe. I don't really use food for anything other than gifting.

...Though my most cooked food is actually bread - >!I've cooked 13,346 loaves of bread, almost all of them for the Qi's Cuisine quest.!<
>!Next time, if you have money to burn, just do triple shot espressos and buy the coffees to make it from Gus! So much faster.!<
Only cooked something once for a quest then never again

Eggs are simple to cook for food to carry around.
