I have made food for months, and until getting Dine-Out recently, never knew why it didn't show in the restaurant.
NOW I know why.
1. Foods need SimData file (from single recipe) to appear in restaurant. My early pies all had it, but I found it unnecessary for food in the home and stopped adding it.
2. Single recipes need the following a TYPE,MEAL,COURSE,CATEGORY tags. There can be multiples of the tags but can only have one type
(example: <E>Recipe_Meal_Lunch</E> and <E>Recipe_Meal_Dinner</E> in same recipe)
3. The tags in the recipe must also be represented in the SimData file by the tag number
So through a search through all EA food and drink recipes I came up with the list of options and their tag numbers.
TYPE
<E>Recipe_Type_Food</E> 1505
<E>Recipe_Type_Drink</E> 1506
MEAL
<E>Recipe_Meal_Breakfast</E> 1510
<E>Recipe_Meal_Lunch</E> 1511
<E>Recipe_Meal_Dinner</E> 1512
COURSE
<E>Recipe_Course_Drink</E> 1524
<E>Recipe_Course_Appetizer</E> 1507
<E>Recipe_Course_Main</E> 1508
<E>Recipe_Course_Dessert</E> 1509
CATEGORY
<E>Recipe_Category_Meat</E> 1513
<E>Recipe_Category_Vegetarian</E> 1514
<E>Recipe_Category_Grains</E> 1515
<E>Recipe_Category_Sweets</E> 1516
<E>Recipe_Category_Seafood<E> 1519
<E>Recipe_Category_CakePie</E> 1536
<E>Recipe_Category_Fruit</E> 1532
<E>Recipe_Category_Chocolate</E> 1537
<E>Recipe_Category_Misc</E> 1517 (tag used for experimental food)
<E>Recipe_Category_Drinks</E> 1518
<E>Recipe_Category_Cold</E> 1533
<E>Recipe_Category_Nectar</E> 1535 (tag used for wines)
<E>Recipe_Category_Water</E> 1522
<E>Recipe_Category_Fizzy</E> 1531
<E>Recipe_Category_Hot</E> 1534
OPTIONAL TAGS
<E>Recipe_ChefsChoice_ChildFriendly</E> 1521
<E>Recipe_ChildRestricted</E> 1523
Child associated optional tags can be used to allow or disallow eating by children.
I have a LOT of recipes, so a lot of updating in my future. Hope this helps other creators.
