Recipe Notebook by Enkidu
Adds a new section to the the sims Notebook to keep track of learned/unlocked food recipes.
Do you know how there are 27 City Living recipes that your sim can unlock by eating them once? I always had a hard time keeping track of them, especially when playing with multiple sims or switching households. Now I can just check the notebook to see what recipes my sims have already unlocked. I also added Notebook sections for Brindleton Bay, Selvadorada and Batuu food recipes.

Features
Adds a new Recipes section to the Notebook with sub-sections for food recipes from:
Installation and usage
The mod requires XmlInjector. You can get it from the Official In Memoriam Website. The mod will not work without it. You may in fact already have it as it is a very popular dependency for Sims4 Mods.
After installation, recipes will get added to the notebook once a sim eats a serving of that recipe.
If a sim has already unlocked several recipes they will not be in the notebook untill the sim eats a serving. In order to add the recipes unlocked before installing the mod, have the sim cook a serving of the recipe and eat it.
The mod does not touch notification or game messages in any way. I chose not to display a notification when a recipe gets added to the notebook as the notification panel is busy enough already. The Notebook icon will turn green when a new recipe is added.
After removing the mod the Recipes section will no longer appear in the Notebook.
Mod contains 5 files:
Tools and mentions
Thanks to Lot51 for the notebook injector code, tips and resources he shares with the community.
Made possible by the following tools & applications: Frank’s String Table Studio, Sims4Studio, Scumbumbo’s XML Extractor and TDESC explorer with an essential Aha! moment provided by SimsonianLibrary’s Archeology Kit mod.
Would never have existed without the amazing community on the Creator Musings discord.
Compatibility
I used injection on most items so there should be no risk of conflicts with other mods.
Batuu package contains overrides of the loot files that unlock the recipes. All other packages are injection based and should not conflict with anything.
If you use cheat mods or modded skill books to learn the recipes the sim will need to eat a food once in order for it to appear in the Notebook.

About Me
Hi, I'm Enkidu and I am a mod creator for The Sims 4 striving to make the gameplay experience more fun and immersive!
I LOVE The Sims and I've been playing the series since The Sims 1. I'd made some mods for myself before, but I've recently decided to share them with the community as well. I was happy to see they were well-received.
My mods bring gameplay enhancements and bug fixes, rebalancing game features with a focus on better integration of different pack features. I try to make sure my mods are both bug free and easy to use, so please leave any feedback, I appreciate it.
Thanks for trying out my mods, I really hope you enjoy them and they make your gameplay experience more fun!
