I finally have my cooking automated with the items from Cooking for Blockheads. Now all I do is double-click on a food item and its in my hand. This is the way I did it.
Make four fridges, two cooking tables, and a cooking oven. Stack two fridges (shift click to stack). To the right of that put a cooking table, to the right of that the oven, to the right of that another cooking table, and to the right of that two more stacked fridges. All of those fridges are necessary if you want to have ALL food available including salt and cups of water. Put the baking dish, skillet, pot and saucepan in the oven.(there are four slots for them on the left when you click on the oven). Put the other utensils in one of the fridges. Now if you click on either of the cooking tables you will see all the possible recipes for the ingredients you have. (the tables seem to be necessary to link the fridges, which is why i put two of them.) With the chopping block, mortar and pestle and cutting board in the fridge it is automatically used. If you have raw meat it actually cooks in the oven.
