Putting aside from you overthinking a game mechanic, in a game where almost everything is a joke of some kind, in real life, cooking ingredients separately isn't the same thing as cooking them together. The cooking is a chemical process, which improves the digestibility of the food by changing the chemical composition of the ingredients. Being able to digest the food easier means you'll get more benefit from it. Roasted meat and boiled minced meat does not necessarily allow the consumer to obtain same amount of nutrition or calories, since the chemical process is different.
