I have exactly the same problem. There are no cooking problems in vanilla scenarios
Is this the full list of mods you use?

For this test, as I wanted to boil it down to as few mods as possible (probably could have got rid of EDB for the test, but alas). Actual mod list I use has to be over 80 mods at this point....

Same issue, error log is identical. However for me, I get the error on *ANY* storyteller, not just Maynard.

This bug still exists. Here is my error log:

I've narrowed this error down to this mod, using maynard story teller. Can't process cooking or stone cutting properly - doesn't produce final product:

Since apparently nobody cares at all about VFE:M - the issue is at least 2 years old and the solution is even here in the Discussions.

The FactionDef is missing the <allowedCultures> tag - which errors when used with Ideology.
The fix is rather simple though - so you can fix it locally. We've recently reported that via a better pipeline to the VE people, so maybe we'll get this officially fixed before VFE:M 2 comes out.

I've had this issue occur to me on a couple occasions and I noticed that this exclusively happens if you play with the New Kingdom Scenario (at least, starting culture is medieval) and you have Ideology installed, but have it disabled whilst in play.

Playing with Ideology enabled (and thus, whatever memes you want enabled) circumvents it.
