Missing these…

I’m missing midnight cake and rotten food. I have some questions…. I’ve been invited to the secret meeting with the witches and she’s never had the recipe for midnight cake and I’m on year 4. I’m also on the winter festival day I’ve gotten a cranberry punch as a gift but I can’t make it in the stove it’s blacked out like I don’t have the recipe so how do I get that recipe as well. I’ve only got it in the mail after giving the cranberry’s to the mayor. I also have rot turned off so do I turn it on and will it be inedible goop be unlocked? And will all my food in my chests spoil?
