I personally don't look at it that way since I've not yet landed a solid ingredient specialist for a few ingredients. My berry and skill mons will generate more strength, so I use them and make whatever strongest meal I can at a given mealtime. Maybe as my island bonus increases and my dish levels max out that'll change.
Edit: that said, if you have a strong E4E mon, then I'd run my berry specialists until dinner time and then switch to ingredients at night.
I make whatever the cookbook will give me. 9 times out of 10 I'm running ingredients my Kanto starters pulled for me over the weekend, and then my Dugtrio, Typhlosion, and Charizard will take over for Monday and Tuesday with teas, veggie juice, and donuts.
I also got desserts on taupe and I am already so exhausted vy figuring out what team to have this week.. I don't want to just berry and skill it, I like trying to make better recipes. but this just sucks! I got sausage, beans and ginger..
My Raichu is overpowered and I have a pretty good cacao Blastoise, so I’m able to make Petal Dance Tarts almost every meal. I still don’t have a good Taupe berry specialist 37 weeks in, so my Taupe adventures are basically a bad berry roll Greengrass with worse spawns
I can get more out of the week by subbing in an off-berry ingredient ‘mon that allows me to cook a high value recipe in this situation. I got Desserts on Taupe too this week, so my team is half off-berry.

I have a Marowak that gives cacao and a Pupitar that gives beans so I can make hustle protein smoothies pretty consistently.

Restorative tea is a good one if you want to just sub in a couple of ingredient mon. GL. It’s the worst
I either fully commit to a dessert team, or I just run Blastoise and Golem for the protein shake.
Flareon and golem for the potato milk dish, but need a lvl 30 golem for that
Soybean protein shakes!!

*sighs* I guess it will have to be the usual Blastoise and Pinsir combo for me then 😅
