I think though, there is a drift from the impression left by the
original Areivim post.

I thought you were originally saying that the heter to cook on YT is
limited to only including that which needs to be cooked on YT. This
would be a chidush, and I shared RYL's surprise.

Now we see the issue isn't melakhah, but simchas YT (so as not to be
cooking all YT), and not just permitting what must be cooked on YT
but what which would be enjoyed more if cooked on YT. IOW, there is no
problem planning fruit soup on the menu, even though having a different
appetizer wouldn't necessitate waiting until YT to prepare it. Now is
there a requirement to put up with 2nd-class fruit soup.

Or, for that matter, if you want omelets. (Just thinking of another food
I wouldn't enjoy much reheated.)

Tir'u baTov!
