Is there any food that is cooked on the International Space Station, or is it all prepackaged?
Currently, it's all pre-packaged. Though I've seen an article very recently and they are working on baking bread in space from scratch, first step to developing methods to cook in space (or rather, to cook in zero g space stations where something like flour and crumbs could float everywhere and cause fires and all kinds of trouble) Edit: Someone posted it in a reply already, but this is a similar article to the one I've read (can't be bothered to check history for that particular post, information is basically the same): https://www.newscientist.com/article/2134009-crumb-free-bread-will-mean-iss-astronauts-can-now-bake-in-space/ More on reddit.com

Question about ISS. How much food is stored on board?
Former Boeing engineer who worked on the Space Station here. Normally they have around 6 months worth of stored food onboard, and the various cargo vehicles restock the supplies each time they visit. The intent is to have enough reserves in case some of the supply vehicles are late or crash. Minimum reserves are set at 45 days, at which point they would need to take action. In case they run short, they send back some crew in one of the Soyuz, which extends the time left on the remaining supplies. In an extreme situation, they would have to abandon the Station entirely, but that has not happened yet. Mission control can still operate the station from the ground, so no humans on board does not mean total shutdown. But without a crew you can't do maintenance, and eventually things will break.

Space Station | The Station | Living in Space
The food that NASA's early astronauts had to eat in space is a testament to their fortitude. John Glenn, America's first man to eat anything in the near-weightless environment of Earth orbit, found the task of eating fairly easy, but found the menu to be limited.

4 days ago - Since 2002, the small LADA Greenhouse system (the leaf chamber is just 16 x 20 x 26 cm/6 x 8 x 10 inches) has been used on board the International Space Station to study how plants grow in microgravity and to grow edible vegetables for the astronauts. LADA includes a control module and was sent to the station already equipped with the root media for the plants to be grown and eaten in space.

In pics of food on the ISS I’ve noticed some of the items look exactly like the ones from US military rations (such as the peanut butter from MREs). Are there many MRE items that are utilized in space? Do crew members select their meals in advance? - Quora
Answer: Actually, the question should ask how many food items developed for space flights are used in MREs. A famous food I remember is “Astronaut Ice Cream”, which is not refrigerated or frozen, shelf stable, and capable of long-term storage. The techniques developed for this are used to make th...

the ISS is resupplied pretty damn often with missions like northrop grumman’s cygnus (one launched and docked last week) and spacex’s non-crew dragons. i really kind of hate how everyone’s spreading that the astronauts from boeing are “stranded” on the ISS. it’s overly dramatic
