Shit they probably could have just set up and Emergency Culinary Hologram. Not like the Doctor would complain.

It sounds like it would be a net-positive energy wise if they installed holographic emitters in the mess hall. Not only could they have one less person eating resources BUT they can greatly improve crew moral.
Then they can have a rotating roster of the best cooks, swapping between cultures or even cram all of that knowledge into a single hologram a’la the EMH.
While cooking is a complex chemistry exhibit that requires a lot of talent, it shouldn’t take anywhere close to the amount of processing power an EMH does. It just doesn’t need to know tens of thousands of procedures on dozens of alien species.
At most, it needs to know the equivalent of ‘not to overly kneed biscuits’ and ‘it’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake’

Crewman Chell took over immediately with a full menu after Neelix left, so I'm pretty sure there were already something planned back then too. And it's not like he enjoyed the work that he was assigned, so why they wouldn't just let him work with Neelix before? Really, a lot of problems could have been solved by just allowing the Maquis crew a little more freedom in choosing their duties.
