French toast
Popcorn. I even started going to matinee movies since there tends to be less people there, and the smell is less prevalent outside of the concession area/lobby. Too much of the smell makes me queasy.
Anything with bananas or hazelnut.
On at least a couple of occasions, I’ve had to move seats in the cinema to get away from the smell of it.

The aptly-named “stinky tofu”. The indoles created in this fermentation smell like s#it.
Dog’s food!

Much like the Bombay Duck/Bombil, Smells awful when cooking but tastes delicious when done!
Oh and Fermented Fish Sauce / Mắm Nêm not to be confused with Fish Sauce /Nước Mắm. Though once you open the Bottle it would be impossible to confuse the two.

I don’t mind other brands like Fancy Feast. I was feeding raw ground chicken for many years … good quality, frozen, has no odor. I couldn’t handle grinding 26 lbs of chicken at a time and now just feed cooked organic chicken. My cat is 7, indoors, never is sick.

You cook dog food?
I eat very crispy bacon a few times a year and love it. But I do not love the lingering grease smell, even a couple of hours later. We cook it in the microwave and throw out the paper towels it’s cooking with immediately (to the outside garbage can) and turn on the stove exhaust fan and put the bacon microwave cooker in hot soapy water. Still takes a while to get the smell out and if husband and son forget to turn on the exhaust fan, lingers for a long time.
oh, that Subway “bread”!
So sickly sweet, so disgusting, so full of all kinds of chemicals!
Whereas the smell of baking bread from scratch at home of any kind is wonderous!

Not “dog food” but dog’s food, which I am told can be quite stinky.
Yeah, cat food smells like ass, too, but I don’t consider opening a can of pet food “cooking.”
It’s not people food, it’s not being prepared, i.e. cooked for people by people in said kitchen. Maybe I just have jet-lag brain and misunderstood the OP 
Our garbage can get smelly, too, sometimes, or our sink, but I don’t consider those cooking smells either.
Yeah, it was me being facetious.
But there’s no way I would cook dog food, or dog’s food. And even the purveyors of such comestibles (i.e., raw food for dogs) do not recommend cooking it.
Why on earth would anyone do such a thing?
+1 Why I fry outside when I can.
