Don't we already have that, in the form of the numerous food delivery services? You can log into your "machine" (ie. phone) and order whatever you want. It then magically appears at your front door. It doesn't pop out of a door in the front of the machine, but isn't the effect the same? The "machine" hasn't eliminated cooking today and I doubt that it will have in 100 years.
Personally I've never used an Internet based delivery service, as I prefer home cooking for a number of reasons. I suspect that ease is only a minor factor in food choice.
Food is also complex, in that there are so many combinations. Given 50 possible ingredients, there are a huge number of possibilities (plus interactions between ingredients) if you choose 6 of them to make a meal. How do you capture that in a machine, even neglecting that cooking technology continues to evolve?
