( maybe I need a vent for the cooker in the kitchen?).

Yes, no doubt about it.

Old kitchen here had a cooker hood but it recycled the air. There was
an extractor fan but it was broken. Didn't have a problem with mould
but when cooking the windows (6mm double glazed units) would stream
with condensation.

I removed the broken extrator fan and installed a length of vent hose
from the hood to the hole in the wall, draught proofed of course. Use
the hood when cooking, no more condenstaion on the windows.
