Gameplay
As a new student, you must cook your way through a variety of appetizers, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts. If you can navigate through all of your classes, and pass the exams, you’ll graduate and earn a culinary degree.
What you are basically doing in this game is you cook, and cook, and cook. You are in a Cooking Academy where they try to teach you to be the best chef ever.
Everything depends on how hard you try. You are to cook some of the recipes and pass some exams but whatever you are doing will always have something to do with cooking. And the tasks are going to include such things as peeling potatoes, slicing bread, mixing the dough, separating the eggs etc. Some of the tasks are not that difficult but some require very accurate touches with your mouse.
The mouse is used for all of your cooking tasks, from cutting to chopping to stirring and frying. There’s also the same stove boiling technique, where you are asked to do certain actions just as the instructions pass the bar at the bottom of the screen. This includes adjusting the cooking temperature, stirring the pot, and adding ingredients. For many recipes, you’ll be asked to knead or mix the dough, which is done by tracing over the lines from rounded edge to arrow tip. There’s a lot of food assembly and folding tasks, like sealing up spring rolls or shaping burritoes or crepes. To complete
these, you follow the directions on the screen, which generally means tracing over arrows and clicking certain spots as you go.
For each step in the food’s preparation, your instructor gives you a grade between 0 and 100. Quickly complete your task and you’ll even get bonus points, which can raise your score above 100 points. At the end the instructor will sample your dish and give you a letter grade. Get a perfect score or higher (thanks to bonus points) and you’ll get a big A+.
What’s pretty cool about Cooking Academy is that you can actually learn a thing or two about real cooking. While the recipes won’t give you exact proportions, they are fairly accurate in terms of ingredients and the general cooking process. Plus, there’s lots of interesting facts thrown in before each recipe.
