I loved playing this! I found the eggs to be the hardest to do, and the meat the most fun to do. I am very thankful that the recipe book is a physical item that I can walk by instead of something hidden in a menu entirely - a neat little cheat sheet for the recipe I am on at the time.
I got to a score of 11 (round 3)
The star system for the food was pretty fun, because then I could gauge how I was improving in my culinary skills. Nobody wants to disappoint the Hogfather, of course.
