I love the idea of the game, it feels so unique. Its a short fun game to play, I hope more people plays it.
One of the best implementations of the theme in my opinion. My only suggestion is that in the select recipe menu you emphasize that each recipe is a level, so players know that they are becoming gadually harder, cause i thought each recipe was simply different, not that each one was harder than the previous one, so i didnt start in the level 1 until i realized. What i mean is that the current recipe selection menu (although it has a visible number in each recipe) doesnt seem like a selection where there is a progression and you should start in recipe 1, it seems like you should choose the one you prefer .
Great game!
